Pattern formation

A

is the process by which cells in a developing embryo acquire identities that lead to a well ordered spatial pattern of cell activites

Q

Organ rudiment

A

Organ rudiment which is triggered by epithelial signal (induction) allowing morphogenesis and induction to take place over a specified amount of time.

Q

signalling gradients

A

gradient signal and only at the right points will it form the correct tissue; within a specific area theres a switch on of certain genes that will make that specific tissue

Q

A typical pharyngeal arch contains

A
  1. Aortic arch
  2. Artery (that arises from the trunk of the primordial heart)
  3. Cartilaginous rod (forms the skeleton of the arch)
  4. Muscular components that differentiates into the motor muscles of the head and neck
  5. Nerve that supplies the mucosa and muscles derived from the arch.
19
Q

Two bones formed by 1st arch

A

Incus and malleus

20
Q

Two ligaments formed by 1st arch

A

Sphenomandibular and ant. ligament of malleus

21
Q

Muscles, nerves and arteries 1st pharyngeal arch

A

Muscles: temporalis, masseter, pterygoids, mylohyoid and anterior body of digastric

Nerves: V (trigeminal)

Arteries: Maxillary and carotid

22
Q

Pouches vs clefts/grooves

A

The difference between the pharyngeal pouches and clefts is simple. The pouches resemble bulging sacs whereas the clefts are grooves in between the sacs.

23
Q

What separates the pharyngeal pouches from the pharyngeal grooves?

A

The endoderm of the pouches contacts the endoderm of the pharyngeal grooves, and together they form a double layered pharyngeal membrane.

24
Q

Pharyngeal pouch vs pharyngeal arch

A

Pharyngeal pouches form on the endodermal side between the arches, and pharyngeal grooves (or clefts) form from the lateral ectodermal surface of the neck region to separate the arches.

25
Q

Which pharyngeal pouch is different?

A

5th pouch, which is absent or rudimentary.

26
Q
A

A - External Auditory Meatus
B - Middle ear
C - Palatine tonsil
D - Inferior parathyroid gland
E - Thymus
F - Cervical sinus (remanant of 2nd-4th clefts)

27
Q
A

A - Hyoid operculum
B - Epicardial ridge

28
Q

What causes the disappearance of the 3rd and 4th arch?

A

Cells migrating down joining with cells migrating up from the epicardial ridge: forms the hyoid operculum.

29
Q

During the 4th and 5th weeks, what is the state of the clefts?

A

Only the first pair still present. Others have been obliterated by cervical sinus through neck development.

30
Q

Where do pharyngeal membranes appear?

A

in the floor of the pharyngeal grooves; these membranes form where the epithelia of the grooves and pouches approach each other.

31
Q

Pharyngeal membranes: only the endoderm of the pouches and ectoderm of the grooves are soon separated by…

A

mesenchyme

32
Q

Only the first pharyngeal membrane becomes…

A

Tympanic membrane, others obliterate

33
Q

Clinical scenarios: 2nd arch fails to grow down sufficiently over 2nd-4th clefts.

A

Branchial fistual/cyst (can be seen along the anterior border of SCM) - empty spaces due to improper formation of pharyngeal arches that fill with fluid and become cysts.

34
Q

Clinical scenarios: Failure of parathyroid tissue to migrate completely

A

Ectopic thymus or parathyroid tissue ( the patient may present with dyspnea, hoarseness, stridor, dysphagia and pain).

35
Q

Homeobox genes

A

play a crucial roles in specifying cell identity and positioning during embryonic development

36
Q

Which arch has the least homeobox gene expression?

A

The first pharyngeal arch

37
Q

38
Q

41
Q

Branchial arch summary: Skeletal derivatives (1)

A

Malleus, incus, sphenomandibular ligament, Meckel’s cartilage, tympanic ring

42
Q

1st pharyngeal groove gives rise to…

A

External ear, external auditory meatus.

43
Q

2nd-4th pharyngeal groove gives rise to…

A

Cervical sinus (temporary)
