Developmental Biology: Face, Jaws, Mouth Flashcards
What is the formation of the face stages?
Formation of the face
- 4th week:
- primitive stomodeum bounded by
- FNP, max. and mand. process
- nasal placodes, develop into nasal pits
- 5th week: nasal pit surrounded by lateral + medial nasal prominence
- 6th+7th week: Medial nasal prominences fuse together and fuse with maxillary processes
When does Ossification-bone formation happen for the mandible, maxilla and palate & nasal capsule
- 6-7th week - mandible
- 8th week - maxilla
- 8th week - palate and nasal capsule
What are the 2 methods of osteogenesis (bone development)?
2 methods of osteogenesis:
- Intramembranous
- Endochondral
What happens in Intramembranous ossification?
Intramembranous ossification
- Mesenchymal cells → osteoblasts
- Osteoblasts deposit osteoid….
- Mineral deposited
- Osteoblasts trapped → osteocytes
What are the Five growth factors families implicated in the facial development?
BMP, FGF, Shh, Wnt and endothelins
What are the contributions to the face?
What is labelled?
What is Cartilage and how is it made?
- Strong, flexible and semi rigid supporting tissue
- Withstand compression forces and yet it can bend
- Made by chondroblasts and chondrocytes
- ECM rich 10% Aggrecan, 75% water and a mix of collagen fibres
What are the Three types of cartilage?
Hyaline, Fibrocartilage and Elastic cartilage
- Hyaline- most common has a glassy appearance
- Fibrocartilage- tendon insertions and intervertebral discs: reinforced with collagen bundles
- Elastic cartilage- external ear and epiglottis: flexible and resilienthas elastic fibres
What is Cartilage for?
- To form the supporting framework of some organs, such as the walls of airways (nose, trachea, larynx and bronchi), where it prevents collapse
- To form the articulating surface of bones
- To form the template for the growth and development of long bones and most of the rest of the foetal skeleton (where gradually replaced by bone)
What are the Cells of Cartilage?
Chondroblast and chondrocyte
