Prenatal Craniofacial Development Flashcards
1
Q
- During what week does the ventral mesoderm condense into a series of segmented bilaterally poured, mesenchymal swellings?
A
Week 4
2
Q
- How many pharyngeal (branchial) arches are there?
A
5
3
Q
- What facial prominences surround the stomodeum?
A
a. Frontonasal prominence
b. First arch (mandibular process)
c. Maxillary process
4
Q
- The 1st mandibular arch and maxillary process are both
A
a. Paired structures
5
Q
- The mandibular and maxillary processes are both derived from what branchial arch?
A
Arch 1
6
Q
- The majority of growth and morphological change in facial tissue masses is driven by what?
A
a. Invading cranial neural crest-derived mesenchyme (CNCC)
7
Q
- The 1st paired pharyngeal arches only give rise to what?
A
a. Mandibular processes
8
Q
- Do maxillary processes originate as (separate) swellings from the mandibular process?
A
Yes
9
Q
- You get the formation and invagination of nasal (nostrils) placodes (thickening of ectoderm)
where?
A
a. Frontonasal prominence (FNP)
10
Q
- What are the 2 types of morphological processes for ‘joining’ tissues?
A
a. 1st merging
b. 2nd fusion
11
Q
- This is the joining of 2 masses already partly in contact
A
a. 1st merging
12
Q
- What types of ‘merging’ occur?
A
a. merging of Maxillary (MXP) and Lateral nasal processes (LNP)
b. Medial merging of mandibular processes (MNP)
13
Q
- This is the joining of 2 separate tissue masses
A
a. 2nd fusion
14
Q
- This forms the primary palate and nares (nostrils)
A
a. Contact-dependent fusion between MNP and MXP/LNP
15
Q
- The 2nd palate arises later from the medial aspects of the MXP which are
A
a. Palate shelves
16
Q
- The 2nd palate arises later from what?
A
a. Medial aspects of MXP
17
Q
- These primarily determine facial form/shape
A
a. CNCC
