Development of Orofacial structures Flashcards
What are the 2 categories of bones in the brain?
Neurocranium and Viscerocranium (facial bones)
What cell type produces the neurocranium and viscerocranium?
Mesenchyme (from NCC)
What are the 2 types of bone formation?
Intramembranous ossificiation (from mesenchyme) and Endochondral ossification (from cartilage)
What bones in the neurocranium are formed via endochondral ossification?
Occipital bone, body of sphenoid, ethmoid and parts of the temporal bone
What bones in the neurocranium are formed via intramembranous ossification?
Frontal and parietal bones
Frontal bone + parietal bones =
Calvaria
What connects bones in the neurocranium that are formed via intramembranous ossification?
SUTURES
What bones in the viscerocranium are formed from endochondral ossification?
PA bones – malleus, incus, stapes, styloid process, lesser and greater horns of hyoid
What bones in viscerocranium are formed from intramembranous ossification?
Within maxillary prominence: Squamous part of temporal, maxilla and zygomatic bones
Within mandibular prominence: mandible
What bones formed from mesenchyme in the viscerocranium becomes part of neurocranium?
Squamous part of temporal bone
Bones in babies skulls join too early; as the brain grows the skull deforms to allow growth in certain areas not fused
Craniosynostosis
What are the types of craniosynostosis?
Scaphocephaly, brachycephaly, plagiocephaly, trigonocephaly
Scaphocephaly
Premature closure of sagittal suture = skull to be long, narrow
Brachycephaly
Premature closure of coronal suture = high, tower like skull
Plagiocephaly
Premature closure of coronal or lambdoid sutures on one side = skull is twisted and asymmetric
Trigonocephaly
Premature closure of metopic (frontal) suture = frontal and occipital bones are malformed
What are the facial primordia and when do they appear?
Frontonasal prominence, 2 maxillary prominences and 2 mandibular prominences that appear during 4th week
Where do the maxillary and mandibular prominences come from?
PA 1
What separates the prominences from the cavity of primordial pharynx?
Oropharyngeal membrane
When does the oropharyngeal membrane rupture?
Day 26
Where do the facial primordia arise?
Around the stomodeum (opening of mouth)
What facial primordia grows first and where are they growing?
Mandibular prominence (MDP), all grow toward midline and towards each other
