Development of the human body is the process of growth to maturity. The process begins with fertilisation, where an egg released from the [[ovary]] of a female is penetrated by [[sperm]]. The egg then lodges in the [[uterus]], where an [[embryo]] and later [[fetus]] develop until [[childbirth|birth]]. Growth and development occur after birth, and include both physical and psychological development, influenced by genetic, hormonal, environmental and other factors. Development and growth continue throughout life, through [[Child|childhood]], [[adolescence]], and through [[Adult|adulthood]] to [[old age]], and are referred to as the process of [[Ageing|aging]].
