Embryology Neck Flashcards
Embryology of thyroglossal duct ?
3rd week, FORAMEN CECUM develops between anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue. Then develops into Thyroid GLAND. The latter dives into the neck and creates this DUCT. Process ends 7th week
TGD in relation with hypoid bone?
Usually in the midline, but infrahyoid the duct can move off midline
Types of cells in the TGD?
and
How is TGD cyst formed ?
Walls lymphoid and epithelial cells and stick to each other by third trimester duct gone
It is filled with mucus from epithelial cells.
Complications of a congenital cyst?
Infection -> Respiratory tract -> Cyst
Inflammation more mucus
If the cyst bursts -> Discharging sinus (fistula)
Where is ectopic thyroid located?
Remains in the residual duct
What is the pharyngeal apparatus?
Contents of each arch?
Pairs of branhcia/pharyngeal arches, pouches and clefts
Artery, nerve and cartilage
Embryology of the arches, pouches and clefts
Arches: Mesoderm
Pouches: Endoderm
Clefts: Ectoderm
How many arches?
1-6 but 5 either doesn’t form or regresses immediately
Function of 1st Paryngeal Arch?
Function of 2nd Paryngeal Arch?
Chewing
Facial expressions
Nerves of 1st Pharyngeal Arch
Bones 1st Pharyngeal Arch
Nerves:
Trigeminal n. CN5
Mandibular n. V3
Bones: Mandible, Zygomatic bone, Maxilla, Incus, Malleus
Muscles 1st Pharyngeal Arch
Chewing muscles: Temporalis, Pterygoid, Masseter
Swallowing : Tensor veli palatini, Mylohyoid muscles and ANTERIOR Belly digastric
+
Tensor tympani
Origin of the post belly of digastric mucle?
2nd Pharyngeal Arch
Nerves and bone 2nd Pharyngeal Arch?
Facial N.
Hyoid bone, styloid process, stapes
Embryology of the ossicles?
Upper part malleus - incus = 1st Arch
Lower part malleus - incus and staple = 2nd Arch
BUT FOOTPLATE of stapes from otic capsule (inner ear)
Muscles 2nd Pharyngeal arch?
Sound and swallowing
Post belly digastric and stapedial muscle
Origin of tensor tympani muscle?
Origin of stapedius muscle?
1st Arch
2nd Arch
