Q

What is derived form the second pouch?

A

Epithelial lining of the palantine tonsils

Pouches are made of endoderm

17
Q

What is derived from the third pouch?

A

Inferior parathyroid gland and thymus

Pouches are made of endoderm

18
Q

What is derived from the fourth pouch?

A

Superior parathyroid gland and ultimobrachial body

Pouches are made of endoderm

19
Q

What is derived from the first groove?

A

Epithelial lnings of the external auditory meatus

Grooves are made of ectoderm

20
Q

What happens to grooves 2,3,4 ?

A

Obliterated

21
Q

What is the most common site of thyroglossal cyst?

A

Midline close to the hyphoid bone. Thyroid forms from the diverticulum and descends caudally passing the hyphoid bone. If the thyroglossal duct remains after the descent it will from the thyroglossal cyst.

22
Q

What is the taste sensation from the oral 2/3 of the tongue

A

Chorda typani branch of the facial nerve CN7. this part of the tongue froms from the first pharyngeal arch so the sensation will be from the CN5

23
Q

What fuses to form the intermaxillary segment?

A

Medial nasal prominances fuse at the midline to form the adult palate.

24
Q

What is the most common site of pharyngeal fistula?

A

Anterior border of the sternocleomastoid muscle. The pharyngeal fistula forms when pharyngeal pouch 2 and pharyngeal groove 2 persist therefore the fistula is on the lateral portion of the neck.

25
Q

What is the most common congenital malformation of the head and neck area?

A

Unilateral cleft lip. This forms when the maxillary prominance fails to fuse with the medial nasal prominance and when the underlying somitomeric mesoderm and neural crest cells fail to proliferate.

26
Q

Which pharyngeal arch is associated with Treacher collins Syndrome?

Is Robbins syndrome similiar? If yes how so

A

First arch syndrome is treacher collins syndrome and is a result of the lack of migration of the neural crest cells. You will observe an underdevelopment of the zygomatic bone, deformed lower eyelids and external ears.

Robbins sequence has normal ears and a cleft pallate.

27
Q

You are operating to remove a thyroid tumor and you send a small section to frozen section to see if the tissue is malignant. The report comes back as parathyroid tissue with reminants of thymus

HOW CAN THIS BE?

A

Eptopic glandular tissue is commonly found in this region. The parathyroid and thymus migrate in a caudal and medial direction during development and eptopic glandular tissue can be found anywhere in their path

28
Q

A newborn infant presents with treacher collins syndrome. Which structure would most likely be affected

A. Hyphoid Bone

B. Stapes

C. Malleus

D. Thyroid Gland

E. Inferior Parathyroid

A

The only structure listed that is derived from the first arch is the Malleus.

29
Q

How does a pharyngeal cyst form?

A

When the part 2,3,4 of the pharyngeal groove fail to fuse they will form a cyst normally on the margin of the mandible

30
Q

What is degeorge syndrome

A

A defect in the third and fourth pouch which results in the lack of a thymus. Sevire immune defects will persist as well as a lack of parathyroid glands which render the patient unable to regulate calcium.

Kiddos are normally killed by the cardiovascular abnormalities.
