B6.068 Prework 2: Bone Development and Axial Skeleton Flashcards
axial skeleton component
skull neck vertebral column ribs sternum
2 sections of the skull
neurocranium
viscerocranium
function of neurocranium
protects brain
- membranous part: flat bones, form vault and portion of base of skull
- cartilaginous part: sphenoid, ethmoid, base of occipital bones
function of viscerocranium
forms skeleton of face
- membranous part: largest component
- cartilaginous part: mandibular condyle
sources of head and neck structures
- paraxial mesoderm
- neural crest mesenchyme
- lateral plate mesoderm
head and neck structures formed by paraxial mesoderm
large portion of membranous and cartilaginous components of the neurocranium (skull)
head and neck structures formed by neural crest mesenchyme
face skeleton (viscerocranium) and cartilage parts of membranous and cartilaginous regions of neurocranium
head and neck structures formed by lateral plate mesoderm
laryngeal cartilages
formation of the neurocranium
flat, membranous bones are formed by mesenchyme via intramembranous ossification
needle like bone spicules radiate from primary ossification centers towards the periphery
how do neurocranium bones enlarge
bones enlarge by apposition of new layers on outer surface, and osteoclastic resorption og bone from inside
sutures
narrow seams of connective tissue
temporarily separate flat bones of skull
fontanelles
wide sutures at points where >2 bones meet
anterior fontanelle
where 2 frontal and 2 parietal bones meet - closes at 18 months of age
newborn skull during birth
sutures and fontanelles allow molding - the overlapping of skull bones
newborn skull after birth
membranous bones move back = relatively large and round skull
skull during childhood
sutures and fontanelles allow continued bone growth to accommodate growing brain
what forms the cartilaginous part of the neurocranium
prechordal chondrocranium
chordal chondrocranium
what forms the membranous part of the neurocranium
sutures and fontanelles
prechordal chondrocranium
lies in front of the cranial limit of the notochord
derived from neural crest cells
chordal chondrocranium
lies posterior to cranial limit of notochord
derived from occipital somite sclerotome (paraxial mesoderm)
how do chordal and prechordal chondrocranium connect
fuse and ossify by endochondral ossification
derivation of membranous viscerocranium
mesenchyme from neural crest
formed mainly from 1st two pharyngeal arches
1st arch dorsal (maxillary)
1st arch ventral (mandibular)
maxillary process
gives rise to maxilla, zygomatic bone, part of temporal bone
intramembranous ossification
mandibular process
Meckel cartilage
forms most of mandible (but not condyles)
intramembranous ossification
dorsal tip of mandibular process + 2nd arch
incus, malleus, stapes (middle ear)
what types of cells are vulnerable to teratogens?
neural crest cells
craniofacial birth defects are common for this reason
