Development of Orofacial Structures (fellow) Flashcards
The neurocranium is derived from what embryonic tissue?
What does give rise to?
Mesenchyme
bones of the bones that enclose the brain membrane and cartilaginous components
The viscerocranium is derived from what embryological tissue?
What does it give rise to?
Mesenchyme
Bones that comprise the facial skeleton, membrane and cartilaginous components
Describe intramembranous ossification
mesenchymal origin without cartilage
neurovascularization occurs
osteoblasts come in and deposit osteoid to form bone
if it’s membranous component, it undergoes intramembranous ossification
Describe endochondral ossification
pre-existing cartilaginous model (long bones)
primary ossification center in the diaphysis
chondrocytes hypertrophy and the matrix calcifies
if it’s a cartilage component, it undergoes endochondral ossification
What bones come from the cartilaginous parts of the neurocranium?
Occipital bone
body of sphenoid bone
ethmoid bone
petrous and mastoid parts of temporal bone
What forms from the membranous parts of the neurocranium?
Calvaria (frontal and parietal bones)
What bones come from the cartilaginous part of the viscerocranium?
neural crest cells give rise to bones and CT
PA1-malleus and incus
PA2-stapes, stylpoid process, lesser horn of hyoid
PA3-greater horn of hyoid
PA4-Laryngeal cartilage
What forms from the membranous part of the viscerocranium?
Maxillary Prominence
Maxilla
Zygomatic Bone
Sqaumous part of temporal bone
What is craniosynostosis and what are the types and features?
Premature fusion of cranial structures
- scaphocephaly: sagittal suture effected, long narrow wedge shape head, most common
- brachycephaly: coronal suture, tower like head
- plagiocephaly: one side of coronal suture, twisty and asymmetric head
- trigonocephaly: frontal suture
What are the derivatives of the frontal nasal prominence
forehead and apex of nose
What are the derivatives of the lateral nasal prominence?
alae of nose
What are the derivatives of the medial nasal prominence?
nasal septum
ethmoid bone
cribiform plate
What are the derivatives of the maxillary prominence?
upper cheek/upper lip
What are the derivatives of the mandibular prominence?
chin
lower lip
cheek
Describe the facial primordium
brain development drives rate/shape of head
5 facial primordia (2 max, 2 mand, 1 frontonasal)
Appear during wk 4 and surround stomodeum
separated from pharynx by oropharyngeal membrane
ruptures around day 24
What is the first part of the face to form?
Lower jaw and lip (from mandibular prominence)
oropharyngeal membrane disintegrates and the medial ends of the mandibular prominence merge
incomplete fusion results in chin dimple/cleft
Describe the growth of the maxillary prominences
grow medially and merge laterally with mandibular prominences
give rise to upper lip, maxilla, and secondary plate
primordial lips and cheeks are invaded by mesencyme from PA 2 to give rise to facial muscles
Describe the frontonasal prominence growth
surrounds ventrolateral part of forebrain
gives rise to forehead, rostral boundary of stomodeum and nose
What are nasal placodes?
- bilateral oval thickenings of surface ectoderm on the inferolateral portion of the frontonasal prominence
- proliferation causes horse-shoe shaped elevations, forming medial and lateral nasal prominences
- these elevations result in formation of nasal pits (become nostrils)
