Q

At four weeks of development, what does the human embryo head and neck resemble?

A

Gill region of a fish.

Originally called the branchial (meaning gill) region, now called the pharyngeal region in that it surrounds the foregut where the structures that develop into the upper respiratory and proximal digestive systems are located.

Q

What are the skeletal elements of arch 1?

A

> Migrating neural crest in the 1 arch induce formation of cartilaginous rod (Meckel’s carilage).

> More posterior portion differentiates and becomes ossified into malleus and incus.

> More anterior portion of Meckel’s carilage serves a scaffolding for intramembranous bone formatoin of the mandible.

> Between the two middle ear bones and the mandible, the sphenomandibular ligament forms, connecting the 1 arch skeletal elements.

> In addition, maxilla, zygoma, and part of the temporal bone form in maxillary portion of 1 arch.

Q

True or False:

The thyroid gland is formed from pharyngeal pouches.

A

False - NOT derived from any of the pharyngeal pouches.

91
Q

What does the thyroid gland arise from?

A

From midline thyroid diverticulum that forms from the endoderm in the floor of the pharynx just caudal to the 1st pharyngeal arch; these endoderm cells differentiate into the follicular cells of the thyroid gland.

92
Q

Formation of the Thyroid Gland

A

> Arises from midline thyroid diverticulum.

> With differential growth of the embryo, the diverticulum elongates, but remains connected to the forming tongue by a thyroglossal duct that later is obliterated; the site of the opening of the thyroglossal duct is the foramen cecum found in the midline at the terminal sulcus of the tongue.

> The endodermal mass of cells invaginates into the underlying mesoderm, creating the thyroid diverticulum that is positioned between the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of developing tongue.

> The thyroid diverticulum grows inferiorly, often between the skeletal elements of the second and third pharyngeal arches.

> It then migrates to a position anterior to the upper portion of the developing trachea.

93
Q

What can anomalies in thyroid development result in?

A

Ectopic thyroid tissue and/or cysts present along the course of the thyroglossal duct, which is a midline structure.
