Q

What does the cartilage of the first pharyngeal arch do?

A

Back portion forms malleus and incus, also provides model for mandible to form. Eventually disintigrates and is replaced w/ bone to form mandible.

Q

6th - intrinsic muscles of the larynx (innervated by CN X)

20
Q

What nerve comes from the first arch?

A

Trigeminal nerve (CN V2 and V3 ONLY)

21
Q

What nerve comes from the second arch?

A

Facial nerve (CN VII)

22
Q

What nerve comes from the third arch?

A

Glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)

23
Q

What nerve comes from the fourth and sixth arches?

A

Vagus nerve

24
Q

What does the first groove form?

A

The external acoustic meatus

25
Q

What do grooves 2-4 do?

A

Lie in the cervical sinus that closes off during development

26
Q

What germ layer derivative lines the grooves?

A

Grooves are externally located so ectoderm lines them

27
Q

What types of congenital malformations are associated with pharyngeal grooves?

A

Cervical cysts, cervical sinus, cervical fistula

28
Q

What is a cervical cyst?

A

Remnant of cervical sinus that is covered with skin but still open internally. Are mobile and painless.

29
Q

What is a cervical sinus?

A

Failure of 2nd or 3rd groove to close completely (aka cervical sinus doesn’t close all the way). Can be internal (rare) or external.

30
Q

What is a cervical fistula?

A

Open connection between groove that remains patent to the environment (persistence of parts of 2nd groove and pouch)

31
Q

What does the first pharyngeal membrane contribute to?

A

Tympanic membrane

32
Q

What does the first pouch give rise to?

A

The tympanic cavity, mastoid antrum, and pharyngotympanic tube (eustachian tube). The deepest part of the pouch that comes in contact with the first pharyngeal membrane contributes to the tympanic membrane

33
Q

What does the second pouch give rise to?

A

Tonsils - tonsillar sinus and lymphoid nodules of palatine tonsil

34
Q

What does the third pouch give rise to?

A

Inferior parathyroid gland and thymus

35
Q

What does the fourth pouch give rise to?

A

Superior parathyroid gland and ultimobranchial body (contributes to parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland)

36
Q

How do the third and fourth pouches move during development?

A

Third pouch moves down, fourth pouch doesn’t move

37
Q

Where does the thymus develop from?

A

The third pharyngeal pouch endoderm which is comprised of epithelial cords

38
Q

What are the functions of the epithelial cords?

A

Grow into thymic lobules, become arranged around central point to form thymic corpuscles, and form an epithelial reticulum for housing lymhocytes

39
Q

What happens to the thymus as it continues to develop from childhood to adulthood?

A

It involutes and largely becomes replaced by adipose tissue

40
Q

What does the thyroid gland develop from?

A

The floor of the developing pharynx

41
Q

How does the thyroid develop?

A

From the thyroid primordium which invaginates downward and descends past hyoid bone. Stays attached to developing pharynx via thyroglossal duct which then disintegrates.

42
Q

What is first arch syndrome?

A

Congenital abnormality caused by underdevelopment of the first pharyngeal arch due to abnormal migration of neural crest cells into that area.

43
Q

What is the most common type of first arch syndrome?

A

Treacher-Collilns syndrome. Autosomal dominant, truncation of TCOF1 gene that forms TREACLE protein which is involved in ribosome biogenesis. Therefore NCCs with this mutation have impaired ribosome formation/activity which causes them to die and decreases NCC population.

44
Q

What is another type of first arch syndrome that was discussed?

A

Pierre Robin sequence. Hypoplasia of the mandible/chin, bilateral cleft palate

45
Q

What is absence of the thyroid gland called?

A

Agenesis of thyroid gland

46
Q

What is unilateral failure of formation of the thyroid gland called?

A

Thyroid hemiagenesis

47
Q

What is DiGeorge syndrome?

A

Agenesis of thymus and parathyroid glands, cardiac abnormalities
