Q

Why is it important to understand the development of the head?

A

Clinically very important (clinical tests) to know the functional anatomy of these nerves but in the adult they don’t appear to follow any sort of logic. Understanding dev = some form of logic restored

Q

What are the three types of embryological tissue?

A
  1. Ectoderm which gives rise to stuff on the outside (skin)

Q

Development of Coelomic Cavity in the trunk

A
  1. There is a belt of mesoderm on LHS and RHS with a gap in the middle
  2. Gap = CAVITATION = which goes on to form the body cavity of that part of the animal.
  3. Summary: in trunk, cavitation of mesoderm results in splanchnic and somatic lateral plate mesoderm enclosing a coelomic cavity

Q

Development of mesoderm in the Head. diff between this and in trunk

A

Q

A
  1. seven

Q

What does ectoderm form.
What is ectoderms function and innervation.
What is between each segment? and names

A

It forms outer epithelial covering (skin)
Function = somatic sensation
Innervation = somatic Afferents
1. GAPS
2. Outside gaps = clefts (think between donut)
3. inside = pouches (think within donut)
4. Side of each donut = pharyngeal arch

Q

What is interesting about the ectoderm at the front of the head?

A
  1. It invaginates inwards into segments 1 & 2

17
Q

What is stomodeal ectoderm

A
  1. An oral plate of tissue where stomodeal ectoderm meets pharyngeal endoderm 2. 2. Location: boundary between segments 2 and 3. This perforates
18
Q

What does endoderm form?

Where is sensation supplied from?

A
  1. Forms inner epithelial covering
  2. Sensation supplied via autonomic afferents - unconscious
  3. Motor function (sym and para) is supplied via autonomic efferents
19
Q

What is lateral Plate mesoderm

A
  1. gives rise to muscle structures (not from somites!) called special visceral muscle
  2. Under conscious control
  3. Innervated by special visceral efferents - only head
20
Q

What are three other componetns of the head

A
  1. Somites
  2. Segmental Arteries
  3. Neuraxis
21
Q

What do somites form in the head?

A
  1. Each segment has a pair of somites
  2. which form striated muscle of the eyeball and tongue
  3. innervated by somatic efferents
22
Q

Why sometimes we go looking for a nerve by there sin’t one?

A
  1. If a certain strucutre disappears completely
  2. Structures that form from these won’t form
  3. no need for a nerve to go to that absence structure
23
Q

What 3 things could happen to a structure?

A
  1. Obliteration
  2. Fail to develop further
  3. Migration (somite 6 and 7)
24
Q

What structures disappear?

A
  1. somites 4 &5
  2. Pharyngeal arch 5 and associated endo, ecto, lateral plate mesoderm, nerves and arterial arches
  3. Arterial arches 1 and 2
  4. Pharyngeal clefts/ pouches 5 and 6
  5. Ectoderm of segments 6 and 7
25
Q

Which structures fail to develop further

A
  1. Ectoderm of arch 2

2. Ectoderm of segments 3-5

26
Q

How does the tongue develop?

A
  1. Invagination of arch 1 = front of tongue is covered by ectoderm
  2. middle tongue derived from endoderm of arch 2 to develop = separation in tongue
  3. Back of T = lined by endoderm = arch 3
    Muscle = migration of somites 6 and 7
27
Q

What do the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles of the tongue do

A
  1. Intrinsic = within tongue

2. Extrinsic attach tongue to head

28
Q

How does the tongue develop?

A
  1. Invagination of arch 1 = front of tongue is covered by ectoderm
  2. middle tongue derived from endoderm of arch 2 to develop = separation in tongue
  3. Back of T = lined by endoderm = arch 3
    Muscle = migration of somites 6 and 7. Conscious control: somatic efferents
29
Q

Where does the Pituitary gland form from

A
  1. Pouch in arch 1
  2. invagination = ectoderm, forms anterior and intermediate pituitary
  3. Posterior pituitary develops fromm brain step
30
Q

Where deo the THyroid gladn develop from?

A
  1. Arch 2 endoderm
  2. Thyroid moved down
  3. Thyroglossal duct = foetal remnant of migration of T gladn from top of arch 2
