Development of Orofacial Strucutes Flashcards
What is neurocranium derived from? What does it give rise to?
Mesenchyme, cartilaginous and membranous components
Bones that enclose the brain: frontal, parietal, occipital, petrous part of temporal
What is viscerocranium derived from? What does it give rise to?
Mesenchyme
Facial skeleton: nasal, lacrimal, zygomatic, maxilla, incisive, mandible, sphenoid, squamous part of temporal
What do the cartilaginous parts of neurocranium give rise to? Membranous parts?
Occipital bone, body of sphenoid, ethmoid bone, petrous and mastoid parts of temporal bone
Calvaria= frontal and parietal bones
What do the cartilaginous parts of viscerocranium give rise to? Membranous parts?
NCC –> bones and connective tissue
Maxillary prominence, squamous part of temporal, maxilla, zygomatic bone
What is scaphocephaly?
Premature fusion of sagittal suture
Long narrow wedge shaped cranium
What is brachycephaly?
Premature fusion of entire coronal suture
High tower like cranium
What is plagiocephaly?
Premature fusion of one side of coronal suture
Twisted and asymmetric
What is trigonocephaly?
premature fusion of frontal suture
What is derived from the frontal nasal prominence?
Forehead
Dorsum/apex of nose
Rostal boundary of stomodeum
What is derived from the lateral nasal prominence? What separates it from the maxillary prominence? When does it merge with the maxillary?
Alae of nose (nasal flaring)
nasolacrimal groove
End of week 6
What is derived from the medial nasal prominence? What regulates its growth?
Nasal septum
Ethmoid bone
Cribiform plate
PDGFRA, shifted towards midline with medial growth of maxillary prominence
What is derived from the maxillary prominence? What is the process?
Upper cheek
Upper Lip
Maxillary prominence grows medially and merges laterally with mandibular prominence
Invaded by mesenchyme from PA2 –> facial muscles
What is derived from the mandibular prominence? What is the process? What happens if there is incomplete fusion?
Chin
Lower lip
Cheek
Caused when oropharnygeal membrane disintegrates and medial ends of mandibular prominence merge
chin dimple.
When does the facial primordia appear? What is its structure?
week 4
Surrounds stomodeum= primitive oral cavity
Separated from primordial pharynx by oropharyngeal membrane which ruptures day 26
How are the medial and lateral prominences formed?
Nasal placodes (thickened surface ectoderm) on inferolateral portion of the frontonasal prominence proliferate causing horse shoe shaped elevations –> medial and lateral nasal prominences –> primordial nasal snares
How is the philtrum/intermaxillary segment formed?
Fusion of median nasal prominence and maxillary
Above midline of upper lip
What signaling molecule responsible for development of mandibular process?
BMP
How are nasal cavities formed?
Nasal placodes (ectoderm) depress and form nasal pits Mesenchyme from medial and lateral proinences induce pits to become deeper --> primordial nasal sacs which grow dorsally and ventrally to forebrain, separated by oronasal membrane which ruptures end of week 6
What is the primordial choanae?
Connection between nasopharynx and nasal cavity
What is the nasal conchae?
Superior middle and inferior turbinate
Can become inflamed with allergies (rhinitis)
