21
Q

Remnant of notochord in adult

A

Nucleus pulposis of intervertebral disk

22
Q

Part of somites that forms vertebral column

A

Sclerotome

23
Q

Division of alar and basal lamina/plates

A

Sulcus limitans

24
Q

Cell type that forms neural tube

A

Neuroepithelial cells

25
Q

Zones of neural tube

A
  1. Ventricular - ependymal cells
  2. Intermediate/ mantle - grey matter
  3. Marginal - white matter
26
Q

Three primary brain vesicles

A

Prosencephalon
Mesencephalon
Rhombencephalon

27
Q

Rhombencephalon forms

A
  1. Metencephalon (pons and cerebellum)

2. Myelencephalon (medulla)

28
Q

Divisions of occipital somites

A

Pre otic
Pre orbital
Pre occipital

29
Q

What is formed from Pre occipital so mites

A

Muscles of tongue

30
Q

What is formed by Pre otic and Pre orbital somites

A

Extrinsic muscles of eye

31
Q

What forms filtrum

A

Downgrowth of frontonasal prominence

32
Q

What structures join to form nasolacrimal duct

A

Frontonasal prominence

Maxillary prominence of Branchial arch 1

33
Q

What embyological defect causes DiGeorge syndrome

A

Abnormal development of the third and fourth branchial arches. Thymic hypo/a-plasia

34
Q

Describe process of neurulation

A

Week 3 - midline ectoderm thickens forming neural plate.
Neural plate wider at cephalic end.
Lateral plate edges thicken = neural folds (induced by underlying notochord and somites)
Folds develop and neural groove is seen
Folds meet and fuse to form neural tube

35
Q

Anomalies of neural crest cell migration

A

Treacher Collin’s syndrome

Albinism

36
Q

Describe embryological development of vertebral column

A

Neural tube lies posterior to notochord
Mesenchymal blocks on either side of notochord
Medial somites = sclerotome
Week 4 - Sclerotome migrates and clusters around notochord
Week 6 - differentiate into chondroblasts separated by mesenchyme
Week 8 - expansion of chondroblasts eliminates notochord

37
Q

Main steps of palatogenesis

A
  • elevation
  • horizontal growth
  • midline contact, adhesion
  • fusion
38
Q

Morphological stages of early tooth development

A
  • bud
  • cap
  • bell
  • terminal differentiation
39
Q

Describe odontoblasts

A
  • neural-crest derived mesenchymal cells
  • form predentin
  • calcifies to form dentin
40
Q

What do ameloblasts do?

A
  • produce enamel
41
Q

Adontia

A

Total lack of tooth development

42
Q

Dentinogenesis imperfecta

A

Teeth are translucent and roughened with severe amber discoloration

43
Q

Dentine dysplasia

A

Primary teeth are translucent and amber but secondary central incisors are normal

44
Q

Amelogenesis imperfecta

A

Abnormal tooth enamel formation

45
Q

Hypodontia

A

Lack of development of one or more teeth

46
Q

Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

A

Maldevelopment of one or more ectodermal-derived tissues

47
Q

How many permanent teeth should we have?

A

32

48
Q

Embryonic origin of cranial and spinal meninges

A
  • somatic and cephalic mesoderm

- neural crest cells

49
Q

Factors that influence the effect of a teratogen on embryonic development

A
  • robusticity (genetics) of the baby
  • sex of baby (boys more ecosensitive)
  • timing of exposure
  • amount of exposure
  • duration of exposure
50
Q

What originates from neural crest cells

A
  • cranial and sensory ganglia and nerves
  • adrenal medulla
  • melanocytes
  • branchial arch cartilages
  • bulbar and clonal ridges of the heart
  • meninges
  • cranial mesenchyme and connective tissue
