Head and Neck development Flashcards
Folding of embryo forms these two structures
primitive mouth (stomodeum) and forgut
What forms on either side in the floor of the pharynx during formation of foregut and stomodeum
Five pairs of pharyngeal arches
What do the pharyngeal arches consist of?
Mesodermal core covered by ectoderm, and lined by pharyngeal endoderm (EXCEPT the first)
Each arch appears as a swelling containing a cartilaginous rod form by?
Neural crest cells
Sequential swellings are separated by constrictions caused by these invaginations of the ectoderm. How many?
Pharyngeal clefts, 4
Evaginations of the endoderm. How many?
Pharyngeal pouches, 4
The narrow, constricted areas between clefts and pouches.
Pharyngeal membranes
In more primitive vertebrates, the membranes between clefts and pouches function for/form?
Gill slits or functioning gills. This doesn’t occur in humans, and are no longer necessary for breathing and filter feeding. Freed for other uses.
Muscle precursors derive from?
Paraxial somitomeres (recall paraxial mesoderm forms somites which go on to form myotome, dermatome, and sclerotome)
Arch 1 correlates with which CN?
CN V (Trigeminal, both)
Arch 2 correlates with which CN?
CN VII (Facial, both)
Arch 3 correlates with which CN?
CN IX (glossopharyngeal, both)
Arch 4 and 6 correlate with which CN?
CN X (Vagus, both)
Each cartilaginous rod that has migrated into the arch from rhombomeres make up these 4 important structures:
embryonic hindbrain, muscle precursors, aortic arch artery, and associated nerve
Transiently divided segment of the developing neural tube, within the hindbrain region in the area that will eventually become the rhombencephalon
Rhombomere, appear as a series of constricted swellings in the neural tube
What does the primitive mouth area is lined by what derived epithelium?
Ectodermal
The epithelial layer of the pharynx is derived from?
Endoderm
In humans the first arch cartilages persist as the Palatopterygoquadrate bars and Meckle’s cartilage (from maxilla and mandible process, respectively). What do their upper ends become?
The incus and malleus bones of the middle ear
Membrane bone from the neural crest mesenchyme develops and surrounded the remaining first arch cartilage to form these 4 bones:
Maxillary, Mandibular, zygomatic (cheek bones), and squamous temporal bones.
The first arch somitomeric mesoderm yields these 5 muscles:
- Muscles of mastication
- Tensor tympani
- Tensor veli palatini
- Anterior belly of digastric
- Mylohyloid
Second arch cartilage gives rise to these 3 bones:
- lesser cornu and upper rim of hyoid bone
- third ossicle of middle ear (stapes)
- styloid process
Muscles associated with second arch (4)
All muscles of facial expression including:
- platysma
- stylohyoid
- stapedius
- posterior belly of digastric
Third arch cartilage gives rise to this bone:
Greater cornu and lower rim of hyoid bone
The only muscle developed from third arch
Stylopharyngeous (innervated by CN IX)
What does the artery of the third arch give rise to?
Common carotid and base (first part) of the internal carotid
What do the fourth and sixth arches develop into? (1 with 5 parts)
laryngeal cartilage:
- thyroid
- cricothyroid
- arytenoid
- coniculate
- cuneiform
Muscles derived from the fourth arch mesoderm (3)
- Pharyngeal constrictors
- Cricothyroid
- levator veli palatine + other palatal muscles
Muscles derived from the sixth arch (2)
- intrinsic muscles of larynx
2. striated muscle of esophagus
Primary nerve [of vagus nerve] of the fourth arch derivative
superior laryngeal branch of vagus nerve
Innervation of the sixty arch muscles are from which nerve?
Recurrent laryngeal branch of the vagus nerve
The vagus nerve also contributes to innervation of the soft palate and pharyngeal constrictors through its contributions to what?
The pharyngeal plexus
