Q

Third pharyngeal pouch forms:

Inferior parathyroid gland and thymus

28
Q

Dorsal wing of third pharyngeal pouch

A

Inferior parathyroid glands

29
Q

Ventral wing of third pharyngeal pouch

A

Thymus

30
Q

Function of parathyroid glands

A

Regulate body calcium and phosphate levels, secretes calcitonin

31
Q

Thymus function

A

Produces T cells

32
Q

True or false: thyroid forms from pharyngeal arches

A

False

33
Q

Fourth pharyngeal pouch forms:

A

Superior parathyroid gland, ultimobranchial body

34
Q

Dorsal wing of fourth pharyngeal pouch forms:

A

Superior thyroid glands

35
Q

Ventral wing of fourth pharyngeal pouch

A

Ultimobranchial body

36
Q

What is the ultimobranchial body

A

Embryonic structure that contains c-cells of thyroid (calcitonin)

37
Q

Describe migration of thymus

A

Mid 6th week - lateral to thyroid
7 weeks - migrated inferior /start to change shape and fuse
Parathyroids/ultimobranchial body associated with thyroid

38
Q

Abnormalities resulting from defects in migration

A
  1. cervical thymus
  2. accessory thymus (mostly not active)
39
Q

Typically benign anatomical abnormalities

A
  1. Undescended parathyroid gland
  2. Accessory thymic tissue
  3. Persistent cord of thymic tissue
  4. Ectopic inferior parathyroid gland
40
Q

DiGeorge Syndrome deletion

A

22q11.2

41
Q

DiGeorge syndrome results from:

A
  • failure of 3rd/4th pouches to differentiate into thymus/parathyroid
42
Q

Symptoms of DiGeorge

A
  1. cardiac abnormality (tetralogy of fallot - hypertrophy in right ventrical)
  2. thymic aplasia
  3. cleft palate
  4. hypocalcemia/hypoparathyroidism
43
Q

How does arch 1 contribute to tongue?

A

Anterior 2/3 of tongue epithelium

44
Q

How does arch 2 contribute to tongue?

A

Covered up as arch 3 portion grows

45
Q

How does arch 3 contribute to tongue?

A

Forms most of the remaining 1/3 of tongue epithelium

46
Q

How does arch 4 contribute to tongue?

A

Forms just a bit of tongue at the very back of the throat

47
Q

___ gives rise to tongue muscles

A

Occipital somites

48
Q

Palatoglossus muscle

A

Derived from arch 4

49
Q

CN V innervation to tongue

CN X innervation to tongue

A

Sensory, just a bit by throat

53
Q

CN 12 innervation to tongue

A

Tongue muscles

54
Q

Development of tongue

A
  • lateral swellings of first arch fuse and grow out
  • copula covered as third arch grows
  • fourth arch forms base of tongue
  • sulcus terminalis separates anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3, points to foramen cecum
55
