Embryology of head and neck Flashcards
3 regions of mesoderm
Paraxial mesoderm
Lateral plate mesoderm
Intermediate mesoderm
What is paraxial mesoderm
Thicked plate of tissue either side of midline
What is lateral plate mesoderm
divdes into two layers
Somatic/partietal mesoderm
Splanchin/visceral mesoderm
Line the intaembryonic cavity
What is intermediate mesoderm
Connects the paraxial and lateral plate mesoderm
What is a somite
Ball of mesoderm
WHat do somites begin as and where do they appear
First known as somitomeres
Appear in the cephalic region of embryo then develop cephalo-caudally
How many somites should be present at the end of 5th week
42-44 paris
Which somites disappears
first occipital somite
last 5-7 coccygeal somite
What somites are left and what do they do
3 occipital 8 cervical 12 thoracic 5lumbar 5 sacral 3-5 coccygeal
Go on to form axial skelton
How does the sclerotome form
Somites (contain fibroblasts-like cells)
They then arrange themselves in a donut shape around a small lumen and become epithelial cells
Cells in the ventromedial wall of somite lose epithelial characteristics
Change their position to surround the neural tube and notochord
forming the sclerotome
What does scelerotome eventually form
Vertebrae and ribs
How does the myotome form
Cells in the dorsomedial and ventrolateral walls of somite form the myotome
What is the myotome
Precursor for muscle cells
Some muscle precursors cells migrate into the parietal later of lateral plate mesoderm to form body wall muscles
How does the dermatome form
Cells in between the muscle precursor cells fo the somite form the dermatome
What is the dermomyotome
Myotome cells migrate beneath the dermatome to form a dermomyotome
How is the dermis layer of the back formed
Dermatome cells become migratory and migrate beneath the surface ectoderm, forming the dermis of the back
How is the dermis layer of the back formed
Dermatome cells become migratory and migrate beneath the surface ectoderm, forming the dermis of the back
How are the myotome and dermatome innervated
Retains innervation from its segment of origin
What does the intermediate mesoderm form
Forms urogenital structures
Forms future nephortomes
More caudally forms the nephrogenic cord
What does the lateral plate mesoderm go on to form
Lines the intraembryonic cavity
Lines the organs and gut tube
Goes on to form the serous membranes of future peritoneal, plural and pericardial cavities
What does parietal LPM form
lateral body wall folds
form the dermis of skin in body wall and limbs
Form muscles of limbs, body wall and costal cartilages along with sclerotome and muscles cells from somites
What does the visceral LPM form
With the endoderm forms the wall fo the gut tube
What does the intraembryonic cavity form
Thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities
What does the paraxial mesoderm from regarding head and neck
Somiters and somitomeres
LArge portion of membranous and cartilaginous parts of skull
All voluntary muscles of craniofacial region
Dermis
Connective tissue of dorsal head
Meninges caudal to prosencephalon
What does the LPM do regarding head and neck
Laryngeal cartilages
Connective tissue of laryngeal region
How do thickened regions of ectoderm assist in development of head and neck
With NCC, form neurons of the 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th cranial sensory ganglia
What do pharyngeal arches contain
Consists of a core of mesenchymal tissue derived from mesoderm
Covered externally by ectoderm
COnvered internally by endorderm
What components do each pharyngeal arch have
Muscular component
SKeletal/cartilaginous component
cranial nerve
arterial component
Which cranial nerves contribute to the pharygeal arches
CN V
CN VII
CN IX
CN V
What happens at the end of 4th week of development regarding face development
Centre of face is formed by the stomedeum
closed by the oropharyngeal membrane
surrounded by the first pair of pharyngeal arches
What two parts is the first pharyngeal arch made up of
Maxaially part - latyeral to stomedeum
Mandibular part - caudal to stomodeum
What is the stomodeum
Future oral cavity
What dies maxiallary process of 1st pharyngeal arch go on to form
Future maxilla, zygomatic bone and part of the temporal bone
What dies mandibulary process of 1st pharyngeal arch go on to form
Contains Mercel’s cartilage
Mesenchyme surround Meckel’s cartilage will become future mandible
What muscles are associated with the 1st PA
muscles of mastication
Anterior belly of digastric, mylohyoid, tensor tympani, tensor palatini
What nerve components are associated with the 1st PA
The mandibular branch of CN V supplies all the muscles
All 3 branches of CN V provide innervation to the skin of the face
