Embryology of the Head and Neck Flashcards
during the first 10 weeks of development what cradles the base of the skull?
-what forms at the end of this period
cartilaginous neurocranium
-flat bones of cranial vault start to form as part of membranous neurocranium
2 parts of the viscerocranium or facial bones
cartilaginous: 1st branchial arch: meckel’s
2nd branchial arch: reichert’s
3,4,6 branchial arches
membranous: maxillary prominence of 1st branchial arch
mandibular prominence of 1st branchial arch
apert syndrome
premature fusion of coronal sutures
-tower skull appearance
cranioschisis
failure of occipital and parietal bones to completely form or close
-associated with arreste4d brain development and rudimentary forebrain (anacephaly)
macrocephaly
enlarged cranium secondary to hydrocephaly
week 4 development of face, stomodeum
separated from the endodermal foregut by oropharyngeal membrane
what induces the evagination of the ectoderm to form the stomodaeum
the primitve pharynx
frontalnasal prominence forms what
forehead, dorsum and apex of nose
- portion of skin ectoderm thickens = nasal placodes
- invagination of nasal placodes = lateral and medial nasal prominences
what are the nasal prominences formed by
the proliferation of the mesenchyme beneath the medial and lateral edges of the nasal placodes
what does the lateral nasal prominence form
the alae of the nsoe
what does the medial nasal prominence form
middle part of nose, mdeial upper lip and philtrum
dorsum of nose
what forms the primary palate
the posterior portion of the intermaxillary segment
how does the nasal septum form
midline down growth of fused medial nasal prominences
secondary palate develops as ___ develops
will develop ___ ____ that fuse with ____
tongue
palatal shelves, primary plate
how do nasal sacs form
nasal placodes invaginate to form nasal pits, enlarge to form nasal sacs (primitive nasal cavities)
what is the remaining membrane between the nasal sacs and oral cavity called
oronasal membrane, later ruptures to open the nasopharynx to the oropharynx (primitive choanae
formation of the nasolacrimal duct
lateral nasal prominence and maxillary prominence form furrow, ectoderm in floor thickens to form a cord
-separates from surface and canalizes to form nasolacrimal duct
what does the buccopharyngeal membrane mark
its the line marking the anterior 2/3 of oral cavity (ectoderm) and posterior 1/3 (endoderm)
what is an oblique facial cleft due to
failure of lateral nasal prominence and maxillary prominence to fuse
-associated with cleft chin
what do the maxillary prominences form
lateral parts of upper lip and jaw
-secondary palate or palatine shelves
strucutres from branchial arch III innervated by what
glossopharyngeal nerve
what happens when the mandibular prominences fail to fuse
a cleft chin will result
what fuses to separate the nasal cavity from the oral cavity
the secondary palate
