Q

Non-true fusion/merging

A

Process by which a groove between two facial processes is eliminated.

in between the groove the gap is essentially filled in by tissue proliferating upwards (in the valley) to ‘fuse’.

22
Q

Intermaxilary segment gives rise to…

Fairly recognisable human face by week…

A

24
Q

UPDATED: week 10

A

week ten, fully grown men

25
Q

Clinical scenario: too little fusion of the lateral portions of the maxillary and mandibular swellings.

A

Macrostomia (large mouth)

26
Q

Clinical scenario: too much fusion of the lateral portions of the maxillary and mandibular swellings.

A

Microstomia (small mouth)

27
Q

UPDATED: week 12

28
Q

UPDATED: week 16

A

week sixteen, we see the unseen

29
Q

Contributions to the face: Frontonasal

A

Forehead, bridge of nose

30
Q

Contributions to the face: medial nasal

A

Philtrum of the lip, crest and tip of nose

31
Q

Contributions to the face: Lateral nasal

A

alae of nose

32
Q

Contributions to the face: maxillary

A

Cheeks, lateral upper lip

33
Q

Contributions to the face: mandibular

A

lower lip

34
Q

First sign of tooth development: Primary epithelial band

A

Week 6

35
Q

What happens in the frontonasal prominence region when there is a condensation of mesenchyme?

A

Mesenchymal cells start to differentiate to form chondroblasts, and the cartilage of the nose begins to form here.

36
Q

Frontonasal cartilage

A

Supports the developments of the maxilla and will form the cartilages of the cranial base.

37
Q

Two methods of bone development

A
  1. Intramembranous
  2. Endochondral
38
Q

Intramembranous ossification

A

Formation of an osteoid within two dense connective tissue sheets which then replaces the connective tissue.

Mesenchymal cells differentiate into osteoblasts from osteoid.

39
Q

Endochondral ossification

A

Bone deposit is laid down on the outside of the cartilage

40
Q

Where are the primary ossification centres for the maxilla located?

A

It is located at the termination of the infraorbital nerve just superior to the dental lamina of the primary maxillary canine tooth, in each maxillary process.

41
Q

Where are the secondary ossification centres for the maxilla located?

A

found at the zygomatic, orbital-nasal, nasopalatine, and intermaxillary then appear and fuse rapidly.

42
Q

What week does the ossification centres for the maxilla appear?

A

Week 7

43
Q

What generates the primary palate region?

A

The two intermaxillary centres generate the alveolar ridge (primary palate region).

44
Q

Subsequent growth of the maxilla can be subdivided into several skeletal units

A
  1. Basal body unit
  2. Nasal unit
  3. Alveolar unit
  4. Pneumatic unit
45
Q

Growth of maxilla: basal body unit

A

Develops under the infraorbital nerve and responds to the eyeball growth.

46
Q

Growth of maxilla: Nasal unit

A

Depends on the nasal septal cartilage.

47
Q

Growth of maxilla: Alveolar unit

A

Responds to tooth growth in the maxilla.

48
Q

Growth of maxilla: Pneumatic unit

A

Reflects the maxillary sinus expansion.

49
Q

Development of the vomer bone

A

Develops in inferior aspect of the nasal septum.
Intramembranous

50
Q

Control of pattern formation

A

Retinoic acids, growth factors (BMP,FGF,Shh,Wnt & endothelins)

Controls proliferation, survival and apoptosis.
