54
Q

Name a source of extrinsic force involved in palatal shelve elevation

A

Tongue - withdrawal of the tongue due to head lifting from cardiac plate; Meckel’s cartilage growth in the 1st pharyngeal arch and increased height of nasal cavity

55
Q

Describe the intrinsic shelf force w.r.t palatal shelve elevation

A
  • A turgor pressure is generated by hydration of the extracellular matrix by hyaluronan, a glycosaminoglycan (GAG).
  • Proliferation of mesenchymal cells result in shortening via contractile microfilaments produces the force
  • Partly directed by Type I collagen which provides strength and is very flexible
56
Q

Name 3 sources of palatal fusion problems

A
  1. Lack of matrix factors (lack of expression of HA by HA synthase 1/2/3)
  2. Failure to fuse (completely/incompletely) - cleft palate
  3. Epithelial remnants - epithelial cell rests/ cystic potential
57
Q

What allows the fusion of palatal shelves with just itself and not with other epithelial?

A

Specific sticky surface glycoprotein

58
Q

How does the midline disintegrate during fusion of the palatal shelves?

A

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition - switching of epithelial cells to mesenchymal

59
Q

What precedes the mandible?

A

Meckel’s cartilage

60
Q

What does Meckel’s cartilage precede?

A

Mandible

61
Q

What role does Meckel’s cartilage play in mandible formation?

A

What structure(s) does the posterior extremity of Meckel’s cartilage give?

A

Malleus of inner ear & Sphenomalleolar ligament

63
Q

Where is the position of the Meckel’s cartilage?

64
Q

Where is the primary ossification site of the mandible?

A

Between the incisive and mental nerve

65
Q

Is there a change in ossification type of mandible from primary to secondary cartilage sites?

A

Yes, from intramembranous ossification to endochondral ossification

66
Q

Name some growth factors involved in the formation of the mandible

A

TGFB (transforming growth factor-beta)
BMPs

67
Q

What forms where the mandibular bone envelopes the inferior alveolar nerve?
