Q

What happens during “fusion”?

A
  • “fusion” of prominences by elimaintion of furrow
  • proliferation of cells, pushing up of surrounding tissue causing the groove to become more progressively smoother or shallow until it completely smooths out
  • this merging is critical as without it, a deep depression or facial cleft would remain between what used to be the facial processes

29
Q

What does the groove between the lateral nasal prominence and the adjacent maxillary prominence form?

A

the naso-lacrimal groove, or the nasal optic furrow

30
Q

What happens to the medial nasal prominences by the end of the 6th week of development?

A

By end of 6th week the medial nasal prominence approximates towards the midline and will then join to form the primordial and the bridge in the septum of the nose

31
Q

What happens to the ectoderm at the floor of the naso-lacrimal groove during the 7th week of development?

A
  • during the 7th week the ectoderm at the floor of this groove invaginates into the underlying mesenchyme to form tubular structures called the naso-lacrimal ducts and sacs
  • the nasal-lacrimal duct is invested in bone during ossification of the maxilla and after birth it functions to drain excess tears from the eye into the nasal cavity
32
Q

What should we have by the end of 6 weeks of development?

A

formation of a basic nose structure but still got a gap between the medial nasal prominence and the maxillary arch

33
Q

What should happen by the end of week 7 of development?

A
  • the inferior tips of the medial nasal process expand laterally and inferiorly to join the intermaxillary process, to form the intermaxillary segment
  • this gives rise to true fusion
  • the intermaxillary process gives rise to the philtrum and then later the primary palate, and it will contain 4 incisor teeth
34
Q

When should the developing face be fairly recognisable as a normal human face?

A

by week 10

35
Q

When is the inter mandibular depression filled, and what by?

A

during week 4 and 5 by proliferating mesenchymal cells

36
Q

When does the oropharyngeal membrane rupture to form a broad slit of the embryonic mouth?

A

during week 5

37
Q

When is the mouth reduced to its final width?

A

weeks 7 and 8, as fusion of the lateral portions of the maxillary and mandibular swellings creates the cheeks

38
Q

What is caused if there is too little fusion when the mouth is being reduced to its final size?

A

macrostomia/large mouth

39
Q

What is caused if there is too much fusion when the mouth is being reduced to its final size?

A

microstomia/small mouth

40
Q

What happens for the mouth to be reduced to its final size?

A

fusion of the lateral portions of the maxillary and mandibular swellings creates the cheeks

41
Q

What part/s of the face does the frontonasal prominence contribute to?

A

forehead, bridge of nose

42
Q

What part/s of the face does the medial nasal prominence contribute to?

A

philtrum of the lip, crest and tip of nose

43
Q

What part/s of the face does the lateral nasal prominence contribute to?

A

alae of nose

44
Q

What part/s of the face does the maxillary prominence contribute to?

A

cheeks, lateral upper lip

45
Q

What part/s of the face does the mandibular prominence contribute to?

A

lower lip

46
Q

What do the streams of mesenchyme into the developing face during week 6 of development do?

A

push back and make sure proliferation goes on, and will form areas such as the secondary palate, septum of the nose etc as they migrate in

47
Q

When during development will we see the first signs of tooth development?

A

week 6

48
Q

What is the first sign of tooth development?

A

primary thickenings of epithelial band, this is where the tooth will start to develop

49
Q

When during development do the palatal shelves start to grow, nasal septum starts to grow down, and tongue is growing?

A

week 7

50
Q

When during development is the oro-nasal cavity being filled up with lots of tissue, the secondary palatal shelves starting to grow down, and the nasal septum starting to migrating and push downwards?

A

as week 7 progresses

51
Q

During week 7, what happens to the mesenchyme of the developing face?

A
  • starting to get condensation of this mesenchyme and differentiation of it - starts to form cartilage
  • mesenchymal cells differentiating into chondroblasts and start to have chondrogenic potential
  • cartilage of nose being formed
52
Q

What will the cartilage formed during week 7 be the primary support for?

A

the developing maxilla and will form the cartilages of the cranial base

53

A

6-7th week

54
Q

55
Q

During developing, when does ossification of the palate and nasal capsule occur?

A

8th week

56
Q

What are the 2 methods of osteogenesis?

A
  • intramembranous
  • endochondral
    (indistinguishable in mature bone)
57
Q

What is intramembranous ossification?

A
  • the formation of an osteoid within two dense connective tissue sheets, which eventually replaces the connective tissue
  • mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts from osteoid
58
Q

What are the steps of intramembranous ossification?

A
  • mesenchymal cells —> osteoblasts
  • osteoblasts deposit osteoid…
  • mineral deposited
  • osteoblasts trapped —> osteocytes
59
Q

What is endochondral ossification?

A

cells undergo a different lineage, start to grow round the side of the cartilage and deposit

60
Q

When does the maxilla’s primary centre of intramembranous ossification (for each half of the maxilla) appear?

A

around week 7

61
Q

Where is the maxilla’s primary centre of intramembranous ossification located?

A

at the termination of the infra-orbital nerve, just superior to the dental lamina of the primary maxillary canine tooth in each maxillary process

62
Q

Where are secondary ossification centres for the maxilla found?

A

at the zygomatic, the orbital nasal, nasopalatine, and intermaxillary
- appear and fuse rapidly

63
Q

What do the 2 intermaxillary ossification centres generate?

A

the alveolar ridge, the primary palate region

64
Q

What skeletal subunits can subsequent growth of the maxilla be divided into?

A

    • BMP, FGF, Shh, Wnt and endothelins

control proliferation, survival and apoptosis

70
