Q

What comprises a pharyngeal arch? What does each pharyngeal arch develop into?

A

Mesenchymal tissue. They each develop into its own artery, nerve, muscle, and skeletal element of the head and neck.

Q

What are the two methods of the formation of the mandibular bone? Which portions specifically?

Study These Flashcards
A

Intermembranous Ossification (majority) NEURAL REGION and endochondrial ossification ARTICULAR REGION

21
Q

What are the main nerves of concern for a dentist? What anatomical landmark are their embryological origins?

Study These Flashcards
A

The main nerves of concern are V-Trigeminal,VII-Facial,IX-Glossopharyngeal,X-Vagus. They are EPIBRANCHIAL PLACODES.

22
Q

Which arch and muscles are innervated by V?

Study These Flashcards
A

V-Trigeminal: 1st Pharyngeal Arch (BOTH Max and Mand processes). Innervates Muscles of Mastication

23
Q

Which arch and muscles are innervated by VII?

Study These Flashcards
A

VII-Facial: 2nd Pharyngeal Arch. Muscles of Facial Expression

24
Q

Which arch and muscles are innervated by IX?

Study These Flashcards
A

IX-Glossopharyngeal: 3rd Pharyngeal Arch. Muscles of Swallow Reflex

25
Which arch(es) and muscles are innervated by X?
X-Vagus:Arches 4-6. Muscles of Swallow Reflex
26
What does the first pharyngeal CLEFT yield?
The 1st pharyngeal cleft gives rise to the external auditory meatus. Clefts 2,3,4 fuse to temporarily form a cervical sinus that will disappear.
27
Which pouch is involved with the formation of the thyroid gland? Which specific cells does it give rise to in the thyroid?
The ULTIMOBRANCHIAL body of the 4th pouch. Gives rise to parafollicular or C-Cells that secrete calcitonin.
28
What do the endodermal layer and ectodermal layers form in the 1st POUCH and CLEFT respectively come together to form?
The tympanic membrane!
29
Name four derivatives of the 1st pharyngeal Pouch
1)Tympanic Membrane 2)Tympanic Cavity 3)Mastoid Antrum 4)Auditory(Eustachian) Tubes
30
Name the derivative(s) of Pharyngeal Pouch Number TWO
TONSILS: Palatine Tonsils
31
Name the two derivatives of the 3rd Pharyngeal Pouch
INFERIOR Parathyroid Glands, Thymus
32
Name the two derivatives of the 4th Pharyngeal Pouch
Superior Parathyroid Glands, Ultimobranchial Bodies
33
Which anatomical landmark did the Thyroid originate?
The foramen cecum
34
Which duct is formed from invaginated pharyngeal epithelium?
Thyroglossal duct. (((Thyroid + Tongue)))
35
Which cells produce the metabolic hormones of the thyroid T3 and T4?
follicular cells
36
Where is the most common thyroglossal cyst located?
By the adam's apple
37
What is the most common cause of a lateral cervical cyst?
if the cervical sinus from the 2nd, 3rd, 4th pharyngeal CLEFTS are not completely obliterated
38
What are the 5 elevated prominences of the embryo that develop the face?
1)Frontonasal 2)Maxillary 3)Medial Nasal 4)Lateral Nasal 5)Mandibular
39
What structure invaginates to form nasal pits?
Nasal Placodes
40
Compare the mandibular and maxillary process development. Which one starts connected? Which one fuses?
Mandible begins connected and the initial groove goes away. Maxilla begins separate and merges.
41
Which two main facial prominences combine to make the INTERMAXILLARY segment?
1) Maxillary prominence 2) Medial Nasal Prominence
42
When the maxillary prominence and the medial nasal prominences join what 3 structures arise?
1) Philtrum 2)the 4 incisor portion of the maxilla 3)TRIangular primary palate
43
What does the MAIN portion of the maxillary palate develop from?
The palatine shelves. End result=secondary plate
44
At what junction is the incisive foramen?
The junction between the PRIMARY palate and the palatal shelves.
45
What is the dividing landmark between the anterior and posterior cleft deformities?
The incisive foramen
46
Most common: cleft lip or cleft palate?
Cleft lip (male dominated)
47
Which two pharyngeal arches does the tongue develop from?
1st (tuburculum impar)and 3rd (copula-root of tongue)
48
Which arch yields the epiglottis?
4th
49
What is the common name for Ankyloglossia?
Tongue-tie:from not enough apoptosis
