24
Q

What initiates formation of double-layered pharyngeal membranes?

A

25
Q

Around week 20, mesenchyme of the 2nd pharyngeal pouch will differentiate into what tissue?

A

Lymphoid tissue

26

A

Epithelium of Dorsal bulbar portion of 3rd PA

27
Q

What is the direct embryonic origin of the superior parathyroid gland?

A

Epithelium of dorsal bulbar portion of 4th PA

28
Q

A

Week 7

31
Q

What is the direct embryological origin of the foramen cecum?

A

32
Q

What structure connects the fetal tongue to the developing thyroid gland?

A

Thyroglossal duct

33
Q

What week do thyroid follicles form?

A

Week 10

34
Q

A

Week 7

35
Q

What week of thyroid development does colloid appear and TH synthesis begin?

A

Week 11

36
Q

What week do fetal TSH and thyroxine reach adult levels?

Ventral part of the 4th pouch (NCC)

38
Q

What does the ultimopharyngeal body give rise to?

A

Parafollicular cells (fuses with thyroid gland and disseminates)

39
Q

Abnormal migration of NCC into the 1st pharyngeal arch can cause what facial features to be malformed?

A

Eyes, ears, mandible, palate

40
Q

Mutation in the what gene causes Treacher-Collin’s sydrome? What does the mutation result in?

A

TCOF1

Cannot make TREACLE ptn, involved in ribosome biogenesis, leads to increased apoptosis of cranial NCCs

A

DiGeorge Syndrome
