Q

Palate development/cell sources/stages

A

• Starts at approximately 28 days.
• Secondary palate starts at 7-8th week and is completed by the end of 3rd month.
• Critical period of development is from the end of 6th week to beginning of 9th week.
• Formed by fusion of the primary and secondary palate.
• A globular process forms by fusion of the medial nasal processes.
o Gives rise to the intermaxillary segment.
o This then gives rise to the primary palate (plus the anterior teeth and the supporting structures).
• The secondary palate develops from lateral palatine shelves that originate from the medial growth of the maxillary processes into the oral cavity.

Q

Tongue development/cell sources

A

• The tongue develops from two sources:
o The body of the tongue from 1st arch in the floor of the mouth and is covered by ectoderm.
o The root of the tongue from arches 2, 3 and 4– in the floor of pharynx and is covered by endoderm.
o The sulcus terminalis and foramen cecum mark the division between these two portions.
Foramen cecum is the beginning of the thyroid gland

Q

Notochord

A

o Mesodermal derived cells at the anterior region form the notochord and migrate forward to the prochordal plate. The notochord will provide structural support “backbone” to the developing embryo

Q

Development of thyroid gland

A

• First appearance of this gland is during the third week of development as an invagination in the floor of the pharynx at the foramen caecum.
• Communication with the pharynx is developed by a duct that develops- the thyroglossal duct that allows the thyroid gland to migrate to the neck.
• This duct is generally obliterated at 6 weeks but remnants may persist and can develop into cysts.
o Sometimes it does not get obliterated. Creates clusters of epithelium and secretes and becomes a cyst.
Depression in the floor of the pharynx. Migrates down a channel of epithelium in the neck (thyroglossal duct).
• The gland becomes bilobed and the endoderm breaks down into cell clusters that will become follicles.
• Parafollicular cells join the gland from the 5th pouch.

Q

• Nasal placodes (ectodermal thickening)

A
-from frontonasal process
o	Deepen into pits (convexconcave)
	Are primordial of anterior nares and nasal cavities form original ectodermal thickening

o	Mesenchyme proliferates to form
	Median nasal process
	Lateral nasal process
•	Form alae of nose
o	Union of medial nasal prominence with the lateral nasal prominence and maxillary prominence is required for normal development of upper lip

Q

A

from nasal placodes from frontonasal process
• Merge with each other and the maxillary process
• Intermaxillary process (segment)
o Forms philtrum
o Premaxilla with 4 anterior teeth
o And anterior palate (median palatine process)
• Nasolacrimal groove forms at jct. of LNP and max. process
o Ectoderm thickens and forms epithelial cord on the floor of NLG
o Epithelial cord canalizedduct
o Cranial end expands into lacrimal sac
• Septum ethmoid and cribiform plate grows from these

Q

• Nasal choanae

A

o Oronasal membrane ruptures by end of 6th week forming communication between oral and nasal cavities primitive choanae
 If membrane doesn’t rupture, end up with bony obstructionchoanal atresia
 Most common nasal abnormality in newborns (1/7000)
 Females twice as likely
 More than half affected infants have other congenital problems
o Develop as elevation on lateral wall
o Specialized ectodermal epithelium (olfactory)
o Diverticula will develop sinuses
 Form wall of nasal cavityextend into bones
 Alters size and shape of face and lightens the bones
 Maxillary, ethmoid, sphenoid, frontal
 Drain into nasal cavity
