Infancy And Childhood Flashcards
Represent primary errors of morphogenesis
Intrinsically abnormal developmental process
Malformation
Extrinsic disturbance in morphogenesis
Disruption
Extrinsic disturbance of development
Due to abnormal biomechanical forces
Deformation
Most chromosomal disorder arises at what stage
Gametogensis
What plays a critical role in the morphogenesis
Hedgehog signaling pathway
Causes extremely high incidence of limb malformation
Thalidomide
This stage is extremely susceptible to teratogens
3rd to 9th week
This can cause holoprosencephaly and cyclopia
Cyclopamine
Disrupts expression of the homebox proteins
Valporic acis
Cleft lip and palate may due to deregulation of what signaling pathway
TGFB
Common cause of RDS in newborn
Hyaline membrane disease
Seen in RDS x ray film
Ground glass appearance
Plays a role in pulmonary innate hose defense
SP- A and D
Involved in the reduction of surface tension
SP- B and C
Clinical features of Cystic Fibrosis
Chronic lung disease Pancreatic insufficiency Steatorrhea Malnutrition Hepatic cirrhosis Intestinal obstruction Male infertility
