Q 
During the 4'h week of embryonic development the tongue appears in the
form oftwo lateral lingual swellings and one medial swelling, the so-called:
• fo ramen cecum
• sulcus terminalis
• tubercu lum impar
• epiglottic swelling

tuberculum impar

4th week:
tongue = two lateral swellings and one nedial swelling (tuberculum impar)

all from 1st arch

second median swelling = copula, from 2-3-4 arches

lateral swellings merge –> anterior 2/3 of tongue
posterior 1/3 - 2-4 arches
extreme posterior = 4th arch

V-shaped terminal sulcus
foramen cecum - remnant of thyroglossal duct, apex of sulcus

stomodeum - primitive mouth

branchial arch: core mesenchyme
externally - clefts, internally - pouches

bifid tongue - no fusion of lateral swellings

most tongue mm. - hypoglossal n. (XII) except palatoglossus which is X

6-8 wks salivary begin to develop
parotid develops first, from ectoderm
sublingual and submandibular - from endoderm

median swellings: tuberculum impar (–> body of tongue)
copula –> baase of tongue
epiglottic swelling

The arterial blood supply of the adrenal glands comes from 3 sources, with
branches arising from the inferior phrenic artery, the renal artery, and the
aorta.
Venous drainage flows directly into the inferior vena cava on the right side
and into the left renal vein on the left side.

A 14-year-old female patient presents to the physician with hyperpigmented
lesions (cafe-au-fait spots), hamartomas of the iris (Lisch nodules), and
axillary freckling (Crowe’s sign). The patient had previously been diagnosed
with neurofibromatosis, but is now complaining of generalized pain and
tingling. The physician discovers multiple neurilemmomas, classifying the
disease as a form of neurofibromatosis. Neurilemmomas are a neoplasm of
myelin producing cells in the peripheral nervous system known as?
• astrocyte
• oligodendrocyte
• schwann cell
• microglial cell
• satellite cell

At the gymnastics center, a 22-year-old male doing flips on the trampoline
lands incorrectly on his ankle and dislocates it. In the emergency room, the
physician provides traction to correctly relocate the ankle. The patient is told

257
Q

In contrast to tight and adherens junctions, gap junctions do NOT seal
membranes together, nor do they restrict the passage of material between
membranes.
Gap junctions allow electrical and metabolic coupling among cells so that
signals initiated in one cell can readily propagate to neighboring cells.
