Embryo-Pharyngeal Arches Flashcards
Ecoderm germ layer contributions to pharyngeal arches
Ectoderm–> groove (external auditory meatus, cervical sinus)
Mesenchyme (NCC) and Mesoderm–> muscles, A, N
Endoderm–> pouch (organs)
Membrane: 1 cross-section encompassing all layers
Role of NCC in pharyngeal arches
form CT in head including dermis and smooth muscle of blood vessels
Types of mesoderm in pharyngeal arches
Paraxial: muscles except extra-ocular
Lateral plate: endothelium that lines blood vessels in face
Prechordal plate: extra-ocular muscles
When do the pharyngeal arches form?
Week 4
Cleft/Groove vs Membrane
cleft/groove: ectoderm surrounding the arch
membrane: basically a cross-section of an arch with a section of ectoderm and endoderm
Describe pharyngeal membranes and its derivative(s).
Membrane (ectoderm, middle arch, endoerm)
quickly infiltrated by mesenchyme (NCC)–> tympanic membrane
Derivative(s) of pharyngeal ectoderm
External acoustic meatus
grooves 2-4 are in cervical sinus–>closes off during development
common birth defects involve 2nd groove
Skeletal/cartilage derivatives of PA 1 mesoderm
Meckel's cartilage (degenerates--> placeholder for mandible) Malleus Incus Mandible Sphenomandibular L Anterior L of malleus
Skeletal/cartilage derivatives of PA 2 mesoderm
Reichert's cartilage (will degenerate and contribute to below) Stapes Styloid process of temporal bone Lesser cornu of hyoid Stylohyoid L
Skeletal/cartilage derivatives of PA 3 mesoderm
Greater cornu of hyoid
Skeletal/cartilage derivatives of PA 4 mesoderm
Laryngeal cartilage
Epiglottis
Skeletal/cartilage derivatives of PA 6 mesoderm
Laryngeal cartilage
PA 1 muscular derivatives
muscles of mastication (CN V3)
PA 2 muscular derivatives
muscles of facial expression (CN VII)
PA 3 muscular derivatives
Stylopharyngeus M (CN IX)
