Embryology Flashcards
What does the tongue form from?
Anterior 2/3rds - Lateral lingual swellings and medial Tuberculum impar of 1st arch
Posterior 1/3 - 2, 3, 4th arches
Base - Copula of 2,3,4th arches
What separates the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue?
V shaped groove terminal sulcus
What is located at the apex of the terminal sulcus?
Foramen cecum - the remnant of the proximal end of the thryroglossal duct
What is the result of lack of fusion of the lateral lingual swellings?
Bifid tongue (South America)
What order do the 3 main salivary glands form in and from what type of tissue?
6th week - Parotid - ectoderm
end of 6th week - Submandibular - endoderm
8th week - Sublingual - endoderm
What type of cartilage makes up the 1st and 2nd arches?
1st- Meckels
2nd- Reicherts
Both derived from neural crest cells
What type of cartilage makes up the 4-6 pharyngeal arches?
Mesoderm derived cartilage
Meckel’s cartilage forms what?
Ossifies into malleus and incus, and sphenomandibular ligament
What developmental disorder affects the derivatives of the first branchial arch? The patient usually exhibits micrognathia, zygomatic hypoplasia, deformity of the lower rim of the orbit, and malfored external ear. Indicates problems with neural crest cell’s migration.
Mandibulofacial Dysostosis
Reicherts cartilage forms what?
Ossifies into Stapes, stylopid process, tylophyoid ligament, lesser horn of hyoid bone
Third arch cartilage ossifies into what?
Greater cornu (horn) of the hypoid hone
4-6th arch cartilage form what?
Larynx - thyroid, cricoid, arytenoid, corniculate, and cuneiform
Failure of fusion will lead to a cleft lip?
Maxillary process (sides of upper lip) and medial nasal processes (middle of upper lip)
The maxillary processes on each side of the developing face partially fuse with the mandibular arch to from what?
The labial commissures or corners of the mouth
What is the first portion of the face to form after the creation of the stomodeum?
Mandible
During the 4th week of development, the frontonasal process also form, in the future it will become what?
forehead, bridge of nose, primary palate, nasal septum, and all structures related to the medial nasal processes
What 2 structures form around the nasal placodes and later become the nostrils?
Medial and lateral nasal processes
What fails to fuse that will lead to cleft palate?
Palatine shelves
During the 4th week of embryonic development, the 1st branchial arch divides to form?
The mandibular and maxillary processes
______ is a faint ridge in the midline on the surface of the bony mandible where the mandible is formed by the fusion of the mandibular processes.
Mandibular symphysis
