A

Congenital 1st and 2nd arch defect usually affecting one side of body

36
Q

Symptoms of hemifacial microsomia (Goldenhar) syndrome?

A

Maxillary, temporal and zygomatic bones are small/flat, small mandible, anotia/microtia, benign eye tumors, scoliosis/kyphosis, abnormal rib structure, tetralogy of Fallot & VSDs

37
Q

What does the 1st pharyngeal cleft form?

A

External auditory meatus

38
Q

What do clefts 2,3 and 4 form?

A

Fuse to form cervical sinus which eventually degenerates.

39
Q

What is a pharyngeocutaneous fistula?

A

Persistent cervical sinus forming a fistula connecting skin and pharynx.

40
Q

Ear drums form from what?

A

Cleft mesenchyme in between first pouch

41
Q

What gives rise to C-Cells (thyroid)?

A

Ultimobranchial body

42
Q

Where does the thyroid migrate from/to?

A

Migrates from base of tongue to inferior to laryngeal prominence

43
Q

Where does the parathyroid migrate from/to?

A

Migrates from posterior surface of thyroid; inferior pair (3rd pouch) originates superior to superior pair (4th pouch)

44
Q

Thyroglossal duct degenerates to form what?

A

Foramen cecum

45
Q

What is the migration of the ultimobranchial body?

A

4th pouch to incorporation into thyroid gland; forms parafollicular (C) cells

Q

Where does the thymus migrate from?

A

3rd pouch to anterior mediastinum

A

Superior pair of parathyroid glands, parafollicular (C) cells of thyroid gland

51
Q

The tympanic membrane forms where?
