weeks 4-7
what are the bones around the brain called
the neurocranium (8 bones)
what are the facial bones called
the viscerocranium (15 bones)
what are the flat bones of the neurocranium and what is this group called
frontal and parietal bones
calvaria
what are the bones of neurocranium that make up the base of the skull
the chondrocranium
what is the cellular origin of the facial bones and frontal bone
neural crest cells from the dorsal part of neural tube
what is the cellular origin of the skull bones (minus the frontal)
the paraxial mesoderm, cells that are cranial to the somites
called: unsegmented, somitic, somitomeric or pre-otic
what is the cellular origin of the laryngeal bones
the lateral plate mesoderm
what is endochondral ossification
formation of a cartilage template and then formation of bone
what is intramembranous ossification
direct formation of bone
what skull bones form via endochondral ossification
occipital bone (chondrocranium)
what skull bones form via intramembranous ossification
the parietal and frontal bones
what are sutures important for
molding at birth
where do sutures arise from
sagital: neural crest
coronal: paraxial mesoderm
When do the anterior and mastoid fontanelles close?
around 2 years
when do the posterior and sphenoidal fontanelles close
after 6 months
what is craniosynostosis
premature fusion of sutures
scaphocephaly is what
a long AP skull due to early fusion of sagittal suture
bradycephaly is what
a short square shaped skull due to early coronal fusion
Crouzon syndrome
AD
FGFR2 gain of function mutation
craniosynostosis, ocular proptosis, mandibular prognathism, progressive hydrocephaly

what is the origin of the 1, 2 and 3rd pharyngeal arches
the neural crest cells
what is the origin of the IV and VI pharyngeal arches
lateral plate mesoderm
what do the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches form
thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage and arytenoid cartilage
