Prenatal Craniofacial Development Flashcards
what are the ectodermal derivatives of cranial neural crest cells to craniofacial tissues
- epithelium of mouth/nose
- skin
- nervous system
- teeth
-eye
what are the mesodermal derivatives of the cranial neural crest cells for craniofacial tissues
-bone/cartilage
- fat
- muscle
what are the endodermal derivatives of neural crest cells to craniofacial tissues
- respiratory tract
- GI tract: esophagus to rectum
- thyroid glands
at 22 days, the head and neck region comprises ~ ___ of the embryo
half
what happens to the pharyngeal arches during the 4th week
ventral mesoderm condenses into a series of segmented bilaterally paired mesenchymal swellings
how many pairs of arches are there and in what order do they arise
- 5 pairs
- arise in cranial- caudal order
what early prominences surround the stomodeum
- frontonasal prominence
- first arch (> mandibular process)
- maxillary process (delayed appearance
which of the early prominences are paired structures
first arch and maxillary process
how do the first arch and the maxillary process grow
ventro laterally around the oropharyngeal membrane (OM)
what is the majority of the growth and morphological change in facial tissue mass driven by
the invading cranial neural crest derived mesenchyme
the paired first pharyngeal arches only give rise to the ____
mandibular processes
how do maxillary processes originate
as separate swellings rostral to the mandibular processes
what are the nasal placodes
thickening of ectoderm
where does formation and invagination of nasal placodes occur
in frontonasal prominence
what is the induction and invagination of nasal placodes similar to
neural plate induction and invagination
what are the two types of morphological processes for joining tissues and define each
- merging: joining of two masses already partly in contact
- fusion: joining of two separate tissue masses
what happens in merging in morphogenesis of the midface
- merging of the maxillary and lateral nasal processes
- medial merging of mandibular processes
what happens in fusion
-contact dependent fusion between MNP and MXP/LNP
- forms the primary plate and nares
