Facial development Flashcards
What are the 2 life in utero phase
Embryonic 8wks
Foetal 8+wks
When does ossification of the face occur
7-8wks
What is very important in the development of the face
Neural crest cell migration
What in the neural plate
A thickened portion of ectoderm along the midline of the embryo
What happens in neural crest cell migration
On the neural plate formation of the neural groove which then leads to formation of the neural tube
Masses of cells detach from the lateral side of the neural plate and form the neural crest
During the folding of the neural plate, cells develop from the ectoderm along the edge of the groove, termed neural crest cells which undergo migration within embryo and differentiate into many cell types e.g. spinal ganglia, Schwann cells
This neural crest derived ectomesenchyme contributes to branchial arch cartilage, bone and connective tissue proper, as well as dental tissues - pulp,dentine, cementum and periodontal
ligament
When and how neural tube formed
3 weeks and by the migration of the neural folds which fuse and form it
What does the neural tube form into
Forms into brain and spinal cord
What does failure of the neural folds fusing cause
Spina bifida
What does failure of the neural tube devlopment lead to
Anencephaly (cerbral hemispheres and cranial vault missing)
What happens at week 4
Neural crest cells form the fronto nasal process and laterally the pharyngeal arches
How many pharyngeal arches are there
6
Talk about the 1st pharyngeal arch
Appears about the 28th day
2 parts
maxillary prominence- becomes future maxilla, zygomatic bone and part of temporal bone
Mandibular prominence- Becomes mandible and gives rise to MOM,mylohyoid,ant. belly diagastric
The assoc. artery is thet Maxillary artery and the assoc. nerve is the trigminal nerve
Talk about the 2nd pharyngeal arch
Approx 28th day
2 assoc. arteries- Stapedial and hyoid
Assoc. nerve is the Facial nerve and muscles are the facial expression,stylohyoid, post. belly of diagastric muscle
Talk about the 3rd pharyngeal arch
30th day and assoc. artery becomes common carotid and proximal portion of the interanl carotid artery
Gives rise to lower body and greater horn of hyoid
Assoc. nerve glossopharyngeal
Talk about the 4th 5th and 6th pharyngeal arch
4th= 32nd day and assoc. nerve superior laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve
5th= spawns in and dissapears
6th=33rd day and assoc nerve recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve
When does formation of face occur and what does most of it
first 8 weeks
Migrating neural crest cells
-Either in fronto nasal process or pharyngeal arches
