9 - Head and Neck Development Flashcards
What are the two organizing centers in the head during development?
The rhombencephalic and prosencephalic organizing center.
These are important signaling centers for forming structures of the brain AND structures that form the face.
What does the prosencephalon send signals to form? What about the rhombencephalon?
PRos: upper third of face, mouth, and inner ear.
Rhom: lower 2/3 of the face and external part of the ear.
What are the olfactory placodes? Where are they located?
Thickening of the ectoderm.
Associated with the telecephalon, the foremost part of the brain.
What forms the frontonasal prominence?
Condensed mesenchyme which is cranial to the forebrain.
What are the pharyngeal arches? Which arch has subdivisions? What are pharyngeal grooves?
5 pairs of mesenchyme condensations, usually 3 of which are visible externally. Only the first arch has subdivisions.
Pharyngeal grooves are between the arches.
What are the pharyngeal pouches? What is located between these and the opposed structures?
Laterally extensions that oppose the pharyngeal grooves.
Interface between pouch and grooves is the pharyngeal membrane.
What are the two components of the 1st pharyngeal arches?
The maxillary prominence and the mandibular prominence.
How does the oral cavity develop? Where is it located?
It’s located ventral to the oropharyngeal membrane; lips and mouth grow out as a consequence of the growing of the 1st arch and frontal process.
What are the two regions that that pharyngeal arch mesenchyme is derived from?
Paraxial mesoderm becomes the head mesoderm and occipital somites.
Neural crest cells - majority of mesenchyme is derived from ectoderm from these cells.
What does the core of condensed mesenchyme become in the pharyngeal arches
? What about the loose mesenchyme?
Core of condensed mesenchyme becomes cartilage.
Loose mesenchyme becomes connective tissue.
From the pharyngeal arches, what becomes skeletal muscle? What is the vascular portion and what is the nervous component that they make up?
The head mesoderm.
Vascular component becomes the pharyngeal arch artery (aortic arch).
Nervous component because a cranial nerve.
What does the first pharyngeal arch develop into?
The maleus and incus, the ligament to the maleus, the sphenomandibular ligament (attaches to the lingula of the mandible and the sphenoid bone), and meckels cartilage (associated with the formation of the mandible).
What does the second pharyngeal arch develop into?
Stapes, styloid process, the ligament from the styloid process to the small horn of the hyoid, and the top half of the hyoid bone.
What do the third and fourth pharyngeal arch develop into?
3d: the lower part of the hyoid bone
4th: the laryngeal cartilages
The bones of the face form directly from _____ ______?
Loose mesenchyme, they do NOT have a cartilage intermediate.
