Craniofacial Growth & Development Flashcards
Organogenesis takes place during what weeks. What is this period?
week 3-8
Embryonic period (development of organs)
- critical time
Gastrulation goes from ___ layers to ___ layers. What are these layers & what develops from them?
2 to 3
Embryonic ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm
All structures in body develop from these 3 layers
Vesicles during weeks 4 & 5
Week 4
Prosencephalon (forebrain)
Mesencephalon (midbrain)
Rhombencephalon (hindbrain)
Week 5
Prosencephalon (forebrain) → Telencephalon & Diencephalon
Mesencephalon (midbrain) → Mesencephalon
Rhombencephalon (hindbrain) → Metencephalon & Mylencephalon
What neurological structures develop from the telencephalon, diencephalon, mesencephalon, metencephalon, & mylencephalon?
Telencephalon → Cerebrum
Diencephalon → eye cup, thalamus, hypothalamus, & epithalamus
Mesencephalon → Midbrain
Metencephalon → pons & cerebellum
Myelencephalon → medulla oblongata
Briefly describe ectoderm, mesoderm & endoderm
Ectoderm = think things on the outside, nervous tissue
Mesoderm = think everything in the middle, CT, bones, skeletal muscle
Endoderm = think gut
Dentin of the teeth is ___ derived. Enamel of teeth is ___ derived
Neural crest
Ectoderm
Endoderm is closely associated w/ structures in the ___
neck
Some neural crests can migrate to ___ & do what? Migration is determined by?
to face & do mesoderm like things even though they’re ectoderm
Basal cell lamina
Neuralation order
Neural groove → median hinge point (neural crests coming together) → neural tube
What are neural crest cell derivatives?
Pigment cells, schwann cell, satellite cell, unipolar & multipolar neuron, chromaffin cells, parasympathetic plexus, adrenal gland, sympathetic ganglion, dorsal root ganglion
Weeks 4-8 are characterized by ___ differentiation
Somite
- differentiates into structures like limbs
Craniofacial development occurs during ___ weeks. What are the 5 facial prominences?
5-8 weeks
frontonasal process, maxillary process (x2), & mandibular process (x2)
What’s a philtrum?
The pinching of 2 maxillary processes
Primary palate is formed at ___ weeks. When does it fuse?
5.5 weeks
Fuses 5-8 weeks
How does the secondary palate fuse? At ___ weeks the palatine shelves elevate rapidly. At 10 weeks what happens?
As heart grows, it pushes head up, so tongue drops down, & palates can meet & fuse
7.5 weeks
Full fusion of shelves
