Lecture 13: Development of Orofacial Structures Flashcards
What does the viscerocranium become?
What is its embryological origin?
Facial skeleton
Mesenchyme
What does the neurocranium become?
What is its embryological origin?
Bones that enclose the brain
Mesenchyme
What bones form from the cartilagenous neurocranium?
- Occipital Bone
- Body of Sphenoid Bone
- Ethmoid Bone
- Petrous and mastoid parts of Temporal Bone
What bones arise from the membranous neurocranium?
Frontal and Parietal Bones
What bone initially begins as part of the viscerocranium and then migrates to become part of neurocranium?
Frontal Bone
Male newborn patient presents with a long, narrow, wedge-shaped head.
What is the most likely diagnosis? This most likely results from premature closure of what suture?
Scaphocephaly
Sagittal suture
Male infant that has a high, tower-like head may have what disorder? From premature closure of what suture?
Brachycephaly
Coronal suture
An infant presenting with a twisted, asymmetric head may have what disorder? Due to premature closure of what suture?
Plagiocephaly
Coronal suture
A premature closure of the frontal (metopic) suture may result in what disorder? What bones does this affect?
Trigonocephaly
Frontal and Orbital bones
What is the facial primordia?
What makes up the facial primordia?
Tissue that surrounds stromodeum (primitive mouth)
- 2 Maxillary Prominences
- 2 Mandibular Prominences
- 1 Frontonasal Prominence
What separates the the facial primordia from the pharyngeal pharynx?
Oropharyngeal Membane
In what weeks does facial development occur?
Weeks 4-8
How does the mandibular prominece fold?
What can incomplete fusion result in?
- Oropharyngeal membrane disintegrates
- Medial ends of both prominences merge
Incomplete fusion can lead to chin dimple
What does the maxillary prominences give rise to?
Upper Lip
Maxilla
Secondary Palate
What pharyngeal arch do the muscles of facial expression come from?
What do they invade into?
2nd Pharyngeal Arch
Invade primordial lips and cheeks to give facial expression muscles
What does the frontonasal prominence give rise to?
Forehead
Caudal boundary of stomodeum and nose
At the end of the 4th week, what forms on the inferolateral parts of the frontal nasal prominence?
Nasal placodes
