🗑
how does caudaldysgenesis happen?   insufficient mesoderm in caudalmost embryo  
🗑
what is holoprosencephaly? what causes it?   deficiency of midline craniofacial structures from disruption of forebrain development; fetal alcohol syndrome  
🗑

🗑
if the neural tube fails to close in brain vesicles, what happens?   ancephaly  
🗑
amniocentesis shows what elevation in defects?   alpha-fetoprotein and acetylcholinesterase  
🗑
Malformations arising during development, produced by environmental, not genetic, insults are what?   developmental defects  
🗑
disorders present at birth, produced by environmental and/or genetic causes. These can be morphological, behavioral and metabolic:   Birth Defects, Congenital Anomalies  
🗑
malformations produced over a prolonged period of time due to persistent molding forces, e.g. cranial shape change due to decreased amniotic fluid (oligohydramnios):   deformation  
🗑
malformations produced after the initial formation of a normal structure, due to abruptly occurring destructive forces, e.g. amniotic band disruption complexes causing in utero amputation:   disruption  
🗑
morphological anomalies are called what?   congenital malformations  
🗑
what is an extreme example of caudal dysgenesis?   sirenomelia  
🗑
spina bifida occulta is a ___ neural tube defect while spina bifida meningomyelocele is a ____ neural tube defect:   closed; open  
🗑
dysraphism is most common at what points in the neural tube?   L5 or S1  
🗑
Hydrocephaly and neurologic deficit is more common with ____ defects, urinary incontinence with ____ defects   anterior; posterior  
🗑
what is a CSF-filled meningeal sac?   cranial meningocele  
🗑
what is a CSF-filled meningeal sac that contains brain tissue?   cranial encephalocele  
🗑
dizygotic twins are what? monozygotic?   fraternal, identical  
🗑
if dyzygotic blastocysts implant in close proximity, what structures can be fused?   chorion, placenta  
🗑
what is most common scenario for monozygotic twins, that is, when do they split?   embryoblast of the blastocyst splits in two  
🗑
in monozygotic twins, if the embryoblast splits in two, what structures become fused?   chorion, placenta  
🗑
in the case of monozygotic twins, when there is a split in the bilaminar stage just before formation of the primitive streak, what structures are fused?   chorion, placenta, amnion  
🗑
in monozygotic twins, if the split occurs at the 2-cell embryo stage, what structures will be fused?   none  
🗑
when a twin resorbs another twin, the mummified body is known as a what?   fetus papyraceus  
🗑
if the embryoblast or germ disc does not separate completely, what condition develops?   conjoined twins  
🗑
Conjoined twins are most common in what type of pregnancy?   monoamniotic  
🗑
