3) Development of Head & Neck (1) Flashcards
What are the pharyngeal (branchial) arches?
Sequence of ridges that from in the lateral walls of the embryonic pharynx (at cranial end of neural tube)
What are the three regions in the adult pharynx?
Nasal - superior to soft palate
Oral - between soft palate and larynx
Laryngeal - posterior to larynx
How many pharyngeal arches are there?
5, number 1-6
What is superior to the pharyngeal arches?
Frontonasal prominence which is in front of the brain
Describe how the arches are arranged (embryonic tissues):
Mesenchyme core with neural crest cells
Covered by ectoderm on external surface (between arches are clefts)
Covered by endoderm on internal surface (pharyngeal pouches)
What does each arch have associated with it?
Artery, nerve and cartilage bar
What are the three regions of primitive brain?
Forebrain - prosencephalon
Midbrain - mesencephalon
Hindbrain - rhombencephalon
How many pairs of cranial nerves are there?
12
How are the cranial nerves classified?
Function and embryological origin
Where are the cranial nerves derived from?
Apart from I and II, mid or hind brain
Which cranial nerves are associated with the pharyngeal arches?
V, VII, IX and X
Which cranial nerves have a relationship with the pharyngeal arch system?
(not associated with an arch)
CN XI (cranial accessory) and CN XII
What is the facial skeleton derived from?
Frontonasal prominence and 1st pharyngeal arch
What nerve is associated with the 1st pharyngeal arch?
And what is the sensory supply?
CN V, trigeminal nerve
Skin of face
What nerve is associated with the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
And what is the sensory supply?
CN VII, facial nerve
Anterior 2/3rd tongue, taste buds
What nerve is associated with the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
And what is the sensory supply?
CN IX, glossopharyngeal nerve
Posterior 1/3rd tongue
