Craniofacial Midterm Flashcards
Functions of Levator Palatine and Uvulus in Velar closure
Which muscles lift the velum during swallowing and non-nasal articulation
Levator and uvulus location
Uvulus is medial to levator muscles
Nasal septum composition
Nasal bone Perpendicular plate of Ethmoid bone Quadrangular septal cartilage Vomer Anterior nasal spine
Sagittal suture
Directly behind coronal suture, down the midline. Looks like an arrow.
Coronal suture
Fuses frontal bone, side to side on anterior aspect of skull
Labdoidal suture
Fuses occipital bone to parietal bones, laterally in posterior aspect of skull
Squamosal suture
holds temporal bones to parietal bones and occipital bones
Metopic suture
Not usually visible, issue in newborns, medial line in frontal bone
Fontanelle
Anterior junction of coronal, Saggital and metopic sutures, hole in skull
Posterior structure
juction of lambdoid and sagittal sutures
Columella
Separates nares
Vermillion
Colored part of lips
Philtrum
Channel between nose and lips
Bridge
nasal bone between eyes
ala
outer rim of nare.
Cupid’s bow
upper rim of upper lip
dorsum
upper ridge of nose, immediately inferior to bridge of nose
Philtral columns
ridges bordering philtrum
Maxilla
Forms the upper jaw- in two parts during gestation, fuse to one bone at 12 weeks 5 Processes: Zygomatic Frontal Alveolar Palatine Body
Nasal bone
Forms bridge of nose.
Sphenoid
Behind face, looks like a butterfly, boom of wings support soft palate
Palatine bone
L shaped bone on either side to form football goal
Attached to maxilla
Forms posterior 25% of hard palate
Comes to point to form posterior nasal spine (PNS)
Transverse suture joins palatine bone to maxilla
Vomer
Behind nose between eyes
Forms part of nasal septum
Nasal conchae
Formed in Ethmoid bone
covered in tissue that conditions air
PNS
Posterior Nasal Spine
Palatine bone
ANS
Anterior Nasal Spine
under columella in maxilla
Fusion
Tissues approach, regress and become one.
Cells multiply faster at the tips of structures and grow towards each other.
The places that touch, regress to more primitive states that allow cells to pass back and forth which causes fusion
Merging
Filling in without regression.
Sections of tissue begin to grow faster than others, form buds and grown into other structures (arms and legs)
Less complex than fusion
Facial structures of 6 week embryo
Eyes are at 160 degrees, palate just begins forming,
Stomodeum, primitive mouth
Branchial arches, nasal pits, frontonasal process, nasolateral process, nasomedial prominence, maxillary prominences
Primary palate formation
Begins formation at 6 weeks and finishes at 7 weeks
Secondary palate formation
Begins formation at 8 weeks, finishes at 10-12 weeks
C/C 1 stage and 2 stage closure of palate.
One stage done all at once between 10 and 24 months
Two stage: 1st stage is to close velum and leave hard palate open. 2 stage closes hard palate.
To avoid detrimental effects, 2nd stage needs to take place when 1 stage would have been completed.
LeFort I, II, III
I: Moves undersized maxilla forward.
II: Moves maxilla plus bridge of nose.
III: Moves maxilla, bridge of nose, orbits and cheekbones, rare
Language development and CLP
Incidence of language disorder is unknown but higher than general population.
No specific language disorder for children with CLP
