Types of errors in morphogenesis
Types of errors in morphogenesis
  • Agenesis -  Absent organ due to absent primordial tissue.
  • Aplasia - Absent organ despite presence of primordial tissue. 
  • Hypoplasia -  Incomplete organ development; primordial tissue present. 
  • Disruption -  2° breakdown of previously normal tissue or structure (eg, amniotic band syndrome). 
  • Deformation - Extrinsic disruption (eg, multiple gestations - crowding - foot deformities); occurs after embryonic period.
