What are birth defects Birth defects are anom alities of structure or function of the body that are present at birth Structural birth defects o Functional birth defects Birth defects ARE NOT impairment of body function or structure due to adverse influences to which the infant has been subjected at birth- birth injuries
What are birth defects? Birth defects ARE abnormalities of structure or function of the body that are present at birth Structural birth defects Functional birth defects Birth defects ARE NOT impairment of body function or structure due to adverse influences to which the infant has been subjected at birth – birth injuries
Structural birth Defects related to how a body part/structure looks D Cleft lip/palate Heart defects, e.g. misshaped valves Abnormal limbs, e.g. clubfoot Neural tube defects, e.g. spina bifida

Functional birth defects related to how a body part/structure works D Central Nervous System problems, e.g. Down syndrome Sensory problems, e.g. blindness Metabolic disorders, e. g, phenylketonuria(PKU Degenerative disorders, e.g. muscular dystrophy
