17
Q
  • bilateral thickenings of the surface ectoderm that primordia of the nasal epithelium

nasal placodes (NP)

18
Q

19
Q

A
  • nasal sac will form the nasal cavity
  • closely related structures: medial nasal prominence, lateral nasal prominence, nasal pit, naris (nostril)
20
Q

What results in the medial nasal prominences movement toward the midline?

A

when maxillary prominences grow medially toward each other

21
Q

What cleft separates the lateral nasal prominence from the maxillary prominence?

What process establishes continuity between side of the nose and cheek region?

A
  • LNP separated from MXP by the nasolacrimal groove
  • by end of the 6th week, each MXP merges w/ the LNP at the nasolacrimal groove which establishes continuity between the side of the nose (from LNP) and cheek region (from MXP)
22
Q

When do the medial nasal prominences (MNP) merge w/ the maxillary and lateral prominences?

What does this result in?

A
  • merge between 7-10th weeks
  • results in continuity of the upper jaw and lip, and separation of nasal pits from stomodeum
23
Q
  • as the MNPs merge, this forms
  • premaxillary part of the maxilla
  • primary palate

A

intermaxillary segment

24
Q

  • merge laterally w/ mandibular prominences
  • mesenchyme/mesoderm in PA2: forms _____ muscles, innervated by __ ___ #smileandsaycheese
  • mesenchyme/mesoderm in PA1: forms muscles of ________, innervated by ___ __ #chewonthat
A
  • most of the upper lip, maxilla, and secondary palate form from maxillary prominences
  • merge laterally w/ mandibular prominences
  • mesenchyme/mesoderm in PA2: forms facial muscles, innervated by CN VII #smileandsaycheese
  • mesenchyme/mesoderm in PA1: forms muscles of mastication, innervated by CN V #chewonthat
25
Describe the development of nasal cavities:
- as the face develops, surface depressions form on the FNP, **nasal placodes** - will deepen due to proliferation of facial mesenchyme - **placodes \> nasal pits \> primordial nasal sacs** - sacs grow dorsally and ventral to the developing forebrain - separated from the oral cavity by **oronasal membrane** - ruptures end of 6th week, connecting the cavities
26
Describe the formation of the primary plate:
- develops from primary and secondary palates in two stages - begins 6th week \> completed by 12th week - critical period: end of 6th week \> beginning of 9th week - merging of the MNP forms the **median palatine process,** aka **primary plate** (wedge-shaped mass of mesenchyme, between **maxillary prominences**, forms **premaxillary part of the maxilla**
27
Describe the formation of the secondary palate:
- develops early in 6th week from **lateral palatine processes**, arises from mesenchyme of MXP 1. palatine processes extend inferiorly on each side of the tongue 2. mandible elongates \> pulls tongue forward and down in the mouth 3. palatine processes 'flip' horizontally above the tongue (7-8 weeks)
28
Describe the formation of the final plate:
- completion of the fusion of primary and secondary palates - bone gradually develops in the primary palates, forming the **premaxillary part of maxilla**, which houses incisors - bone extends from maxillae and palatine bones into lateral palatine processes to form **hard palate** (posterior portions do not ossify \> extend posteriorly and fuse \> form **soft palate (and uvula)**; **palatine raphe** indicates the line of fusion) - **nasopalatine canal** persists in the median plane, represented in the adult hard palate by the **incisive fossa**
29
- cleft extends through upper lip - often into the nose and/or maxilla - lack of fusion between maxillary prominences and median nasal prominences
cleft lip
30
- clefts of secondary palate to incisive fossa - may involve uvula and/or hard and soft palates - lack of fusion between: lateral palatine processes w/ nasal septum, lateral palatine processes w/ median palatine process
cleft palate
31
Describe the development of the nasal septum:
- 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)
32
Describe the process of tongue development:
- **median lingual swelling** (median tongue bud) appears at the end of 4th week: 1st indication of tongue development, triangular elevation in floor of primordial pharynx - two **lateral lingual swellings** (distal tongue buds) develop on each side of the median lingual swelling: rapidly proliferate, merge, and overgrow median lingual swelling - all tongue buds result from proliferation of mesenchyme in ventromedial parts of PA1 - merged lateral lingual swellings from the **oral part**, anterior 2/3 of the tongue - formation of the **pharyngeal part** of the tongue: ventromedial parts of PA2 fuse, forming the **copula**; ventromedial parts of PA3 and PA4 develop the **hypopharyngeal eminence** - hypopharyngeal eminence overgrows the copula, forming the posterior 1/3 of the tongue - line of fusion of anterior and posterior parts = **terminal sulcus** - tongue musculature is derived from myoblasts of occipital myotomes, accompanied by CN XII to innervate the tongue
33
- tongue abnormality - incomplete fusion of lateral lingual swellings results in a bifid tongue
glossoschissis
34
- tongue abnormality - frenulum is short and extends to the tip of the tongue
ankyloglossia
35
- tongue abnormality - excessively large tongue caused by generalized hypertrophy, often seen in infants with Down syndrome

36
- tongue abnormality - abnormally small tongue (rare) and usually a/w micrognathia
