Reading Week 1 Flashcards
What forms the frontonasal process?
the mesenchyme of the developing forebrain
What type of tissue gives rise to the nasal and oral placodes?
local thickening of ectoderm
When do the two mandibular processes fuse in the midline to form the lower jaw ?
in the 6 week old embryo
What is the fully developed lip innervated by?
only the maxillary division of the trigeminal nerve
What forms the facial muscles?
derived from mesenchyme of the second pharyngeal arches
What are the facial muscles, primitive lips and cheeks innervated by?
the facial nerve
What is the mesenchyme of the frontonasal process formed from?
cranial neural crest cells
What is the mesenchyme of the maxillary and mandibular processes derived from?
cranial neural crest cells and mesoderm
What are the four fundamental mechanisms that underlie all embryonic development?
growth, morphogenesis, cel differentiation, and pattern formation
What turns on sonic hedgehog signaling (Shh)?
retinoic acid
What is Shh involved in?
regulation of craniofacial development
What do the nasal placodes form?
the olfactory epithelium
What do the lens placodes form?
eventually become the lens of the eyes
What do the otic placodes form?
first part of the ears to form and will eventually become the inner ear
What is holoproscencephaly?
congenital abnormality where the developing forebrain fails to divide into separate hemispheres and ventricles
What is macrostomia?
enlarged oral orifice
What is microstomia?
small oral orifice
What is astomia?
lack of oral orifice
What forms facial clefts ?
failure of fusion of maxillary and medial nasal processes
-can be unilateral or bilateral
What is formed by the first pharyngeal arch?
the maxillary and mandibular processes
What causes first arch syndromes?
insufficient migration of neural crest cells and decreased cell proliferation
when does the secondary palate form?
between the 6th and 8th week of development
