EMBRYO: Face, Nose Flashcards
At Week ___, Facial Primordia is established
4
What are the 5 facial primordia
1 frontonasal prominence
2 maxillaary prominences
2 mandibular prominences
The 5 facial primordia develop where?
as bulging prominences around the stomodeum
Where is each facial primordia (week 4) in relation to th estomoedum?
frontonasal is rostral
maxillary is lateral
mandibular is caudal
Skeletal elements of the face are from ____
neural crest cells
Striated muscle, dermis, endothelium of blood vessels in the face develop from ____
paraxial mesoderm
of occipital somites to the tongue
What separates the primitive oral cavity from the development GI tract?
buccopharyngeal membrane/oral membran/oropharyngeal membrane
When does the buccopharyngeal membranedisintegrate?
Early week 5
During the EMBRYONIC PERIOD (weeks 4-8), what major developments occur in the face?
most facial structures develop during weeks 4-8
During FETAL PERIOD, what happens do the cranium?
What affect does this have on the eyes position/
cranium expands to accompany growing brain, causing eyes to shift anteriorly and medially
During FETAL PERIOD, what happens to the ears?
move superiorly
During FETAL PERIOD, what happens to the nose?
becomes more prominent
During FETAL PERIOD, what is the proportion of the face skeleton relative to the rest of the skull?
at first, facial skeleton appears small in comparison to the rest of skull
proportions become more normal when maxilla/mandible grow to allow space for teeth and once we acquire the paranasal sinuses
Nasal placodes appear at week __
4
The nasal placodes are 2 ______ thickenings within the ____ prominence
2 ectodermal thickenings within the frontonasal prominence
Surrounding ___ of the nasal placodes proliferates
mesenchyme
How do the medial and lateral nasal prominences form?
mesenchyme surrounding the nasal placodes proliferates, forming elevations
Mesenchyme surrounding nasal placodes proliferates and forms elevations. What are they
2 medial nasal prominences
2 lateral nasal prominences
Nasal pits can be seen at week __
5
Nasal pits deepen and expand in what direction
dorsally
what part of nasal placode sinks down into underlying mesenchyme creating a depression (forming the nasal pit)
epithelium
Why do nasal pits appear even more sunken in than they are?
because nasal pits begin to deepen simultaneously to the medial/lateral prominences forming
(week 5)
What significant facial developments occur month 2-3?
facial features are more pronounced
eyes move more mredially
ears more superiorly
FIRST OSSIFICATION CENTER OF THE SKULL
