embryo devlopment of ear and eye Flashcards
what controls the function of the membranous labyrinth contents
-from otic vesicle (surface ectoderm)
Hair cells line the labyrinth and give function
1. ampulla- acceleration
2. macula’s- gravity
3. organ of corti-sound vibration
*damage to hair cells = deafness bc does not grow back
which part of the ear is first to form
inner ear
what is the embryo origin of the choroidal vessels? what A. do they come from ? fun?
- mesoderm
- ciliary A.s
- develope in 15th week, function to keep choroid vascular
the eye is an extension of the brain, what part of the brain gives rise to the eye
forebrain - prosencephalon (dicephalon branch)
what produces endolymph and perilymph? how do there concentrations compare?
endolymph
- made by stria vascularis in membranous labyrinth.
- high in K+ and protein, low in Na (like ICF)
perilymph
- made from perilymphatic duct inside the boney labyrinth that is patent to the subarachnoid space; or filtration of blood from perilympatic space
- content is high in Na, low in K and protein like CSF
innervation of the tympanic membrane
external : vagus and auriculotemporal n.
internal- glossophayrnheal N.
what is anotia? microtia? and how do they form ?
anotia= no ear
-no migration of neural crest cells from 1st and 2nd arches
microtia = malformed ear
-abnormal migration of neural crest cells from 1st and 2nd arches
embryo origin of the sclera (fibrous layer)
- neural crest (continuous of dura matter)
- forms stroma of cornea therefore why the cornea is neuroectoderm by stroma is NC
*dura is usually mesoderm but this is the exception
what is coloboma? how is it formed?
- incomplete ring of the iris
- incomplete fusion of the optic fissure to come together and form the bottom of the iris
- related to : genetics (autosomal dominant trait) and environmental factors
function of the spiral ligaments
hold the cochlea in place
describe the formation of the boney labyrinth
the otic placode becomes the otic vesicle which will become the cochlear duct (surface ectoderm). the mesoderm from the petrous part of the temporal bone will surround the cochlear duct and form vacuoles that will become the scala tympani and scala vestibuli (space filled with perilymph surrounding the membranous cochlear duct)
embryo origins of the tensor tympani and stapedius M. ? innervation of both?
tensor tympani = 1st arch mesoderm (V3 of CN 5)
stapedius = 2nd arch mesoderm (stapedius n. from CN 7)
describe the formation of the iris, ciliary body, and retina of the eye
at week 4 the neuroectoderm begins to fold and form the optic groove (sulcus) which forms inside the optic vesicle (connected to the brain via the optic stalk) with it an opening called the optic fissure allows hyaloid A. and V. passage. during invagination of the groove the optic cup begins to form. the optic cup has 2 layers, central intra-retinal layer, and 2 rims. the rims of the cup will become the iris and ciliary bodies. the inner layer will become the neural retina. the outer layer will be the pigmented retina. these layers fuse.
what are the layers of the cornea and their contents ?
- come from surface ectoderm
1. anterior lens epithelium (sub capsular layer) = cuboidal cells
2. primary lens fibers= tall columnar cells (from elongation and dissociation of nuclei to help increase transparency for light)
3. secondary lens fibers = cuboidal cells
how does the membranous labyrinth of the inner ear form
- surface ectoderm gives rise to the otic placode which will invaginate and form the otic sac at first and continue to form the otic vesicle which will become the membranous labyrinth (ducts in vestibulocochlear app)
- ventral part of the otic vesicle will become the saccule and give rise to cochlear duct, ductus reunions, macula of the saccule, and organ of corti (CD dependent on PAX 6)
- the dorsal side of the otic vesicle will give rise to the utricle (DLX 5 /6 dpdent) which will form the endolympatic duct/sac, semicircular canal/ ampulla (DLX 5/6 dpt) the lateral canal (OTX1 dep.) and the macula of the utricle
what is first arch syndrome
-malformation of the sound-conduction apparatus of middle and external ear (not internal) resulting in congenital deafness
(usually a genetic cause)
