Session 2 - Embryology of H&N Flashcards
At what week do pharyngeal arches develop?
4
How many pharyngeal arches are there? What are they numbered?
1-6, 5 pharyngeal arches. Number 5 is obliterated.
What 3 structures does each pharyngeal arch have associated with it?
Artery, nerve, and cartilage bar
Describe the formation of the nerual tube
- Notochord signals cause overlying ectoderm to thicken
- Edges elevate out of plane of the disk and curl towards each other, creating the neural tube.
What part of the neural tube forms the brain?
anterior end
Name the 4 functional regions of the neural tube
- Prosencephalon = forebrain
- Mesencephalon = midbrain
- Rhombencephalon = hindbrain
- Spinal cord
How many cranial nerves are there? Which cranial nerves are derived in the forebrain?
12 cranial nerves
1 and 2 derived in forebrain
What is the facial skeleton derived from?
Frontonasal prominence and 1st PA
Where are the muscles of mastication derived from?
PA1
Where are the muscles of facial expression derived from?
PA2
What are the derivatives of PA1 and 2?
1 - Facial skeleton and muscles of mastication
2 - Muscles of facial expression
What are the derivatives of PA 3 and 6?
3 - stylopharyngeus
6 - Intrinsic muscles of the larynx
What are the derivates of PA4?
Cricothyroid, levator palatini, constrictors of the pharynx
