An egg from the mother is fertilized by a sperm from the father and turns into a zygote. Over time the zygote develops into an embryo inside the mother’s womb. At first, the embryo looks like a bundle of cells. By about eight weeks this bundle of cells gradually turns into the shape of the human body. This is called the foetus. The foetus totally depends on its mother as it cannot breathe, drink or eat by itself

After nine months in the mother’s womb, the foetus is fully developed and a baby is born. Babies from birth to 1 year are also known as infants. Newborn babies can breathe, suck, swallow and cry when they feel hungry, cold and hot temperatures or any uncomfortable situation. This is how they communicate as they still cannot talk. Babies are usually fed on mother’s milk

The baby grows into a child. It slowly learns to crawl and then walk, talk, run, jump, eat by itself, identify things in its surroundings, communicate properly, read and write, make friends and do many more childhood activities. In the stage childhood, children can be divided into; toddlers (1-3 years), preschoolers (3-5 years) and primary school children (5-12 years).

At the stage, of adolescence, the child grows into an adolescent through a period called Puberty. Puberty usually occurs in the child’s teenage years, starting from 13 years up to 19 years. Therefore, adolescents are also called teenagers. During puberty rapid growth and changes in the body take place. These include changes in body shape, and growing hair on some parts of the body, for example, boys grow hair on their faces, and boys' voices deepen and rough. Similarly, at this stage, the behavior patterns and attitudes of the teenagers will change as they become independent in doing their day-to-day activities.

People who are from age 20 years to 65 years old are called adults. Adults can reproduce, make their own families and so continue the life cycle. Adults can be divided into; young adults (20 – 36 years), middle-aged adults (36 – 55 years) and older adults (55 – 65 years).

When a person reaches 65 years of age, he/she is known as an old or elderly person. The average life expectancy of a person can vary from 70 to 85 years. But it totally depends on the health of each person, as some die before 70 years, whereas some die after 85 years. However, the human life cycle ends at this stage.
