Summary Introduction
To describe:
The three patterns of survivorship curves.
Concept introduction:
The survivorship curve is a graph that reflects the proportion of surviving individuals at a particular age. The survivorship curve utilizes the data from the life table. It reflects the death rate occurring in a particular age class.

X-axis: Labeled "Life Span" with stages "Young" (0-5 years), "Middle-aged" (6-37 years), and "Old" (38-75 years). Key Features of the Curve: Begins high, reflecting near-total survival from birth to maturity due to low mortality and protected upbringing. remains flat and high through the middle age, indicating sustained low mortality. shows a steep decline in old age, representing increased mortality as individuals reach the latter part of their lifespan.arrow_forward
