Development of the Pharyngeal Apparatus Flashcards
When do NCCs migrate into the future head and neck?
Early 4th week
What are the first pair of arches called?
Primordial jaws
What are rhombomeres (R1-7)?
Divisions of hindbrain that contribute NCC into tje pharyngeal arches.
Which rhombomeres contribute to which pharyngeal arches?
PA1 = R1-2 PA2 = R4 PA3/4 = R6/7
R3 and R5 don’t produce much NCC.
What layers are in a pharyngeal arch?
Inner endoderm.
Mesenchyme core.
Outer ectoderm.
1st arch gives rise to:
Maxillary and mandibular prominences
2nd arch does what?
Overgrows PA3/PA4 and forms cervical sinus (occurs in week 5, and disappears week 7).
What else does NCCs form?
CT, integument and smooth muscles.
What kind of mesoderm migrates into each arch?
Paraxial mesoderm
What are angioblasts from? What does it become?
From lateral plate mesoderm, and becomes endothelium.
Each arch has what components? (4)
Artery
Cartilaginous rod
Muscular component
Nerves
What do PA arteries arise from?
Truncus arteriosus
What is Meckel’s cartilage?
The cartilage of PA1.
What do dorsal parts of the Meckel’s cartilage become?
Dorsal parts break away and ossify to become malleus and incus.
What do the anterior ligament of the malleus and sphenomandibular L. come from?
Perichondrium of Meckel’s cartilage (PA1).
What does the ventral part of Meckel’s cartilage become?
The primordium of the mandible.
What is Riechert’s cartilage?
Cartilage of PA2.
What does the stapes come from?
Dorsal part of Riechert’s cartilage.
What does the ventral end of Riechert’s cartilage become?
Lesser horn of the hyoid bone
