22
Q

What is cyclopia?

A

Fusion of eyes due to loss of midline tissue

23
Q

What is the first sign of ear development?

A

Thickening of surface ectoderm on each side of rhombencephalon (Otic placodes)

24
Q

What are otic placodes known as once they invaginate?

A

Otic or auditory vesicles

25
Q

What does each otic vesicle divide into?

A

Ventral and dorsal parts

Differentiation forms ganglion cells for vestibulocochlear ganglia

26
Q

What is derived from the ventral part of the otic vesicle?

A

Saccule and Organ of Corti

27
Q

What is derived from the dorsal part of the otic vesicle?

A

Utricle
Semicircular canals
Endolymphatic duct

28
Q

What is the collective names for the structures formed by the ventral and dorsal vesicles?

A

Membranous labyrinth

29
Q

What happens to the otic vesicle in the 4th week?

A

Detaches from surface ectoderm

30
Q

What role do neural crest cells have in the ear?

A

Form bony labyrinth in temporal bone

31
Q

What forms the perilymphatic space?

A

Connective tissue closest to the membranous labyrinth degenerates

32
Q

What is the tympanic cavity derived from?

A

1st pharyngeal pouch

33
Q

What comes from the distal part of the 1st pharyngeal pouch?

A

Tubotympanic recess > primitive tympanic cavity

34
Q

What comes from the proximal part of the 1st pharyngeal pouch?

1st

36
Q

Which pharyngeal arch does the stapes come from?

A

2nd

37
Q

What is the tympanic membrane made up of?

A

Ectodermal epithelium lining at bottom of auditory meatus and tympanic cavity
Connective tissue

38
Q

What is the filling of the external auditory meatus with ectodermal cells called?

A

Meatal plug

39
Q

What does the pinna develop from?

A

6 auricular hillocks surrounding the 1st pharyngeal cleft
