Prenatal & Craniofacial Development- Cox Flashcards
Morphogenesis of the face is a complex 3D process involving:
patterning, outgrowth, fusion and molding of tissues
at around 22 days (3 weeks), head and neck regions comprise:
nearly half of the embryo
During the 4th week, ventral mesoderm condenses into a series of segmented bilaterally paired:
mesenchymal swellings
During the 4th week, ventral mesoderm condenses into a series of segmented bilaterally paired mesenchymal swellings also known as:
pharyngeal (branchial) arches
There are ultimately ___ pairs of pharyngeal (branchial) arches arising in a ____ order
cranial-caudal
Cranial-caudal can also be referred to as:
anterior-posterior
Thinking of the face itself now, initially __ prominences (tissue masses) surround the ___
5; stomodeum
The first mandibular arch and maxillary processes are both ___
paired structures
The first mandibular arch and maxillary processes are both paired structures and grow:
Ventro-laterally around the OM
The oropharyngeal membrane breaks down during:
4th week
(pharyngeal arch growth) The majority of growth and morphological change in facial tissue masses is driven by:
invading cranial neural crest-derived mesenchyme
The ____ forms first, then forms into the ___ . Then the ___ splits off
branchial arch 1; mandibular portion; maxillary portion
contrary to textbook literature, the paired first pharyngeal arches only give rise to ____.
mandibular processes
____ originate as separate (delayed) swellings rostral to the mandibular processes
maxillary processes
Maxillary processes occur due to the invasion by a distinct population of:
late migrating CNCC
Formation and invagination of ____ (thickening of ectoderm) in the frontonasal prominence (FNP) occurs after the maxillary and mandibular swellings occur
nasal placodes
Induction and invagination of ___ is similar to neural plate induction and invagination
nasal placodes
(morphogenesis of the midface): there are two types of morphological processes for “joining tissues” including:
- merging
- fusion
Joining of two masses already partly in contact
merging
What structures are involved in the morphological process of “merging”
- merging of maxillary and lateral nasal processes
- medial merging of mandibular processes
In morphogenesis of the midface, ___ occurs between the maxillary and lateral nasal processes (MXP & LNP)
merging
In morphogenesis of the midface, ____ occurs with the mandibular processes (MNP)
medial merging
In morphogenesis of the midface, merging occurs during the ___ week of human development
5th week
Joining of two separate tissue masses:
fusion
During formation of the primary and secondary palates, ____ occurs between the MNP, MXP/LNP:
contact-dependent fusion
Contact dependent fusion between the MNP (medial nasal process), and MXP/LNP (maxillary nasal process/Lateral nasal process) forms the:
primary palate and nares (nostrils)
Contact dependent fusion between the MNP (medial nasal process), and MXP/LNP (maxillary nasal process/Lateral nasal process) forms the primary palate and nares during the ___ week of human development
6th week
The ____ arises later rom the medial aspects of the MXPs leading to palatal shelves
secondary palate
The secondary palate (future roof of mouth) arises later from the medial aspects of the __ which lead to ___.
MXPs; palatal shelves
The secondary palate forms during the ___ week of human development
