Development of the Pharyngeal Arches Flashcards
Does the lips and midface or palate start to develop first in utero?
Lips and Midface
At four weeks of development, what does the human embryo head and neck resemble?
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.
The pharyngeal complex has three principle components. What are they?
> Pharyngeal Arch (skeletal, muscular, nerve, and artery components).
> Pharyngeal Clefts (external).
> Pharyngeal Pouches (internal).
What are the pharyngeal complexes crucial for the normal development of?
Neck and Face
From what type of cells does the bone and cartilage in each pharyngeal arch develop from?
neural-crest cells
Neural-crest derived mesenchyme from the first and second arches migrates into the developing face.
What do the muscles in each pharyngeal arch develop from?
mesoderm
What is the involvement of neural crest cells in craniofacial development?
> Neural crest cells form the facial skeleton.
> Coronal and sagittal sutures may contain neural crest cells.
> Anterior portion of the sphenoid and the frontal bones have now been confirmed to derive from neural crest cells.
From what does the posterior portions of the neurocranium and basicranium form?
Mesoderm
What are the skeletal elements of arch 1?
> 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.
What does the more posterior portion of Meckel’s cartilage differentiate into and become?
ossified into malleus and incus
What does the more anterior portion of Meckel’s cartilage serve as and form?
Serves as scaffolding for intramembranous bone formation of the mandible.
What forms in between the two middle ear bones and the mandible?
Sphenomandibular ligament forms, connecting the 1 arch skeletal elements.
What forms in the maxillary portion of 1 arch?
Maxilla, zygoma,, and part of the temporal bone from in the maxillary portion of 1 arch.
The developing face is represented by the frontonasal region and the maxillary/mandibular prominences. What are these structures derived from?
Derived from the 1st pharyngeal (branchial) arch.
True or False:
Although not generally included discussions of arch derivatives, we now know that the frontonasal region does come from the first arch.
True
What sensory ganglion supplies tissues derived from the first arch?
Trigeminal Ganglion
dorsal to the first arech is an elevation formed by the underlying trigeminal ganglion
Which pharyngeal arch forms the maxillary and mandibular prominence?
1st pharyngeal arch
At 24 days of development the stomodeum can be seen between the frontonasal prominence and the mandibular prominence. What does the stomodeum become?
Mouth
At the 5th week of development, can you see where the ala and midline of the face will be?
Yes
The union of which prominence’s from the 1st pharyngeal arch is required for normal development of the upper lip?
> nasomedial prominence
nasolateral prominence
maxillary prominence
What is the name of the segment where the two nasomedial prominence fuse together during development?
Intermaxillary Segment (premaxillae)
The fusion of what forms the nasolacrimal duct?
basolateral and maxillary prominence
The fusion of what forms the parotid duct?
maxillary prominence and mandibular prominence
True or False:
Muscles of the arches are neural-crest cell derived.
False - muscles of the arches are mesodermally-derived.
From which pharyngeal arch is muscles of mastication formed?
Arch 1
- temporalis
- masseter
- mylohyoid
- ant. belly of digastric
From which pharyngeal arch are muscles of facial expression formed?
Arch 2
- buccinator
- orbicularis oris
- post. belly of digastric
- platysma
- frontalis
- orbicularis oculi
- occipitalis
From which pharyngeal arch is the stylopharyngeus muscle (lifts pharynx as you swallow) formed?
Arch 3
From which pharyngeal arch is the levator veli palaini, pharyngeal muscles, and the intrinsic muscles of the larynx formed from?
Arch 4 and 6
What is unique about the digastric muscle in terms of which pharyngeal arch it is formed from?
Arch 1 - forms ant. belly of digastric m.
Arch 2 - forms post. belly of digastric m.
What are the motor nerve components of pharyngeal arch 1?
Trigeminal Nerve (CN V - mandibular divisions V3)
What are the motor nerve components of pharyngeal arch 2?
Facial Nerve (CN VII)
What are the motor nerve components of pharyngeal arch 3?
Glossopharyngeal Nerve (CN IX)
What are the motor nerve components of pharyngeal arch 4 and 6?
> Vagus Nerve (CN X)
- external laryngeal n.
- recurrent laryngeal n.
What is cheilogenesis (week 5)?
formation of nose
In the formation of the face, what structures are formed from the frontonasal prominence?
- forehead
- bridge of nose
- medial and lateral nasal prominence’s
In the formation of the face, what structures are formed from the maxillary prominence?
- cheeks
- lateral portion of upper lip
In the formation of the face, what structures are formed from the medial nasal prominence?
- philtrum of upper lip
- crest and tip of nose
