A

Viscerocranium

27
Q

Name the bones that make up the calvaria

A
  1. Frontal
  2. Parietal
  3. Parts of Occipital
  4. Temporal
  5. Sphenoid bones
28
Q

What are the two layers formed by condensed Mesechyme?

A
  1. Endomeninx (inner layer)

2. Ectomeninx (outer layer)

29
Q

What is the endomeninx?

A
  • Neural crest

- Gives rise to pia mater and arachnoid

30
Q

What is the ectomeninx?

A
  • Neural crest and paraxial mesoderm,

- gives rise to dura mater and the Calvaria/bone

31
Q

What part of the ectomeninx forms the calvaria bones?

A

The superficial portion

32
Q

What does the inner ectomeninx form?

A

Dura

33
Q

What does Desmo mean?

A

Membrane

34
Q

Define sutures

A

Mesenchymal gaps between bones of the calvaria, holds together the various bones of the skull

35
Q

Define fontanelles

A

Un-ossified suture between 2 or more skull bones

36
Q

Define Anencephaly

A
  • Calvaria Defect

- Failure of rostral neural tube to close (around week 4), lost of telencephalon)

37
Q

Define Craniosynostosis

A
  • Calvaria Defect
  • Premature fusion of the cranial vault sutures
  • Variable defects including deformities of calvaria and neurologic defects
38
Q

What bones make up the Cranial Base (chondrocranium)?

A
  1. Frontal
  2. Parietal
  3. parts of the occipital
  4. Temporal
  5. Sphenoid bones
39
Q

How does the chondrocranium form?

A

Ectomeninx in floor of brain forms cartilage in response to notochord and other epithelial signals, becomes chondrocranium and later undergoes endochondral ossification

40
Q

What is the embryological tissue that forms the nasal cavity?

A

The nasal capsule

41
Q

T/F All of the nasal capsule ossifies

A

FALSE, Septal cartilage

42
Q

How does the growth of nasal septal cartilage play a role in facial development?

A

Plays a role in downward/forward growth of midface

43
Q

What happens to the maxilla as the chondrocranium grows?

A

Maxilla and the rest of the facial skeleton get pushed down and forward

44
Q

Name the bones of the facial skeleton

A
  1. Nasal
  2. Lacrimal
  3. Maxilla
  4. Premaxilla
  5. Palatine
  6. Vomer
  7. Mandible
  8. Zygomatic
45
Q

Define the Maxilla Proper

A

Intramembranous ossification of mesenchyme, forms from maxillary prominence/process

46
Q

Define the premaxilla

A

Intramembranous ossification of mesenchyme, forms from frontonasal process, forms primary palate, fuses early with maxilla proper

47
Q

What are the secondary cartilages?

A
  • Zygomatic Process
  • Alveolar plate
  • Hard palate between palatine processes

**mostly these have fetal growth roles and then break down and go away. We don’t have them as adults

48
Q

Describe development and growth of the Maxilla

A
  • The maxilla forms and grows down and forward via both primary and secondary displacement from growth of the zygomatic and nasal septum cartilages
  • Ossification center is closely associated with the cartilage of the nasal capsule and zygomatic or malar cartilage
  • Ossification from the developing maxilla also spreads to the palatine process to form most of thee hard palate
  • Postnatally, thereis quite a lot of growth and expansion here, as the maxillary sinus develops
49
Q

How does 2ndary displacement contribute to maxillary development?

A

Secondary displacement at sutures pushes maxilla down, forward, and out

50
Q

How do the alveolar plates form?

A

From the forming maxilla and the junction of the palatal process.

**Alveolar plates house the tooth germs

51
Q

How does the mandible form?

A
  • Intramembranous ossification
  • Bone forms lateral to Meckel’s cartilage
  • Ossification spreads posteriorly to form body and ramus
52
Q

What type of cartilage is meckel’s cartilage?

A

Hyaline

53
Q

T/F the bone of the mandible forms from meckel’s cartilage

A

FALSE, It largely disappears and does not actually become the mandible proper

54
Q

What secondary cartilages form from Meckel’s cartilage?

A
  1. Conylar
  2. Coronoid
  3. Symphyseal
55
Q

Why is the condylar cartilage important?

A
  • It expands into a cone running long the ramus and ossifies through endochondral ossification
  • Condylar cartilage remains at the articular ends on the head
  • Important growth center for the ramus, driving intramembranous ossification, and then ossifies itself through endochondral ossification
56
Q

T/F the Mandible is both membarnous and endochondral in nature

A

TRUE, but the cartilage is not Meckel’s, it is secondary

57
Q

What happens to the coronoid cartilage?

A

It disappears before birth

58
Q

What happens to the symphyseal cartilages (2)?

A

Disappear in the first year after birth.

**They contribute transiently to the growth and development of the surrounding tissues

59
Q

Where does condyle cartilage function?

A

Both in articulation at TMJ and in growth
