Head & Neck Development- Cox Flashcards
Morphogenesis of the head and neck is a ____ process, not a ____ process
generative; descriptive
___ encode RNA and Proteins
Genes (DNA)
The complement of RNA & Protein produced defines the ____; meaning its appearance and how it behaves
identity of each cell
provides the blueprint that ensures we have a maxilla and mandible and an integrated oronasal cavity:
genes (genome)
gene mutations and diffrences in non-genetic instructions determines everything about our:
phenotype
Cells that are tightly compact and tightly bound together, often found in sheets within the body and have a very distinct sort of shape; not very mobile
epithelia
Cells that are loosely connected, surrounded by many types of ECM so they can move around in the body because they are not attached to anything; they can receive and move towards signals
mesenchyme
Outer cell layer:
ectoderm
Middle cell layer:
mesoderm
Inner cell layer:
endoderm
The terms ecto, endo and mesoderm are related to:
the embryonic origin of cells
All aspects of the craniofacial complex are defined by axes including:
Left-right
Dorsal-ventral
Anterior-posterior
Clinical treatments always consider:
form & symmetry
Clinical treatments always consider form and symmetry because they are:
critical for function and esthetics
Tooth shape, spacing, number, and cusp pattern are all examples of:
form
Name the lineage of cells prior to implantation:
- zygote
- 2-cell stage
- 4-cell stage
- 8-cell stage
- morula
- blastocyst
- late-hatched blastocyst
Cells that make up the outer coating during the blastocyst stage:
zona pellucida
Where the cells within the zona pellucida undergo some sort of specialization to get the formation into an ectodermal layer
compaction
By week 3 of development (carneigie stage 7-9) the mass of cells now has:
ectoderm, mesoderm, & endoderm
The dorsal-ventral (DV) axis is apparent by the ____ stage
blastocyst
During the first 3 weeks of development, the cells in the inner cell mass give rise to the ____ itself and may be referred to as ___.
embryo; embryonic stem cells
The AP and LR axis are determined at the start of week ___, with the appearance of the ____.
3; primitive streak
By week 3 of development, the ectoderm contains the ___, while the endoderm contains the ___.
epiblast (forms embryo); hypoblast
By week 3 of development, ____ cells converge at the midline and ingress (which marks the ___ end)
ectodermal epiblastic cells; posterior end of embryo
The appearance of a primitive streak defines the ____ axis which ultimately defines the ___ axis.
A-P; L-R
The ____ is a furrow that progressively elongates along the midline:
primitive streak
The primitive streak progressively elongates along the midline through a process of:
convergent extension
Early appearance of a primitive streak starts ___ and moves ___ along the midline through convergent extension
posteriorly; anteriorly
During the formation of the 2nd and 3rd germ layer, cells of the ____ migrate through the primitive streak to form ___ & ___
epiblast (layer 1); mesoderm & embryonic (gut) endoderm
During formation of the 2nd an 3rd germ layers, cells of the epiblast (layer 1) _____ to form mesoderm & embryonic (gut) endoderm
migrate through primitive streak
Formation of 2nd and 3rd germ layers occurs through a process called:
gastrulation
Gastrulation occurs through a process of _____ to form ____.
epithelial to mesenchyme transformation (EMT) ; mesoderm
Gastrulation (formation of 2nd and 3rd germ layers) involves the movement of epiblast (ectoderm) to form _____- both epthelia
embryonic endoderm
Describe the growth of the germ layers:
disproprortionate
There is greater proliferation of ____ because it also generates all ___ and ____
epiblast (ectoderm); mesoderm & embryonic endoderm
During proliferation of germ layers, the generated (proliferating) mesoderm migrates toward ___ end
anterior (head)
The key head-forming events is when ___ is being driven forward
mesoderm
An asymmetric bulge at the end of the primitive streak:
the node
Located at the anterior-most end (ventral side) of primitive streak that is unique in both appearance and function:
the node
The ___ (or organizer) is a conserved structure across all vertebrates
Node
The Node is essential for:
- patterning and induction of embryonic cells (mesoderm and embryonic endoderm)
- establishment of the left-right symmetry
Essential for patterning and induction of embryonic cells (mesoderm and embryonic endoderm) as well as the establishment of left-right symmetry and all the internal organs of the body:
The node
Factors secreted by cells of the node induce anteriorly migrating mesoderm to form:
the prechordal plate & then the notochord
Factors secreted by cells of the node induce ___ to form the prechordal plate & notochord
anteriorly migrating mesoderm
