👉 The term "coelogastrula" is often used in medicine to refer to a type of cleft palate. It is characterized by the presence of two separate lobe-like structures, known as coelestria or coelocera, that are connected by a small gap or crevice called an intercostal space. These structures are formed during fetal development and can be found in various parts of the body, including the mouth, nose, and ears.
