24
Q

Five placodes form…

A

 hypophyseal placode – Rathke’s pouch
 olfactory placode – epithelium of nasal cavity
 ventrolateral placode – ganglia of CN VII, IX and X
 dorsolateral placode – otic placodes (membranous labyrinth, spiral and vestibular ganglia)
 intermediate placode – profundal and trigeminal placodes – trigeminal ganglia

25

6th week

27
Q

What is acrania?

A

No calavria, associated with anecephaly

28
Q

What is craniosyntosis?

A

Premature closure of the sutures

29
Q

What is scaphocephaly?

A

Sagittal suture closes -> skull is LONG and NARROW

30
Q

What is oxycephaly?

A

Coronal suture closes -> skull becomes TALL

31
Q

What is plagiocephaly?

A

Asymmetric closure -> skull become twisted

32
Q

What can cause plagiocephaly?

A

Dysfunction of CN IX and X

33
Q

What is microcephaly?

A

Fontanelles close early and sutures close during the first year; a CNS defect whereby the brain and calvaria fail to grow; accompanied by severe mental retardation

34
Q

Choanal atresia is…

A

Nasal cavity not continuous with pharynx

35
Q

What is the acronym for choanal atresia?

A

C = coloboma of the iris, choroid
H = heart defect
A = atresia of choanae
R = retarded growth
G = genitourinary anomaly
E = ear defect

36
Q

What is microstomia?

A

Excessive merging of maxillary and mandibular prominences

37
Q

Cleft lip involves…

A

Only the lip

38
Q

Anterior cleft involves…

A

Alveolar part of the maxilla, anterior to the incisive foramen

39
Q

Posterior cleft involves…

A

Secondary palate through soft and hard palate

A

From upper lip to medial margin of orbit

42
Q

Median cleft of the lower lip involves…

A

Failure of mandibular prominence to fuse
