Embryology Flashcards
general stages of human development
before fertilization fertilization and implantation bilaminar germ disk gastrulation neuralation somitogenesis
region where ectoderm and endoderm layers of bilaminer germ disk meet
prochordal plate
gastrulation
single layered blastula reorganizes into 3 layered (trilaminar) gastrula
organogenesis
during weeks 4-8
the bodys various tissues,organs and limbs start developing
1st trimester
during what week do palate and teeth develop
6-8 weeks
The 1
st (‘mandibular’) arch forms
structures of
(6)
the face
- Muscles of mastication
- Maxilla, mandible, malleus, and incus
The 2
nd (‘hyoid’), 3rd, 4th and 6th
th arches form structures of
the neck
the 5th arch is
vestigal
2nd pharyngeal arch forms structures of
4
Muscles of facial expression
– Stapes, styloid, and part of hyoid bone
3rd pharayngeal arch forms structures such as
2
Body And greater horn of hyoid bone
One pharyngeal muscle – stylopharyngeus muscle
4th and 6th pharyngeal arch forms structures such as
Pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles: swallowing & phonation
Laryngeal cartilages
Meckel’s cartilage (1st arch)
acts as a scaffold for formation of the mandible, but
then regresses to form the malleus and incus bones of the middle ear and
sphenomandibular ligament
Reichert’s cartilage (2nd arch)
forms a portion of the hyoid bone and stapes bone
of the middle ear, as well as the stylomandibular ligament
orofacial clefts occur from
failure of fusion between the maxillary/palatal and nasal prominence’s
