Development of Orofacial Structures Flashcards
1
Q
Describe the development of the cranium:
A
- develops from mesenchyme around developing brain
- neurocranium: bony case that encloses the brain
- viscerocranium: bones comprising facial skeleton
- two process (bone dependent): intramembranous ossification (mesenchyme produces osseous tissue w/o cartilage formation, endochondral ossification (bone formation occurs using a cartilaginous intermediate
2
Q
- mesenchyme produces osseous fissure w/o cartilage formation
- mesenchyme condenses and becomes highly vascular
- differentiate into osteoblasts and depost osteoid > bone
- osteoblasts become trapped > form osteocytes
A
intramembranous ossification
3
Q
- bone formation occurs in preexisting cartilaginous models (long bones)
- primary ossification centers appear in the diaphysis
- chondrocytes hypertrophy > matrix becomes calcified > cells die
A
endochondral ossification
4
Q
Describe the development of cartilaginous neurocranium:
A
- several cartilages fuse, forming base of cranium (endochrondral ossification)
- defined order: occipital bone (base) > body of sphenoid > ethmoid bone
- temporal bone (petrous and mastoid parts)
5
Q
Describe the development of membranous neurocranium:
A
- head mesenchyme at the sides and top of the brain
- will form calvaria (frontal and parietal bones) via intramembranous ossification
- interconnected via sutures
6
Q
Describe the development of cartilaginous viscerocranium:

Facial development depends on inductive interactions of forebrain, frontonasal region, and developing eye
13
Q

- separated from cavity of primordial pharynx by a bilaminar membrane, the oropharyngeal membrane (ruptures at ~26 days)
A
facial primordia
(5: maxillary prominences (2), mandibular prominences (2), frontonasal prominence (1))
14
Q

- frontal portion will form the forehead
- nasal portion forms rostral boundary of stomodeum and nose
- NCC from forebrain and midbrain
A
frontonasal prominence (FNP)
15
Q
What prominences does the PA1 split to form?
A
- maxillary prominences (MXP): form lateral boundaries of stomodeum (midbrain and hindbrain NCC)
- mandibular prominences (MDP): form caudal boundary of stomodeum (midbrain and hindbrain NCC)
16
Q
What are the first parts of the face to form?
A
lower jaw and lower lip
- oropharyngeal membrane disintegrates (essential for facial structures to form)
- extension and fusion of mandibular prominences toward/at the midline
17
Q
- bilateral thickenings of the surface ectoderm that primordia of the nasal epithelium
- by the end of the 4th week, these structures form on inferolateral parts of the FNP
- when their edges proliferate > produce medial (MNP) and lateral nasal prominences (LNP)
A
nasal placodes (NP)
18
Q
When the medial and lateral nasal prominences leave the nasal placodes, where do they go?
What structures do these give rise to?
A
- leave nasal placodes to lie in depressions, nasal pits
- pits form nostrils and nasal cavities, lateral nasal prominences form alae (side) of the nose
19
Q
What does the primitive nasal sac go on to form?
What structures are closely assocated with the nasal sac?
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
- ‘core’ of philtrum of upper lip, while surface of lip is from MXP
A
intermaxillary segment
24
Q
- most of the upper lip, maxilla, and secondary palate form from _______ _________

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
Q
Describe the development of nasal cavities:
A
- 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
Q
Describe the formation of the primary plate:
A
- 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
Q
Describe the formation of the secondary palate:
A
- 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)
29
Q
- cleft extends through upper lip
- often into the nose and/or maxilla
- lack of fusion between maxillary prominences and median nasal prominences
A
cleft lip
30
Q
- 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
A
cleft palate
31
Q
Describe the 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)
32
Q
Describe the process of tongue development:
A
- 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
Q
- tongue abnormality
- incomplete fusion of lateral lingual swellings results in a bifid tongue
A
glossoschissis
34
Q
- tongue abnormality
- frenulum is short and extends to the tip of the tongue
