Q

How are the pouches different from the clefts?

A

clefts are external , pouches are internal

the pouches are endoderm lined areas along the lateral walls of the pharyngeal guts, located opposite the pharyngeal clefts

Q

What do the pharyngeal membranes separate?

A

hte pouches from the clefts

they do NOT break down in humans, so the clefts and pouches don’t communicate ever (like they do in fish)

Q

What are the derivatibves of the first pharyngeal arch?

A

maxillary prominence becomes upper jaw

mandibular prominence becomes lower jaw

so you have maxilla, zygomatic bones, squamous part of temporal bone (intramemebranous oss)

malleus, incus (endochondral ossificaiton)

sphenomandibular ligament, sphenoid spine

21
Q

What cartilage forms in the mandibular prominence and forms the sphenomandibular ligament and malleus and incus?

A

Meckel’s cartilage

22
Q

What muscles are innervated by V3 in the 1st pharyngeal arch?

A

muscles of mastication

mylohyoid

anterior belly of digastric

tensor tympani

tensor veli palatini

23
Q

Describe Treacher COllins Syndrome?

A

it’s First Arch Syndrome

you have a deficiency of neural crest cell migration intot he 1st arch

so you get mandibulofacial dystosis, abnormal development of the 1st arch structures, conductive hearing loss

completely normal brain function

24
Q

What is Pierre Robin Syndrome?

A

Another first arch syndrome

deficiency of neural crest cell migration leads to micrognathia, large posteriorly placed tongue - leading to airway obstruction. Also cleft palate issues

25
Q

What is the treatment for Pierre Robin Syndrome?

A

you use distraction osteogenesis to lengthen the mandible

sometimes you have to put in a tracheostomy to maintain airway

26
Q

What cartilage develops in the second arch?

A

Reichert’s cartilage

27
Q

What muscles are innervated by the facial nerve? (So what muscles are derived from the 2nd arch)

A

muscles of facial expression

posterior belly of digastric

stylohyoid

stapedius

28
Q

What is the main skeletal derivative of the third arch?

A

the lower body of the hyoid bone (the upper body of the hyoid bone is form the 2nd arch)

29
Q

What is the muscle derived from the third arch?

A

stylopharyngeus (only one innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve)

30
Q

What are the cartilages that form form the 4th and 6th arches?

A

the thyroid and cricoid cartilage

31
Q

What are the derivatives of the first pouch?

A

the tubotympanic recess, which forms the auditory tube, middle ear cavity, and mastoid air cells

32
Q

What is the main derivaitive of the second pouch?

A

palatine tonsils

33
Q

What are the two glandular derivatives of the third pouch?

A

thymus

inferior parathyroid glands

(note they both have to immigrate downward)

34
Q

What are the derivatives of the fourth pouch?

A

superior parathyroid glands and the ultimobranchial bodies that will become the parafollicular cells of the thyroid

35
Q

What is the clinical implication of the fact that the 3rd and 4th pouch derivatives have to mgirate a ways?

A

you can get accessory or ectopic parathyroids and thymic tissue

36
Q

What is DiGeorge Syndrome?

A

it’s a microdeletion of chromosome 22

you have no thymus or parathyroids (so diminished immunity and hypocalceumia)

it’s because you don’t get nerla crest migration intot he 3rd nand 4th pouch

also cleft palate, low set ears, hear defects, poor ciculation, poor muscle tone

37
Q

What is the only cleft that has a derivative int he adult?

A

the 1st cleft - the external auditory meatus

38
Q

DUring development, what is formed by the overgrown of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th clefts by the 2nd arch?

A

the cervical sinus (lined with ectoderm)

it usually disappears

39
Q

Clinically what will happen if the cervical sinus does not disappear?

A

You get a lateral cervical (branchial) cyst or fistula

40
Q

What forms the thyroid gland? It’s kinda tricky.

A

It’s an endodermal evagination from the FLOOR of the pharynx between the 1st and 2nd arches.

so it actually kinda forms from gut

41
Q

What is the site of origin for the thyroid gland then?

A

the foramen cecum of the tongue

42
Q

What connects the tyroid to the tonuge during development?

A

the thyroglossal duct

43
Q

If the thyroid doesn’t descend, what is it called?

A

a lingual thyroid

44
Q

What is the only membrane to persist into adulthood? As what”

A

the 1st membrane persists as the tympanic membrane

45
Q

What arhes are involved in tongue development?

A

1-4

46
Q

What arch forms the anterior 2/3 of the tongue?

A

1st arch mesenchyme

47
Q

Why does the 2nd arch ultmiatley not contribute tot he tongue?

A

It forms the copula, but it drops down and is overgrown by the 3rd arch

48
Q

What marks the boundary between the anterior 2/3 and postieor 1/3 of the tongue? WHat memebrane used to be there?

A

the terminal sulcus

the buccopharyngeal membrane used to be there

49
Q

What part of the tongue does the 4th arch contribute to them?

A

the epiglottis and extreme posterior tongue

50
Q

Why are the tongue muscles tricky in terms of innervation?

A

they don’t stick with the arch-nerve rules

most of the tongue muscles are derived from myoblasts that migrate from the occipital myotomes with eh hypoglossal nerve, so that’s how they’re innervated

51
Q

What’s the one muscle of the tongue not innervated by the hypoglossus?

A

palatoglossus - innervated by vagus

52

A
