Week 3 - Ach (Embryo of Face/Palate) Flashcards
Where do the facial prominences develop?
Rostral end of the embryo surrounding the rostral opening of the primitive gut (stomodeum).
The five facial prominences form as what cells proliferat and migrate into the pharyngeal arches?
Neural crest cells
What makes up the frontonasal prominence?
Mesenchyme ventral to the brain vesicles
What makes up the bilateral maxillary prominences?
Extensions from the first part of the first pharyngeal arch mesenchyme
What makes up the bilateral mandibular prominences?
Second part of the first pharyngeal arch mesenchyme
What structures does the frontonasal prominence give rise to?
- Forehead
- Dorsal aspect of the nose
- Lateral nasal prominences
- sides of the nose
- Medial nasal prominences
- intermaxillary segment
- midline of the nose
- nasal septum
- philtrum (midline portion of upper lip)
- upper jaw component of maxilla
- Primary Palate
What structures do the bilateral maxillary prominences give rise to?
- Medial nasal prominences
- Check/mid-region of the face
- Most of the Maxilla
- Most of the Upper Lip
- Secondary palate
- Lateral nasal prominences
- Nasolacrimal groove
- Nasolacrimal sac & duct
What structures do the bilateral mandibular prominences form?
- Lower lip
- Jaw
- Inferior part of the face
What are placodes?
Ectodermal thickenings with neurogenic potential that appear in pairs on the developing head.
***Special senses
What are the thre placodes? What do they become?
- Lens placodes –> lens of the eye
- Otic placodes –> Inner ear
- Nasal placodes –> nasal cavity and part of upper lip
What is the Stomodeum?
Depression in the ectoderm surrounded by five facial prominences.
***Future site of the mouth.
What forms the floor of the Oropharyngeal (buccopharyngeal) Membrane?
Surface ectoderm from the stomodeum
Where is the Oropharyngeal (buccopharyngeal) Membrane located?
At the junction of the anterior 2/3 and posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
When does the Oropharyngeal (buccopharyngeal) Membrane break down and open the primitive gut to the amniotic cavity?
Around day 24
When is the most critical period of development of the palate?
End of Week 6 - Beginning of Week 9
