25
Which bony aspects are derived from the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
Greater horn and lower part of body of hyoid
26
What two main types of tissue do the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches contribute?
1. Cartilage 2. Musculature
27
Which pharyngeal arches contribute to the laryngeal cartilages?
4 and 6
28
Which muscles does the 4th pharyngeal arch contribute?
1. Cricothyroid constrictor 2. Levator palatini constrictor 3. Pharyngeal constrictor
29
Which muscle(s) are provided by the 6th pharyngeal arch?
Intrinsic laryngeal muscle
30
What does the first pharyngeal cleft give rise to?
External auditory meatus
31
What do the 2nd to 4th pharyngeal clefts give rise to?
Cervical sinus | (this degenerates)
32
What are the pharyngeal pouches?
Invaginations of the internal endoderm which lines the pharyngeal pouches
33
What does the first pharyngeal pouch go on to become?
1. Middle ear 2. Eustachian tube 3. Tympanic membrane
34
What does the 2nd pharyngeal pouch go on the develop?
Palatine tonsil
35
What does the 3rd pharyngeal pouch go on to develop?
1. Inferior parathyroid gland 2. Thymus
36
What does the 4th pharyngeal pouch go on to develop?
Superior parathyroid gland Ultimobranchial body (contributes C cells of the thymus)
37
What does the thyroid gland develop from?
Foramen caecum of tongue
38
How does the inferior parathyroid glands eventually become inferior to the superior ones when they are initially more cranial?
Inferior parathyroid glands are produced in the 3rd pharyngeal pouch The thymus gland migrates down into the chest and drags the inferior parathyroid glands inferior to the superior ones They then detach and migrate into the thyroid gland
39
What are the otic placodes?
Thickenings of the external ectoderm Go on to become the ear and auditory system
40
How many otic placodes are present?
2 | (one for each ear)
41
What do the otic vesicles firstly transition to become?
Otic pits and then otic vesicles | (they invaginate)
42
Which embrylogical structure gives rise to the inner ear?
Otic vesicles (sensory cells of inner ear also develop here)
43
How many parts are the otic vesicles comprised of?
3
44
What are the names of the 3 parts which make up the optic vesicle?
1. Endolymphatic sac and duct 2. Utricular portion 3. Saccular portion
45
What does the utricular portion of the otic vesicles go on to develop into?
Semicircular canals
46
What does the saccular portion of the otic vesicles go on to develop into?
Cochlea
47
During week 6, how do the utricular part of the otic vesicles change?
1. They become flattened outpocketings 2. The central part of the walls then appose each other and break down
48
What is the name given to the dilated end of each of the semicircular canals?
Crus ampullare | (there are three of these)
49
What is the name given to the non-dilated end of each of the semicircular canals?
Crus non-ampullare | (there are two of these)
50
Why is there 3 crus ampullare and only 2 crus non-ampullare?
Two crus non-ampullare fuse
51
What is found within the crus ampullae?
Crista ampullaris Composed of: 1. Sensory cells for balance 2. Vestibular fibres of VIII
52
In which timeframe does the cochlear duct grow in a spiral?
Weeks 6-8
53
What tissue type surrounds the cochlear duct and what happens to this tissue at around the week 6-8 period?
Mesenchyme tissue It becomes cartilaginous
54
What does the developing cartilaginous tissue around the cochlear duct at weeks 6-8 eventually become?
Temporal bone
55
Which structure houses the cochlear fibres of CN VIII?
Modiolus
56
Which structure houses the cells of hearing?
Basilar membrane | (at organ of corti)
57
What is the organ of Corti?
Sensitivie element in the inner ear It is situated on the basilar membrane in one of the three compartments of the Cochlea It contains four rows of hair cells which protrude from its surface
58
Which structure overlies the hair cells of the organ of Corti?
Tectorial membrane
59
What is special about the inner hair cells in the organ of Corti?
They have cilia on their surface which makes contact with the tectorial membrane
60
As the middle ear cavity develops, which tissue breaks down allowing what to form?
Mesenchyme breaks down Tympanic cavity forms (from originally being a expansion of the first pharyngeal pouch)
61
What is they tympanic membrane formed from?
1. Wall of first pharyngeal pouch 2. Wall of first pharyngeal cleft
62
The auricle forms from which structures?
1st and 2nd pharyngeal arches Each arch provides 3 auricular hillocks
63
What are auricular hillocks
Small proliferations of cells which surround the external acoustic meatus and form the auricle
