510-3 Flashcards
When do the head and neck begin to form in the embryo?
4 to 5 weeks
What are the three main components of the embryonic pharynx?
1)ARCHES 2)POUCHES(inside=endoderm) 3)CLEFTS(outside=ectoderm)
What are 3 signaling molecules that help guide Neural Crest Cells to the pharyngeal arches?
1)Shh (Sonic hedge hog) 2)Bmp (Bone morphogenic proteins) 3)Fgf(fibroblast growth factors)
How are regional growth factor gradients regulated in the embryo (2 ways)? What are the overall genes expressed?
Temporally & Spatially by expression of Hox genes
What comprises a pharyngeal arch? What does each pharyngeal arch develop into?
Mesenchymal tissue. They each develop into its own artery, nerve, muscle, and skeletal element of the head and neck.
What do the pharyngeal clefts give rise to?
outer ear canal (external auditory meatus), doesn’t do too much
What is a branchial?
BRAIN-Key-Al, what develops into gills in fish/amphibians
What is the vitelline duct?
VIT-EL-IN=yoke
What does DHNC stand for in the 5wk embryo?
Dorsal Hollow Nerve Chord-continuance of the developing brain
What does FP stand for in the 5 wk embryo?
Frontal Prominence-developing brain
FOUNDATIONAL: Does cartilage form into bone?
NO. :)
What are the three MAIN developments from the 1st pharyngeal arch?
1)Mandible 2)Maxilla 3)MECKEL’s Cartilage
What structure in the 24day embryo will eventually become the opening of the oral cavity?
Stomodeum “STO-MO-DE-UM” another name for the buccopharyngeal membrane.
What is the named cartilage of the 1st pharyngeal arch? If you get this wrong, you deserve death. Which ear ossicles?
MECKEL’s cartilage (the mandible) “MECK-EL’s” The INCUS and the MALLEUS
What is the named cartilage of the 2nd arch? Which ear ossicle?
Reichert’s cartilage (hyoid/ear bones) “RY-Kurt’s” the STAPES
What are the 5 main bones derived from the 1st arch cartilage?
1)Maxilla 2)Mandible (Meckel’s) 3)Temporal 4)Malleus 5)Incus
What does the maxilla develop from?
a mesenchymal condensation in the 1st arch
What is the process of the development of the maxilla?
I.O. ==INTRAMEMBRANOUS OSSIFICATION-bone progressively replaces the embryonic connective tissue
How can mid face deficiency develop?
Injury to the suture or failure of the cranial base to lengthen behind the nasomaxilla (MAX grows OUT and DOWN from the skull
