how many closeu sight for tthe nurla tube are there
5
what are the defects called for failure of neural tube to close
anencephaly
encephalocoele
spina bifida
exencephaly is
failrue fo the anteior neuropore to close
consequence of exencephaly is
skull fials to form
brian tissue degenataes
it is incompatible with life

what is spinal bifida with menigocele
where the cnf and melinges produe
what is spinal bifida with meningomyelocle
where spinal nerve and cnf, and mengies produce
how to prevnet spinal difia
folic acid supplemtnes
what are ways of detecing spinal bifida
aminocenties, ultra sound materal blod sample - where a fetoprien in serum is high form fealt liver
causes of spienal bidif
genetics
nutrion - too ligle folate or to much vit a
environmental - e.g. hypermia, taking cerian drugs such as sodium valproate
