Neck development Flashcards
sangeetha
how many pairs of pharyngeal pouches and clefts are present in 5 week embryo
4 pairs of clefts and 5 pouches but the last is often considered as part of 4th
what are the three tissue layers surrounding the pharyngeal arches
- outer ( ectoderm)
-inner( endoderm) - between them is mesenchyme and ectomesenchyme
what does the 1st pharyngeal cleft give rise to
EAM
contributes to tympanic membrane(eardrum): the 1st cleft forms the outer layer( ectodermal)
what happens to 2nd 3rd 4th clefts
2nd pharyngeal arch proliferates and overlaps them and form a space lined by epithelium and eventually lose contact with outside forming a cervical sinus
what happens to cervical sinus during development and what can its remnants cause
it will disappear but the remnants can lead to formation of lateral cervical cyst in childhood
what can result from failure of cervical sinus to disappear
pathological conditions such as cysts and fistulas
what do the pharyngeal arches give rise to
imp organs and and structures during development
what does the 1st pharyngeal pouch give rise to
proximal part forms Eustachian tube( auditory tube)
distal portion forms middle ear cavity
contributes to the tympanic membrane : forms inner layer ( endodermal) of eardrum
what does the 2nd pharyngeal pouch give rise to
it forms palatine tonsil and by the 3rd to 5th months the tonsil is infiltrated by lymphatic tissue
what does the 3rd pharyngeal pouch give rise to
dorsal wing forms : inferior parathyroid
ventral wing forms: thymus
what happens when the thymus migrates to thorax
the thymus will pull the inferior parathyroid gland with it and parathyroid rests on dorsal surface of thyroid gland
what does the 4th pharyngeal pouch give rise to
the epithelium forms the superior parathyroid gland and this gland attaches to the migrating thyroid and is located on dorsal surface of thyroid gland
what does the 5th pharyngeal pouch give rise to
ultimobranchial body which is incorporated into thyroid gland and gives rise to C-cells that will secrete CALCITONIN
when does the thyroid gland begin to develop
thyroid gland is the 1st endocrine gland to develop around the 4th week of intrauterine life
what is the origin of the thyroid gland
so it involves endodermal cells proliferating in the floor of primitive pharynx area at the foramen cecum
