Q

What is intramembranous ossification?

A

Mesenchyme produces osseous tissue w/o cartilage formation
Mesenchyme condenses and becomes highly vascular
Differentiate into osteoblasts and deposit osteoid -> bone
Osteoblasts become trapped and form osteocytes

Q

What do the mandibular prominences (MDP) form?

A

Caudal boundary of stomodeum

Midbrain and hindbrain NCC

24
Q

Which parts of the face are the first parts to form?

A

Lower jaw and lower lip
Occurs after the oropharyngeal membrane disintegrates
Involves extension and fusion of mandibular prominences toward/at the midline

25
Q

What occurs by the end of week 4?

A

Nasal placodes form on inferolateral parts of the FNP

Bilateral oval thickenings of the surface ectoderm that are primordia of the nasal epithelium

26
Q

What occurs when the nasal placodal edges proliferate?

A

They produce medial and lateral nasal prominences
Leave the nasal placodes to lie in depressions known as nasal pits
Pits will form the nostrils and nasal cavities
Lateral nasal prominences form the alae (sides) of the nose

27
Q

The maxillary prominences grow medially toward each other and the median nasal prominences which results in what?

A

Movement of the medial nasal prominences (MNP) toward the midline

28
Q

What separates the lateral nasal prominence from the maxillary prominence?

A

A cleft known as the nasolacrimal groove
By end of 6th week each MXP merges with the LNP at nasolacrimal groove
Establishes continuity between the side of the nose (from LNP) and cheek region (MXP)

29
Q

When do the medial nasal prominences merge with maxillary and lateral prominences?

A

Between weeks 7-10

Results in continuity of the upper jaw and lip and separation of nasal pits from stomodeum

30
Q

As the MNPs merge what forms?

A

The intermaxillary segment
Permaxillary part of maxilla
Primary palate
Core of philtrum of upper lip while surface/skin of lip is from MXP

31
Q

What does most of the upper lip, maxilla and secondary palate form from?

A

Maxillary prominences

Merge laterally with mandibular prominences

32
Q

What does mesenchyme/mesoderm from PA2 form?

A

Facial muscles

Innervated by CN VII

33
Q

What does mesenchyme/mesoderm in PA1 form?

A

Muscles of mastication

Innervated by CN V

34
Q

Describe development of the nasal cavities

A

As the face develops surface depressions form on the FNP known as nasal placodes
Will deepen due to proliferation of facial mesenchyme
Placodes -> nasal pits -> primordial nasal sacs
Sacs grow dorsally and ventrally to the developing forebrain

35
Q

What separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity?

A

The oronasal membrane which ruptures at the end of the 6th week connecting the cavities

36
Q

What is palatogenesis?

A

Development of the palate from the primary and secondary palates in two stages
Begins during the 6th week and completed by 12th week

37
Q

When is the critical period for development of the palate?

A

End of 6th week to the beginning of the 9th week

38
Q

Describe the role merging of the MNP has during palatogenesis

A

Merging of MNP forms the median palatine process (primary palate)
Wedge shaped mass of mesenchyme
Between the maxillary prominences
Forms premaxillary part of the maxilla

39
Q

When does formation of the secondary palate occur?

A

Early in 6th week from lateral palatine processes

Arise from mesenchyme of MxP

40
Q

Describe formation of the secondary palate

A

Palatine processes extend inferiorly on each side of the tongue
Mandible elongates -> pulls tongue forward and down in the mouth
Palatine processes flip horizontally above the tongue (7-8th weeks)

41
Q

Describe formation of the final palate

A

Bone gradually develops in the primary palate forming the premaxillary part of the maxilla which houses the incisors
Bone extends from maxillae and palatine bones into lateral palatine processes to form the hard palate
Posterior portions do not ossify -> extend posteriorly and fuse -> form soft palate (and uvula)
Palatine raphe indicates the line of fusion

42
Q

The nasopalatine canal persists in the median plane and is represented in the adult hard palate as what?

A

The incisive fossa

43
Q

What is cleft lip?

A

Cleft extends through the upper lip
Often clefting of the nose and/or maxilla
Lack of fusion between maxillary prominences and median nasal prominences

44
Q

What is cleft palate?

A

Clefts of secondary palate to incisive fossa
May involve uvula and/or hard and soft palates
Lack of fusion between lateral palatine processes with nasal septum or lateral palatine processes with median palatine process

45
Q

Describe development of the nasal septum

A

Down growth from internal parts of merged medial nasal prominences
Fusion of nasal septum and palatine processes begins anteriorly (9th week) and is completed posteriorly (12th week)

46
Q

What is the medial lingual swelling (median tongue bud)?

A

Appears at the end of 4th week
1st indication of tongue development
Triangular elevation in floor of primordial pharynx

47
Q

What are the two lateral lingual swellings (distal tongue buds)?

A

Develop on each side of the median lingual swelling

Rapidly proliferate, merge and overgrow medial lingual swellings

48
Q

All tongue buds result from what?

A

Proliferation of mesenchyme in ventromedial parts of PA1

49
Q

Merged lateral lingual swellings form what?

A

The oral part of the tongue (anterior 2/3 of tongue)

50
Q

Describe formation of the pharyngeal part of the tongue

A

Ventromedial parts of PA2 fuse forming the copula
Ventromedial parts of PA3 and 4 develop the hypopharyngeal eminence
Hypopharyngeal eminence overgrows the copula forming the posterior 1/3 of the tongue

51
Q

Tongue musculature is derived from what?

A

Myoblasts of the occipital myotomes

Accompanied by CN XII to innervate the tongue

52
Q

What is the terminal sulcus?

A

Line of fusion of anterior and posterior parts of the tongue

53
Q

What are examples of tongue abnormalities?

A

Glossoschissis, ankyloglossia, macroglossia, and microglossia

54
Q

What is glossooschissis?

A

Incomplete fusion of the lateral lingual swellings resulting in a bifid tongue

55
Q

What is ankyloglossia?

A

Frenulum is short and extends to the tip of the tongue

56
Q

What is macroglossia?

A

Excessively large tongue caused by generalized hypertrophy
