  2. Butterfly vertebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_vertebra

    CT imaging: Provides greater detail regarding the bony anatomy, including the extent of clefting and the composition of the intervening tissue. MRI: Useful for evaluating associated spinal cord abnormalities or adjacent soft tissue changes. The sagittal cleft may appear as a hyperintense signal on T2-weighted images, representing cartilaginous ...

  3. Sternal foramen - Wikipedia

    This variation is usually present at the lower one-third of the sternal body.It has an oval shape and a unique "bow tie" appearance when seen on axial computed tomography.

  4. Midline cervical cleft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Midline_cervical_cleft

    Midline cervical clefts are a rare congenital anomaly resulting from incomplete fusion during embryogenesis of the first and second branchial arches in the ventral midline of the neck. The condition presents as a midline cutaneous defect of the anterior neck with a skin projection or sinus, or as a subcutaneous erythematous fibrous cord.

  5. Raphe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raphe

    Incomplete fusion of the palatine raphe results in a congenital defect known as cleft palate. The pharyngeal raphe joins the left and right pharyngeal constrictors. The perineal raphe extends from the anus, through the mid-line of the scrotum (scrotal raphe), and upwards through the ventral mid-line aspect of the penis (penile raphe) in males.

  6. Jaw abnormality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw_abnormality

    In general abnormalities arise within the jaw when there is a disturbance or fault in the fusion of the mandibular processes. The mandible in particular has the most differential typical growth anomalies than any other bone in the human skeleton. This is due to variants in the complex symmetrical growth pattern which formulates the mandible. [1]

  7. Craniosynostosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Craniosynostosis

    The fusion of this suture causes a certain change in the shape of the skull; a deformity of the skull. [ 7 ] Virchow's law dictates that, when premature suture closure occurs, growth of the skull typically is restricted perpendicularly to the fused suture and enhanced in a plane parallel to it, thus trying to provide space for the fast-growing ...

  8. Inframammary fold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inframammary_fold

    In human anatomy, the inframammary fold (IMF), inframammary crease or inframammary line is the natural lower boundary of the breast; the place where the breast and the chest meet. The choice of the term depends on the prominence of the feature. It is also sometimes called the inframammary ligament.

  9. Human skin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_skin

    The human skin is the outer covering of the body and is the largest organ of the integumentary system. The skin has up to seven layers of ectodermal tissue guarding muscles, bones, ligaments and internal organs. Human skin is similar to most of the other mammals' skin, and it is very similar to pig skin.
