Development of Head, Neck and Oral Cavity Flashcards
Craniocaudal folding occurs ________
Ventrally
This is longitudinal.
Lateral folding is ___________.
Left and right sides of embryo folding ventrally towards midline, fuse and form a cylindrical embryo
This is what forms the body cavity!
Embryonic Folding is _______ and ________
Ventral Craniocaudally
Grows laterally and folds towards midline (transverse)
What folding of the embryo is responsible for the tube in tube structure of the embryo?
Lateral Folding
(Gut tube is inner and out wall is body tube)
Neurulation occurs _____________.
as lateral edges of neural plate fold dorsally to create the midline of the neural groove
Folded edges of neural plate meet and fuse at dorsal midline and groove is converted to tube
Originates from ectoderm
What induces the neural plate to form into a groove that eventually closes off to form the neural tube?
Sonic Hedgehog being released from NOTOCHORD
Neural crest cells develop from the __________.
ectoderm
What actually touches when the neural groove fuses?
The Neural crest cells.
Once the fusion takes place, the neural crest cells will migrate away from the closed tube
What can neural tubes do?
Form external parts of the heart
Pigment in Skin
Peripheral Nervous System
Ganglion form from ________.
Neural crest cells
Somites form from the _________ and are ___________
paraxial mesoderm and are epithelial balls of cells along the neural tube that make up the vertebrae, muscles of back and body, dermis of skin
The first parts of the neural tube to fuse are the _______ followed by the ________.
5th Somite pair
Cranial and Caudal ends
The conversion of the neural plate into a neural tube occurs on _________ at the __________.
Day 22
Count from Cervical region -the 5th somite
In an embryo, the “cervical” region where the 5th somite will fuse on Day ___ will look like it is in the MIDDLE of the embryo. Why is this?
Day 22
The caudal end grows SLOWER than the cranial end. As a result, the cervical region appears more in the middle until growth has got up.
Fusion of the neural tube proceeds ___________.
At Day 23, _____________ are still open to the amniotic cavity
Cranially and Caudally
Cranial and Caudal neuropores
At Day 23, the neural tube is exposed to ________ because __________.
What SHOULD remain in the neural tube after fusion is complete?
Amniotic Fluid because the cranial and caudal ends have not closed
Cerebrospinal fluid should remain
The cranial neuropore closes at Day ____.
The caudal neuropore closes at Day ______.
25
28
Day 22- Fusion Starts from 5th Somite
Day 23- Neuropores still open
If the cranial neuropore does not close, what happens?
Anencephaly
There is NO forebrain
What is annencephaly?
A condition resulting in the lack of a forebrain/brain due to the incomplete closure of the cranial neurpore.
What happens if the caudal neuropore doesn’t close?
Spina Bifida
Incomplete closure of the cranial neuropore can cause ___________
Incomplete closure of the caudal report can cause
_______.
Anencephaly
Spina Bifida
Describe spina bifida as it relates to bone.
A regular vertebra has 3 main processes
- Transverse
- Process B (Dont need to know)
- Spinous Process
The spinous process is formed during fusion. Failure of the caudal neuropore to close does not allow opposing sides of bone around neural tube to close
Hence the name “split spine”
What is spina bifida occulta? What are signs of it?
It is spina bifida hid under skin!
Small patch of hair or discoloration around the area
How is Anencephaly caused by the incomplete ________?
What is a preventative measure for it?
closer of neural tube
The neural tube is exposed to amniotic fluid during development which causes necrosis of neural tissue within.
Folic Acid
Folic Acid is important to _____________.
Decrease the incidence of neural tube defects during development
What is fortification?
A process by which , in this case, folic acid was added to cereal. Over time, neural tube defects decreased.
What are pharyngeal arches?
At Week 4, there will be 3 pharyngeal arches on either side of the embryo.
At Week 5 there will be 4.
The pharyngeal arches will come together to create the path around the developing pharynx.
What is a placode?
A thickening of ectoderm that will develop into one of our sensory organs.
Where is the nose placode located from the ventral view?
What about lens placode?
Nose Placode will appear as two indentations
Lens placode cannot be seen from ventral view because placodes are located extremely lateral on the side of the head.
When looking ventrally,
Under the frontonasal prominence is a _____________.
