Development of Orofacial Structures Flashcards
The cranium is derived from two parts, which are…
Neurocranium
Viscerocranium
The Neurocranium and Viscerocranium are developed from what embryological layer?
Mesenchyme
This part of the cranium gives rise to bones that enclose the brain (i.e., Parietal, Frontal, Occipital, etc.)
Neurocranium
This part of the cranium gives rise to bones that comprise the facial skeleton.
Viscerocranium
***This is pharyngeal arches
The Neuocranium and Viscerocranium have ___________ and __________ components.
Cartilaginous
Membranous
What makes up the cartilaginous parts of the Neurocranium?
Occipital bone
Body of sphenoid bone
Ethmoid bone
Petrous and Mastoid parts of the Temporal bone
What makes up the membranous parts of the Neurocranium?
Calvaria – this makes up the Frontal and Parietal bones
What makes up the cartilaginous parts of the Viscerocranium?
Neural Crest Cells give rise to bones and CT
What makes up the membranous parts of the Viscerocranium?
Maxillary Prominence
Squamous part of Temporal bone
Maxilla
Zygomatic bone
This is the term for the premature fusion of cranial sutures.
Craniosynostosis
This is a type of Craniosynostosis where the Sagittal Suture fuses prematurely. Patient has a long, narrow, wedge-shaped cranium. It is the most common.
Scaphocephaly
This is a type of Craniosynostosis where the entire coronal suture fuses prematurely. Patient has a high, tower-like cranium.
Brachycephaly
This is a type of Craniosynostosis where one side of the coronal suture fuses prematurely. The cranium is twisted and asymmetric.
Plagiocephaly
This is a type of Craniosynostosis where the frontal (metopic) suture fuses prematurely.
Trigonocephaly
This external orofacial structure will form the forehead and dorsum/apex of the nose.
Frontal Nasal Prominence
This external orofacial structure will form the alae of the nose.
Lateral Nasal Prominence
This external orofacial structure will form the nasal septum, ethmoid bone, and cribriform plate.
Medial Nasal Prominence
This external orofacial structure will form the upper cheek and upper lip.
Maxillary Prominence
This external orofacial structure will form the chin, lower lip, and cheek.
Mandibular Prominence
Brain development drives the shape/rate of growth of the head. During week 4, the 5 Facial Primordia will appear. These are…
2 Maxillary Prominences
2 Mandibular Prominences
1 Frontonasal Prominence
The 5 Facial Primordia surround this in the center. It is the primitive oral cavity.
Stomodeum
The Facial Primordia are separated from the primordial pharynx by the _________ _________. This ruptures around day 26.
Oropharyngeal Membrane
These are the first parts of the face to form.
Lower jaw and lips
The medial ends of these prominences fuse first. The Oropharyngeal Membrane disintegrates after this.
Mandibular Prominences
If there is incomplete fusion of the Mandibular Prominences, what results?
Chin dimple
These prominences give rise to the upper lip, maxilla, and secondary palate. They grow medially and merge laterally with the Mandibular Prominences.
Maxillary Prominences
Primordial lips and cheeks (Maxillary Prominences) are invaded by mesenchyme from Pharyngeal Arch ______. This gives rise to the facial muscles.
2
This surrounds the ventrolateral part of the forebrain, and it gives rise to the forehead, rostral boundary of the stomodeum, and nose via nasal placodes.
Frontonasal Prominence
These are bilateral thickenings of surface ectoderm on the inferolateral portions of the Frontonasal Prominence.
Nasal Placodes
Nasal Placodes proliferate and cause horse-shoe shaped elevations, which are called…
Medial Nasal Prominence
Lateral Nasal Prominence
Nasal Placodes elevation results in formation of _______ _______ which are the primordial nares.
Nasal Pits
The Medial Nasal Prominences shift towards the midline with the medial growth of the _________ prominences. The fusion of the Medial Nasal Prominences results in formation of an intermaxillary segment called the __________.
Maxillary
Philtrum
The Lateral Nasal Prominences are initially separated from the Maxillary Prominences by the _________ _________. By the end of week 6, it has merged with the Maxillary Prominence.
Nasolacrimal Groove
In ear development, there are six ________ ________ that form around the first pharyngeal arch.
Auricular Hillocks
Development of the mandible pushes the ears where?
From the neck to the side of the head at eye level
While on your NICU rotation, you are called to the delivery room to evaluate a newborn who is in respiratory distress. Upon arriving to the delivery room, you notice that the baby is using accessory muscles in order to breathe. In addition, you notice that the baby demonstrates nasal flaring. From which structure did the flaring part of the baby’s nose develop?
Lateral Nasal Prominence
Which signaling molecule is responsible for development of both mandibular processes and removing webbing from the hands/feet?
BMP
T/F. Facial development occurs slowing during the fetal period, but rather there are changes in proportion and relative positions of the facial components.
