Q

The second pharyngeal arch grows over and fuses with the third and four pharyngeal arches, leaving a temporary structure called what? and which was which clefts? ( if the arches do not fuse completely, what happens?

A
cervial sinus ( which was 2nd - 4th pharyngeal clefts)
if they dont fuse completely the cervical sinus can persist as an abnormal opening on the neck ( a CERVICAL OR BRANCHIAL FISTULA), OR develops into a CERVICAL CYST OR BRANCHIAL CLEFT CYST that presents as a neck mass. ( always lateral, anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscle, below the angle of the mandible, immobile and may occure on one or both sides.
47
Q

Where does the tongue mucosa develop from?

A

Q

What is the innervation of the tongue?

A

It correlates with its developmental origin. The first and second pharyngeal pouches form the anterior two-third, with arch 1 covering arch 2. Thus, sensation is via CN V3 and taste is via CNVII (facial). The third and fourth pouches form the mucosa of the posterior one-third; with taste and sensation mainly via CN 9 (glossopharyngeal), and the very posterior CN X (vagus)

58
Q

Two depressions form on the frontonasal process that form nasal pits and create what?

A

ridges of tissue called the medial and lateral nasal processes.

64
Q

What does the secondary palate form from?

A

fusion between two ridges of tissue (palatal shelves) growing from the oral surfaces of the maxillary processes (inside the mouth).

65
Q

What does the incisive foramen mark?

A

The junction between the primary and secondary palate (vessels and nerves pass through it).

66
Q

A

a potential facial or palatal cleft.

67
Q

What does a cleft lip result from?

Q

What does the optic cup develop into?

A

The neural retina and the pigmented epithelium of the retina.

73
Q

What forms the chordial or optic fissure

A

the ventral part of the optic stalk invaginates and the optic cup folds around the invagination to form the choroidal or optic fissure.

74
Q

As the lens matures what happens to the vessels serving it?

A

They degenerate and the hyaloid artery and vein become the central artery and vein of the retina.

75
Q

As the neural retina develops, how do axons of ganglion cells move?

A

they move along the surface of the retina toward and through the optic stalk to the brain, forming the optic nerve.

76
Q

What does the anterior rim of the optic cup develop into?

A

The iris of the eye, while the choroid, sclera, cornea and extraocular muscles form from mesenchyme surrounding the optic cup.

77
Q

What is the choroid?

A

The layer of blood vessels and connective tissue between the sclera and the retina. It is a continuation of the pia and arachnoid mater. The sclera is the white outer wall of the eye.

78
Q

Describe the sclera

A

It is a tough, fibrous tissue, which extends from the cornea (the clear front section of the eye) to the optic nerve at the back of the eye.

79
Q

What is the sclera a continuation of?

A

The dura mater.

80
Q

What do the eyelids develop as?

A

ectodermal folds with a mesenchymal core (from the first pharyngeal arch). They grow towards each other in front of the cornea and fuse by 8 weeks before reopening between the 5th and 7th months.

81
Q

What is a coloboma?

A

it results when the optic fissure fails to fuse, leaving a gap in eye structures. A complete coloboma extends throughout the entire eye (from optic nerve to iris), whereas coloboma of the iris is more localized.

82
Q

What can congenital cataracts result from?

A

Genetic or environmental factors. Genetic factors involve diverse genes ranging from structural components of the lens, such as mutations in CRYSTALLIN or gap junction proteins, to transcription factors.
Cataracts may also develop as a result of metabolic disorders such as galactosemia (defect in galactose metabolism) or from congenital infections such as rubella.

83
Q

What is a detached retina.

A

It can be congenital or from head trauma and is when the neural retina detaches from the pigmented retina.

84
Q

Where does the external ear develop from?

A

the external auditory meatus develops from the first pharyngeal cleft and the pinna or auricle develops from the ectoderm and the underlying mesenchyme surrounding the first cleft (first and second arches).

85
Q

What does the middle ear develop from?

A

the auditory ossicles (malleus, incus, and stapes) develop from the first and second pharyngeal arch and the tympanic cavity and auditory tube from the first pharyngeal pouch.

86
Q

What does the inner ear develop from?

A

the cochlea and vestibular appartatus (3 semicircular canals, utricle and saccule) develop from the ectoderm of the optic placode.

87
Q

What does the auricle develop from?

A

six auricular hillocks (proliferating ectoderm and underlying mesenchyme) on the first and second pharyngeal arches during the 5th week. The external auditory meatus develops from the first pharyngeal cleft.

88
Q

What do structural abnormalities of the external ear lead to?

A

conductive hearing loss as they impede conduction of sound to the inner ear.

89
Q

What do defects of the pinna or auricle result from?

A

abnormal growth of one or more of the auricular hillocks.

90
Q

What does supressed growth of all hillocks result in?

A

microtia (small auricle) or anotia (absence of the auricle).

overgrwoth of the hillocks results in macrotia (large auricle)

91
Q

What do accessory hilllocks produce?

A

preauricular tags, which may or may not be accompanied by preauricular pits.

92
Q

What do defects of the external auditory meatus include?

A

atresia and stenosis. From 20% to 40% of children with microtia/anotia have additional defects that could suggest a syndrome. For example microtia occurs in several single-gene disorders, including branchio-oto-renal (BOR), CHARGE, and Treacher Collins syndrome, as well as in tisomy 21 and 18.

93
Q

microtia occur following what?

A

following prenatal exposure to alcohol or isotretinoin. microtia and preauricular tags occur in oculoauriculo-vertebral spectrum (OAVS).

94
Q

What can occur with Fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of mental retardation in males.

A

microtia

95
Q

A

in the first and second pharyngeal arch mesenchyme, while the first pharyngeal pouch becomes the auditory tube and tympanic cavity.

96
Q

What does the tympanic cavity enclose?

A

The auditory ossicles

97
Q

What is the eardrum (tympanic membrane) derived from?

A

the opposed ectoderm and endoderm of the first pharyngeal cleft and pouch, called the first pharyngeal membrane.

98
Q

The ectodermal cells of the cleft proliferate to form what?

A

a meatal plus, which later thins out to establish the eardrum.

99
Q

What do defects of the middle ear cause?

A

conductive hearing loss and can result from abnormal formation of the malleus, incus, and stapes, derived from neural crest cells populating from the first and second pharyngeal arches.

100
Q

What do defects in conductive hearing loss occur in association with?

A

skeletal dysplasiaas, such as achondroplasia (FGFR3 mutation) and osteogenesis imperfecta, or in various syndromes such as BOR, Treacher Collins, or OAVS.

101
Q

What does the inner ear develop from?

A

A

the membranous labyrinth.

106
Q

What can sensorineural hearing loss arise from?

A

defects in the inner ear, vestibulocochlear nerve (cranial nerve 8), or auditory regions of the brain. About half of all hearing loss (both conductive and sensoineural) has genetic causes, with the other half attributed to environmental factors, including in utero viral infections and neonatal exposure to aminoglycoside antibiotics.
Postnatal exposure to loud noise can also result in hearing loss.
