Q

How does the neural tube form?

A

notochord signals for overlying ectoderm to thicken, causing a slipper shaped elevation of neurectoderm. This rolls up to from the neural tube

Q

What nerve gives special sensation to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

A

Chorda tympani, a branch of the facial nerve

17
Q

What nerve gives special sensation to the posterior 1/3 of the tongue?

A

The glossopharyngeal nerve.

18
Q

What are the 2 divisions of the vagus nerve, and from which Ph arches are they derived?

A

Ph arch 4- superior laryngeal nerve

Ph arch 6- recurrent laryngeal nerve.

19
Q

What’s the function of the superior laryngeal nerve?

A

innervates constrictors of the phayrnx

20
Q

What’s the function of hte recurrent laryngeal nerve?

A

Innervates the intrinsic muscles of the larynx

21
Q

What cartilage is derived from Ph arch 1?

A

Meckel’s cartilage, derived from the mandibular prominence.

22
Q

What are the derivatives fo the cartilage bar fromed from Ph arch 1?

A

Template for the mandible (membranous ossification)

malleus, incus.

23
Q

What cartilage is derived from Ph arch 2?

A

Reichert’s cartilage.

24
Q

What are the derivatives of the cartilage bar formed from Ph arch 2?

A

The superior hyoid bone,
The styloid process
The stapedius.

25
Q

What are the derivatives of the 1st and 2nd aortic arches?

A

There are none, they dissappear.

26
Q

What are the derivates of the 3rd aortic arch?

A

Internal carotid artery

27
Q

What are the derivates of the 4th aortic arch?

A

on the left, forms the arch of the aorta.

On the right, from the brachiocephallic artery.

28
Q

What are the derivatives of the 6th aortic arch?

A

Forms the pulmonary arch.

29
Q

Are the pharyngeal pouches found on the inside or the outside?

A

Inside, they’re covered by endoderm.

30
Q

What does the 1st pharyngeal pouch form?

A

The tympanic cavity and the eustachian tube.

31
Q

What does the 2nd pharyngeal pouch form?

A

The pallatine tonsils

32
Q

What does the 3rd pharyngeal pouch form?

A

Joins the 4th,
Dorsal portions form the parathyroid glands
Ventral portions form the thymus.

33
Q

What does the 4th pharyngeal pouch form?

A

Joins with the 3rd,
Dorsal portions form the parathyroid glands
Ventral portions form the thymus

34
Q

Where are the pharyngeal clefts found?

A

On the outside, between the arches, coverred in ectoderm.

35
Q

What is special about the 1st pharyngeal cleft?

A

It’s the only one that remains

36
Q

What is derived from teh 1st pharyngeal cleft?

A

The external auditory meatus.

37
Q

What problems can occur with regards to the pharyngeal clefts?

A

They can not fully close up, leading to branchial cysts and fistulae

38
Q

Where would you find pharyngeal cysts and fistulae?

A

Along the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid, therefore within the anterior triangle.

39
Q

What is a pharyngeal pouch and what becomes of them?

A

outpocketings of the primitive gut tube in the pharynx.

Become glandular tissue.
