Development of head and neck Flashcards
In week 4, what proportion of the embryo is made up of the future head and neck?
Half of it
What is the structure of the face of the embryo at week 4 of development?
No structure, completely undeveloped
What is the structure of the head and neck of the embryo in early development?
Frontonasal prominence in the head
Pharyngeal arches
Why is the frontonasal prominence named so?
At the front of the embryo
Where nose develops
Prominent because of developing brain behind it
How many pharyngeal arches are there in the embryo in early development?
5 of them
but are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 6
What is a pharyngeal arch made up of?
Mesenchymal proliferation
-mesoderm with some neural crest cells
Inner endoderm lining
Outer ectoderm lining
What does the mesenchyme in the pharyngeal arch develop into?
Cartilage bar
Muscle
Artery
What supplies a pharyngeal arch?
Each pharyngeal arch has its own blood supply
and is innervated by its own cranial nerve
Which pharyngeal arch is the biggest?
1st pharyngeal arch
How do the pharyngeal arches change in size?
Get smaller from the 1st pharyngeal arch to the 6th pharyngeal arch
How does the number of derivatives of the pharyngeal arches change? Why?
Fewer derivatives from the 1st pharyngeal arch to the 6th pharyngeal arch
because they get smaller
What are the parts of the 1st pharyngeal arch?
Maxillary zone
Mandibular zone
Which cranial nerves innervate the pharyngeal arches?
CNs 5, 7, 9, 10
Which cranial nerve innervates the 1st pharyngeal arch?
CN5 trigeminal nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
CN7 facial nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
CN9 glossopharyngeal nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the 4th pharyngeal arch?
CN10 vagus nerve
Which cranial nerve innervates the 6th pharyngeal arch?
CN10 vagus nerve
Which muscles does the 1st pharyngeal arch give rise to?
Muscles of mastication
Which muscles does the 2nd pharyngeal arch give rise to?
Muscles of facial expression
