Q

how are cranial neural crest cells formed

A

derived from dorsal neural ectoderm

cells delaminate by epithelial mesenchymal transition and migrate rostrally over neural tube to form branchial arches

31
Q

structure of pharyngeal pouch derivatives at 5-6 weeks​

A

2nd arch begins to grow over others
2-4th clefts merge together
3rd and 4th pouches grow 2 processes

32
Q

structure of pharyngeal pouch derivatives at 6 weeks

A
2nd arch covers all pouches
2-4th clefts are now the cervical sinus
1st cleft = external auditory meatus
1st pouch = auditory tube
2nd pouch = palatine tonsil
3rd pouch = inferior parathyroid, thymus
4th pouch = superior parathyroud
33
Q

structure of pharyngeal pouch derivatives at 6-8th weeks

A

thyroid gland descends from foramen cecum
superior parathyroid descends onto thyroid from 4th pouch
inferior parathyroid descends further than superior to bottom of thyroid from 3rd pouch
thymus descends from 3rd pouch

34
Q

BC1 summary

A

36
Q

tympanic cavity + auditory tube

37
Q

38
Q

39
Q

40
Q

issues with the cervical sinus

A

potential for lateral fistulas and cysts

next to SCM muscle

41
Q

formation of thyroid

A

midline structure

gland descends from foramen cecum to sit in the ventral cervical region below the hyoid bone

42
Q

issues with thyroid formation

A

potential for midline cysts along path

43
Q

embryonic origin of the tongue

A

lateral swellings within BA1 and BA3 grow together
anterior 2/3 = BA1
posterior 1/3 = BA3
epiglottis = BA4-6
BA2 disappears and is not a part of the tongue

44
Q

general sensory innervation of the tongue

A

anterior 2/3: mandibular branch of V
posterior 1/3 = glossopharyngeal IX
extreme posterior / epiglottis = Xth nerve

45
Q

taste innervation of the tongue

A

anterior 2/3: chorda tympani (branch of VII)
posterior 1/3 = glossopharyngeal IX
extreme posterior / epiglottis = Xth nerve

46
Q

intrinsic motor innervation of tongue

A

intrinsic musculature: hypoglossal (XII)

palatoglossus: Xth nerve

47
Q

epidemiology of cleft lip/palate

A

30% syndromic
70% non-syndromic (isolated)

Q

inheritance of cleft lip/palate

A

classic complex trait with genetic and environmental factors

40-60% concordance in MZ twins

51

A

cleft lip and palate (1 in 700)
congenital heart disease (1 in 200)
neural tube defects (1 in 1000)
preterm birth (1 in 8)

52
Q

initial development of the face

A

BA1 splits into maxillary and mandibular processes by 5th week
nasal pits form

53
Q

fusion of the facial prominences

A

lateral and medial nasal prominences form on the side of the nasal pits
maxillary prominence fuses with medial nasal prominence (this goes wrong in a cleft lip)

54
Q

frontonasal prominence structures

A

forehead
bridge of nose
medial and lateral nasal prominences

55
Q

maxillary prominence structures

A

cheeks

lateral portion of upper lip

56
Q

medial nasal prominence structures

A

philtrum of upper lip
crest
tip of nose

57
Q

lateral nasal prominence structures

A

alae of nose

58
Q

mandibular prominence structures

A

lower lip

59
Q

2 segments of the palate

A

primary palate- medial nasal process

secondary palate- inward extensions of maxillary process

60
Q

growth of palatine shelves

A
  1. initial vertical growth
  2. elevation of shelves above the tongue, tongue depresses
  3. inward growth and fusion of palatal shelves (forming secondary palate)
61
Q

pierre robin sequence

A

mandible most severely affected (micrognathia)
shortened jaw causes glossoptosis (posteriorly placed tongue) which causes formation of a cleft palate
