2/3/14- Orofacial Development Flashcards
When do branchial arches start to form?
27 to 28 days the arches start to form the face and the hyoid bone
Primitively speaking, what are the branchial arches?
Primitive gills
How many branchial arches are there?
5 pairs
What are the branchial arches?
- Mandibular arch
- Hyoid
- Thyrohyoid
4 & 5 are not distinct or named
What is the ear placement during formation?
Ears are low and rotated on their back as they develop and move up and come forward
Which process is an extension of the front of the head?
Frontonasal process
Why is it possible to NOT have a midline cleft in the facial structure (skull or nose)?
Because we have a frontonasal process
What consists of our premaxilla?
- 4 front teeth
- front part of the nose
- forehead is all one piece (Is the forehead part of the premaxilla?)
What direction is the maxilla coming in towards?
center
What direction is the palatine process forming from?
It is pointing down and have to move towards the center and the palatine processes have to swing up.
T/F
Palatine processes and palatal shelves are the same thing?
True
What is the palatal shelf made of?
a boney/hard palate
What happens if the tongue does not move out of the way when the palatal shelf/palatine process are trying to fuse
the palatine process/palatal shelf will not fuse to the nasal spine.
What are the 4 structures that must come together during fusion?
Nasal spine, 2 palatal shelf, and premaxilla.
Where must the 4 structures fuse from?
the front (incisive foramen) pieces will come together from the front and then start fusing towards the back
T/F
The 4 structures for fusion have to occur during a specific timeframe?
True
What happens if the fusion doesn’t happen in the correct timeframe
Cleft
What has to happen in order for these 4 structures to fuse?
The molecular edges of these structures start to disintegrate so the molecules can integrate and fuse.
Describe the embryonic period, specifically the period of dividing zygote, and implantation?
- Starts with 2 gametes forming the zygote.
- then the zygote divides into 2 cells
- then forms into a blastomere
- morula
- Followed by a blastocyst/trophoblast
- attachment to uterine wall
- Gastrolation
- embryonic disk
When does the CNS complete it’s development?
26-28 years of age
When is the heart done developing?
9 weeks (embryonic period)
T/F
Eyes, teeth and external gentalia finish developing before birth
Falst
When does early palate development finish?
9th week.
When does late palate development finish?
12 weeks
What type of cleft do you get if the right palatine shelf is in position and fuses with the nasal spine but the left ps is not there yet?
Unilateral left cleft
What do you get if neither ps is in place at time of the fusion window?
Bilateral cleft
What cleft is the most common?
Unilateral left cleft
What does a complete cleft mean?
The cleft runs from the front (alveolar ridge) to the back (soft palate)
COLUMELLA???
