13. Development of Orofacial Structures Flashcards
- derived from mesenchyme
- gives rise to bones that enclose the brain
- cartilaginous and membrane components
neurocranium
- derived from mesenchyme
- gives rise to bones that comprise facial skeleton
- cartilaginous and mebranous components
viscerocranium
- mesenchymal origin without artilage formation
- neurovascularization occurs
- osteoblasts deposit osteoid (form bone and osteocytes)
intramembranous ossification
- pre-existing cartilaginous model (long bones)
- primary ossification centers appear in diaphysis
- chondrocytes hypertrophy (matrix calcifies)
endochondral ossification
cartilaginous parts of the neurocranium
- occipital bone
- body of sphenoid bone
- ethmoid bone
- petrous and mastoid parts of the temporal bone
membranous parts of the neurocranium
calvaria: frontal and parietal bones
embrologyic origin of cartilaginous viscerocranium
NCC > bones and connective tissue
membranous viscerocranium
- maxillary prominence
- squamous part of temporal bone
- maxilla
- zygomatic bone
premature fusion of cranial structures
craniosyntosis
- premature fusion of cranial suture: sagittal
- long, narrow wedge shaped cranium
- most common
scaphocephaly
- premature fusion of cranial suture: entire coronal suture
- high, tower-like cranium
brachycephaly
- premature fusion of cranial suture: one side of coronal suture
- twisted and asymmetric
plagiocephaly
premature fusion of cranial suture: frontal (metopic) suture
trigonocephaly
derivatives of fronal nasal prominence
forehead & dorsum/apex of nose
derivative of the lateral nasal prominence
alae of nose
derivatives of medial nasal prominence
nasal septum, ethmoid bone, and cribriform plate
derivatives of maxillary prominence
upper cheek ad upper lip
derivatives of mandibular prominence
chin, lower lip, cheek
What drives shape/rate of growth of the head?
brain development
(“brain develops rapidly - especially forebrain - which influences head shape”)
- Name the facial primordia.
- when do they first appear?
- 5 facial primordia: 2 maxilary prominences, 2 mandibular prominences, 1 frontonasal prominence
- Appear during week 4
Where is the facial primordia located?
surrounding the stomodeum
separated from primordial pharynx by oropharyngeal membrane (ruptures around day 26)
- Which is the first facial prominence to form?
- Describe process.
- Mandibular prominence (lower jaw and lip)
- Oropharngeal membrane disintegrates > merging of medial ends of mandibular prominences
incomplete fusion of the medial ends of the mandibular prominences
chin dimple
- What gives rise to upper lip, maxilla, and secondary palate?
- Describe this process.
- Maxillary prominences
- Grow medially > merge laterally w/ mandibular prominences
- Primordial lips & cheeks invaded by mesencyme from PA 2 > give rise to facial muscles
What gives rise to the forehead, rostral boundary of stomodeum, and nose?
frontonasal prominence [surrounds ventrolaterla part of forebrain]
bilateral oval thickenings of surface ectoderm on the inferolateral portion of frontonasal prominence
nasal placodes
proliferation of nasal placodes cause horse-shaped elevations called ____
medial and lateral nasal prominences
formation of the medial and lateral nasal prominences result in formation of (1) ____ which ultimately form (2) ______
- nasal pits
- primordial nares
median lateral prominence
- MNP shifted towards midline w/ medial growth of maxillary prominences
- regulated by PDGFRA
- fusion results in formation of philtrum
intermaxillary segment
philtrum
