Aplasia is the complete failure of an organ or tissue to develop during embryonic or fetal development. It can be caused by hereditary defects, accidental death of cells during critical development periods, or disease in the mother infecting the fetus. Aplasia involving vital organs like the heart or brain will result in death, but the effects depend on the specific organ affected.
2. Aplasia is the complete failure of an organ
or tissue to develop. The disturbance in growth
occurs in the embryo and fetus during
intrauterine development.
5. 2. ACCIDENTAL DEATH OF A CELL – at some
critical point in the development of the
individual. The earlier this occurs in life, the
more likely there will be serious deffect in the
mature individual.
6. 3. DISEASE – Particularly Viral of the dam
during Gestation may invade the fetus and
cause cellular damage.
8. There is a total absence of a tissue or
organ involved. At times, in the area where the
structure should have been, there is a mass of
fat or connective tissue, Whether Aplasia will
be lethal or not, it depends upon what organ is
involved. If the heart or brain will fail to
develop, the animal will Die