Where does this structure originate from and what will it eventually turn into?
Stomodeum
The stomodeum develops as the oropharyngeal cavity breaks down. It will eventually turn into the mouth.
The stomodeum turns into the ________.
Mouth
Endoderm derived structures include __________
Head and Neck Anatomy!
Trachea
Bronchi
Lungs
Pharynx
Thyroid Gland
Tympanic Cavity
Pharyngotympanic Tube
Tonsils
Parathyroid Glands
Mesoderm derived structures include ___________.
MUSCLES of head- Paraxial
Connective Tissue - Paraxial
Connective tissue and muscle of viscera - Lateral
Ectoderm derived structures include ______________.
Surface
Skin
Anterior pituitary
Enamel of Teeth
Internal Ear
Lens of Eye
Neural Crest
Cranial and Sensory Ganglia and Nerves
Pharyngeal arch cartilage
Head mesenchyme and connective tissue
Neural Tube
Retina
Posterior Pituitary
The head and neck will arise from the _____________. What is it?
Mesenchyme
Embryonic connective tissue
Where does mesenchyme come from?
The anterior part of the skull also known as ____________ comes from the __________ produced by the ________. ________ also come from this same germ layer.
The posterior part of the skull also known as ____________ comes from the ______.
Ectoderm or Mesoderm.
Viscerocranium, Neural Crest Cells produced by the ectoderm. Placodes
Neurocranium comes from the paraxial mesoderm
Neural crest cells derived from the ectoderm travel into the _________.
A neural crest cell is basically a ________!
Each _________ travels to _____________.
Nerves: ___,____, ____,____
Arch: ____,_____,____,____
pharyngeal arches
cranial nerve
cranial nerve a specific pharyngeal arch
Nerves: 5,7,9,10
Arch: 1,2,3,4-6
Each pharyngeal arch has its own ___________.
- Cranial Nerve
- Blood Supply
- Cartilage
Describe the numbering of the pharyngeal arch from Cranial to Caudal.
Why is it numbered the way it is?
1
2
3
4-6
The aortic arch system develops from the pharyngeal arches.
The 5th arch is TRANSIENT or much much smaller than the other arches. As a result, sometimes it will disappear or never develop at all. The 4 and 6th aortic arches fuse together causing the 4-6 numbering.
What provides the pathway for the neural crest cells to leave the _______ and approach the _____?
hindbrain, pharyngeal arches for face development
Aortic Arch!
What is Digeorge Syndrome?
It is the failure of neural crest cells to migrate to their proper locations.
Neural crest cells are important for the development of the pharyngeal arches as well as the cardiac system and direct development of face and heart.
The cells not migrating to the right place can result in facial and cardiac deformities.
TEMPLE DOC
What are two other names for DiGeorge Syndrome?
Velocardiofacial Syndrome
Catch-22 : 22nd chromosome issue where microdeletion of a portion of it is often what direct neural crest cells.
What disease can be caused by a microdeletion of the 22nd chromosome?
DiGeorge Syndrome
Facial and Cardiac Abnormalities
What are the two major outflow channels of the heart?
Aorta
Pulmonary Trunk
What is the aortico-pulmonary septum?
It is the initial stages of the outflow channels of the heart where the neural crest cells build a wall between the aorta and pulmonary trunk forming a spiral pattern as they eventually divide
This pattern can be seen in our body!
What is the Transposition of the Great Arteries?
TGA is when neural crest cells reach the aortic arches and form the aortico-pulmonary septum, divide the pulmonary trunk and aorta BUT FAIL to create the spiral pattern
This means, deoxygenated blood can travel back to the HEART but it won’t oxygenate it and rather, pump it right back out to the body.
This also means that the side of the heart that just got oxygenated blood from the lungs will pump it right back into the lungs
- Deoxygenated blood into heart and right back out to body
- Oxygenated blood from lungs into heart and right back into lungs
BIG Picture: Oxygenated blood is sequestered to heart
Is there treatment for TGA?
Yes! Surgery, they will have to reroute your system to where the aorta is coming from left ventricle and pulmonary trunk is coming off right.
They can also poke a hole through the right and left atrium as a temporary fix to allow oxygenated blood into the right ventricle so it can be pushed out to the body.
