lateral rectus- VI
levator palpebrae superioris; superior, medial and inferior recti; inferior oblique - III

43
Q

where does the tongue musculature arise from?

A

tongue itself is from the pharyngeal arches but the associated musculature comes from the occipital myotomes (superiormost segments of the paraxial mesoderm, different from the unsegmented paraxial mesoderm that populates the rest of the arches, cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and saccrococcygeal myotomes)

44
Q

45
Q

A

intrinsic laryngeal muscles (except cricothyroid)

46
Q

first arch syndrome (umbrella term)

A

malformation of eyes, ears, mandible, and plate, which together constitute 1st arch syndrome
results from insufficient migration of NCC into the 1st arch during 4th week

47
Q

which arch is the biggest arch?

A

first arch

48
Q

treacher-collins syndrome (mandibulofacial dysostosis) - first arch syndrome

A

malar hypoplasia with down-slanting palpebral fissures, defects of lower eyelids, deformed external ears, and sometimes middle and internal ears
autosomal dominant; mutations in Treacher Collins-Franceschetti syndrome 1 gene (TCOF1)

49
Q

what does the protein TCOF1 do?

A

encodes for the protein TREACLE, involved in ribosome biogenesis (impairs protein synthesis); truncates in TCS leading to increase in apoptosis of cranial NCC

50
Q

pierre robin syndrome

A

typically de novo; associated with hypoplasia of the mandible, cleft palate and defects of the eyes and ears; initiating defect is a small mandible (micrognathia)–> results in posterior displacement of the tongue–> obstruction of full closure of the palate–> results in bilateral cleft palate

51
Q

grooves are covered with…

A

ectoderm

52
Q

pouches are covered with…

A

endoderm

53
Q

1st groove will form the…

A

external acoustic meatus

54
Q

which grooves lie within the cervical sinus

A

grooves 2-4

55
Q

what does the 1st pouch turn into?

A

expands into tympanic recess–> tympanic cavity and mastoid antrum; elongates to form pharyngotympanic tube; endoderm contacts 1st pharyngeal groove –> contributes to tympanic membrane

56
Q

what forms the tympanic membrane?

A

1st membrane and intervening mesenchyme

57
Q

what does the 2nd pouch give rise to?

A

portion of tonsillar sinus; endoderm will form tonsillar epithelium; mesenchyme will form lymphoid nodules of palatine tonsil

58
Q

what does the 3rd pouch give rise to?

A

dorsal portion differentiates into inferior parathyroid gland; ventral portions form the thymus; both migrate caudally due to growth of brain and cardiac regions

59
Q

what does the 4th pouch give rise to?

A

drosal portion differentiates into superior parathyroid glands; ultimobranchial body –> fuses with thyroid gland and gives rise to parafollicular cells

60
Q

parafollicular cells are… ()dermal in identity

A

endo-dermal

61
Q

branchial anomalies: external cervical sinus (typical)

A

failure of 2nd groove and cervical sinus to obliterate- detected due to discharge of mucus; commonly associated with auricular sinuses

62
Q

branchial anomalies: internal cervical sinus (rare)

A

persistence of 2nd pouch: opens into tonsillar sinus or near palatopharyngeal arch; ingrowth of the pouch, tonsillar tissue should fill in the pouch enough

63
Q

branchial anomalies: cervical cyst

A

remnants of cervical sinus or 2nd groove; slowly enlarging, painless, free-lying cyst in the neck, inferior to angle of the mandible; accumulation of fluid and cellular debris

64
Q

branchial anomalies: cervical fistula (most extreme)

A

canal that opens into tonsillar sinus and external side of the neck; persistence of parts of 2nd groove and pouch; ascends through subcutaneous tissue and platysma to reach carotid sheath; passes between carotids and opens into tonsillar sinus - fistula can be site of infection if pathogens pass through

65
Q

what is the first endocrine gland to develop and when?

A

thyroid gland begins to develop approx. 24 dpf –> thyroid primordium

66
Q

what gives rise to the thyroid gland?

A

forms from an endodermal thickening in floor of primordial pharynx

67
Q

describe the migration of the thyroid gland

A

descends in the neck as tongue grows–> ventral to hyoid bone and laryngeal cartilages - held in place temporarily by the duct

68
Q

what connects the thyroid gland and the tongue during development?

A

thyroglossal duct - will atrophy first then degenerate

69
Q

describe the thyroid gland development from the promodium?

A

primordium is hollow, but will become solid, cellular mass; divides into R/L lobes connected by the isthmus; definitive shape by 7 weeks and thryroglossal duct will degenerate

70
Q

thyroid gland anomalies: ectopic thyroid tissue

A

cervical , accessory and/or lingual can form along the course of the duct

71
Q

thyroid gland anomalies: sublingual thyroid gland

A

forms correctly but does not descend in the neck

72
Q

thyroid gland anomalies: thyroglossal duct cyst

A

form in tongue or anterior neck- critical to distinguish from ectopic thyroid prior to surgical removal

73
Q

congenital anomalies: agenesis of thyroid gland

A

abscence of a thyroid gland or one of its lobes

74
Q

congenital anomalies: thyroid hemiagenesis

A

unilateral failure of formation- left lobe is more commonly absent (mutations in the receptor for thyroid-stimulating hormone are likely involved)

75
Q

congenital anomalies: Digeorge syndrome

A

breakdown of signaling from PA endoderm to NCC (chromosome deletion 22Q11); agenesis of thymus and parathyroid glands; congenital hypothyroidism; shortened philtrum of upper lip, low set and notched ears; nasal clefts, thyroid hypoplasia; cardiac abnormalities (defects of the aortic arch and heart)
