Introduction These notes cover abnormalities that occur during development. The notes covering early development and specific systems also have a page showing specific related abnormalities (this is usually on Page 2 of each notes section). This page has no current content and is a link to Normal and Abnormal Population Data.

Computer Activities UNSW Embryology: Embryo Images Unit: Unit: All units may have some reference to Abnormal Development

Objectives Understand the genetic mechanisms that lead to abnormal development in general. Understand the maternal influences that lead to abnormal development in general. Understand the environmental mechanisms that lead to abnormal development in general. Identify the incidence of abnormal development in the general population in Australia. Identify the major congenital abnormalities and their incidence. Identify the minor congenital abnormalities. Identify the global statistics of fertility, birthrates, rates of childhood death, life expectancy, male/female ratios.
