Embryology Flashcards
Pharyngeal arches
core of mesenchyme
neural crest will give rise to ct components
parxial mesoderm—>muscles
each has its own nerve and blood supply
6 total but 5th regresses
arch 1
trigeminal (V)
forms the face: bones(viscerocranium) , CT, dermis, muscles of mastication, digastric, MH
oropharyngeal membrane separates the pharynx and oral cavity
arch 2
facial (VII)
skeletal derivatives of temporal bones
muscles of facial expression
stylohyoid, posterior belly of digastric, stapedius
arch 3
glossopharyngeal (IX)
greater horn and inf portion of hyoid
stylopharngeus
arch 4
vagus (X)
with the 6th arch, forms all laryngeal cartilages
muscles of pharynx, cricothyroid
arch 6
vagus via recurrent laryngeal (X)
fwith 4th arch, forms all laryngeal cartilages laryngeal muscles (-cricothyroid) and skeletal muscles of esophagus
Pouch 1
contributes to the formation of the middle ear and auditory tube
pouch 2
forms the stroma of palatine tonsil and tonsillar fossa
pouch 3
inferior parathyroid
ventral—>thymus
pouch 4
dorsal: suerior parathyroid glands
ventral: ultimobranchial body—> C cells
First cleft
formation of the external ear
Thyroid gland formation
formed from endoderm of the proximal pharynx
descends down the neck, remaining connected to the tongue via thyroglossal duct (pyramidal lobe)
parafollicular C cells are derived from the ultimobranchial body of the 4th pouch
tongue development
1st arch—> anterior 2/3 (GSA from V)
3rd arch—> posterior 1/3 (GSA from IX)
4th forms epiglottic region(GVA from X)
ectopic thyroid or PT tissue
remnants of thyroid tissue can remain along the course of migration (tongue, ant to hyoid, ant to thyroid)
lateral cervical cysts
aka branchial cysts
when the cervical sinus fails to regress ( second arch should overgrow the 3rd and 4th clefts)
causes external (anywhere along the LATERAL SCM) or internal fistulas
