Ch. 2 Flashcards
What is a cleft?
-Abnormal _______ or fissure in an anatomical structure
-Usually a _______ _______ due to abnormal fusion of parts during embryological development
-Can be due to ________ surgery
-Vary in ________ and __________
-Follow _________ __________ lines
Length of ____________ suture line.
-Abnormal opening or fissure in an anatomical structure
-Usually a congenital malformation due to abnormal fusion of parts during embryological development
-Can be due to ablative surgery
-Vary in type and severity
-Follow embryological suture lines
Length of medial suture line.
Embryological Development is dependent on the formation of _______________.
neural crest cells in embryo
Where are neural crest cells found?
between the neural tube and the epidermis of an embryo
Cells migrate to form ______.
skull and face
Causes of clefts:
- _________ or ________ factors delay cell ___________ and palatal shelf movement.
- This can cause the embryo to miss the period of _________ _________fusion.
- Genetic or environmental factors delay cell migration and palatal shelf movement.
- This can cause the embryo to miss the period of epithelial cell fusion.
Multifactorial Inheritance: Endogenous (internal) factors
Chromosomal disorders
Genetic disorders
Multifactorial Inheritance: Exogenous (external) factors
Drugs: phenytoin (Dilantin), valium, and corticosteroids
Viruses (rubella, influenza)
Teratogens (smoking, lead)
Nutritional deficiencies or maternal obesity
Mechanical interference
Lip (primary palate) begins at
7 weeks
Palate (secondary palate) begins at
9 weeks
should be finished by 12 weeks
Embryological closure begins at
_______ ___________ and “zips” …
-____________ to form the alveolar ridge and then lip
-____________ to form the hard palate and velum
incisive foramen and “zips” …
- forward to form the alveolar ridge and then lip
- backward to form the hard palate and velum
Clefting Severity occurs from
the _______ in to the incisive foramen
the ________ in to the incisive foramen
the lip in to the incisive foramen
the uvula in to the incisive foramen
right side of the lip
may close first.
Oral surface of the velum
Oral surface of velum may close first.
