12. Ear Development (KEIM) Flashcards
What does the spiral organ differentiate from?
Cells of the cochlear duct itself.
Tissues of the Middle Ear Derivatives
external auditory meatus and external TM
tubotympanic recess
tympanic membrane
malleus and incus
stapes
covering the ossicles
1st pharyngeal groove, surface ectoderm
1st pharyngeal pouch, endoderm
ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm from PA1
NCC from PA1
NCC PA2
endodermal epithelium
Tensor Tympani
Insertion
Action
Derived from
handle of malleus
dampen sounds
PA1 mesoderm, CN V
Stapedius
Insertion
Action
Derived from?
neck of stapes
pulls posteriorly, dampens sounds
PA 2 mesoderm, CN VII
Inner Ear
Derived from?
forms how and when
surface ectoderm, 1st part to form
4th wk
otic placode from surface endoderm invaginates to form otic pit which rounds up to form the vesicle which will migrate and become primordium of membranous labyrinth
External Ear
Derived from
Innervated by
1st and 2nd PA NCC with mesencymal swellings covered with ectoderm
Great auricular, CN V3, VII, and X
How is the tympanic cavity formed?
The first pharyngeal pouch foms the tubotympanic recess, which forms the pharyngotympanic tube (proximally) and the tympanic cavity (distally).
From what structures is the external ear derived?
The auricular hillocks surrounding the first pharyngeal groove.
What structure connects the cochlea to the saccule?
The ductus reuniens.
What embryological tissue is the otic placode made of?
Surface ectoderm.
What is the external auditory meatus derived from?
The 1st pharyngeal groove.
What is the tympanic membrane derived from?
Three parts:
Ectoderm from the 1st pharyngeal groove.
Mesenchyme from pharyngeal arches 1 and 2.
Endoderm from the tubotympanic recess (1st pharyngeal pouch)
Where does the stapedius insert?
Where does the tensor tympani insert?
Tensor tympani inserts onto the handle of the malleus.
Stapedius inserts on the neck of the stapes.
What forms the endolymphatic duct and sac?
What trascription factor regulates this differentiation?
A diverticulum from the dorsal utricular part of the otic vesicle.
SOHOL
What are the tensor tympani and stapedius muscles derived from respectively?
Tensor tympani: 1st pharyngeal arch mesoderm.
Stapedius: 2nd pharyngeal arch mesoderm.
