Integumentary System Flashcards
excessive keratinization, dryness, fish-scale like skin
ichthyosis
thick, ridged, & cracked skin; inherited
harlequin fetus
covered at birth with a thick, taut membrane that cracks & falls off in sheets
collodian baby
similar to collodian baby but the scaling persists & interferes with development of sweat glands & hair
lamellar ichthyosis
missing teeth; hair, nails, skin affected; hereditary
congenital ectodermal dysplasia
ectodermal dysplasia, cleft lip/palate, ectrodactyly
ectrodactyly-ectodermal dysplasia-clefting syndrome
most common benign neoplasms in infants, anterior near face
port-wine stain hemangioma
skin, hair, retina lack pigment; general & localized
albinism
excessive development of male breast tissue
gynecomastia
absence of nipples
athelia
absence of breasts
amastia
extra breast
polymastia
extra nipple
polythelia
supernumerary nipple
common in males & develop from extra mammary buds along mammary crest
absence of loss of scalp hair
alopecia
hair loss from failure of hair follicle development
congenital alopecia
excessive hairiness due to extra hair follicles
hypertrichosis
twisted & bent hairs; ectodermal defects
pili torti (familial)
congenital absence of nails
aplastic anonychia
natal teeth
erupted at birth (1/2000)
pits/fissures in enamel of teeth
enamel hypoplasia
cyst development in mandible, maxilla, or maxillary sinus from unerupted teeth
dentigerous cyst
brown to gray-blue colored teeth due to odontoblasts fail to differentiate & poorly calcify dentin
dentinogenessi imperfecta
vitamin D deficiency that causes impaired calcium absorption in intestines & ossification of epiphyseal cartilage plates
rickets
common cause of dwarfism; bowed & short limbs & trunk, enlarged head
achondoplasia
lethal skeletal dysplasia; respiratory failure causes death in infants within minutes of birth
thantophoric dysplasia
excessive height & body proportions
gigantism
enlargement of soft tissues, visceral organs, & bones of hands, face, & feet; bones can’t elongate
acromegaly
growth retardation, mental deficiencies, skeletal abnormalities, deficiencies of fetal thyroid hormone
cretinism
absence of pec major muscle
associated with Poland’s syndrome, absence of mammary gland, & syndactyly
failure of normal muscle development leading to immobility of joints
arthrogryposis multiplex congenital
incomplete expansion of lungs and pneumonitis
congenital absence of diaphragm
injury to sternocleidomastoid during birth, fixed rotation of head; muscle becomes fibrous tissue & shortens
congenital torticollis (wryneck syndrome)
absence of limb/s
amelia - suppression of limb bud development
absence of part of limb/s
meromelia - disturbance of growth of limb
absence of central digits from failure of digital rays to develop
cleft hand
hand deviates laterally & ulna bows; failure of mesenchymal primordium of radius to form
congenital absence of radius
short digits
brachydachyly
supernumerary digits (inherited)
polydactyly
failure of webs to degenerate between digits
cutaneous syndactyly
notches between digital rays fail to develop; no separation of digits
osseus syndactyly
lack of pre or post axial partition of limb muscles
hemimelia
missing middle digits of hand
ectrodactyly
