Q

What period takes place during the first week after conception? Describe what occurs in this period.

A

Preimplantation period

An oocyte (arrested in metaphase 2) is penetrated by sperm to form a diploid zygote. The zygote undergoes cleavage to form a solid morula (day4), then a vesicle called a blastocyst.

Q

True or false… if nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 1, it is possible to produce normal haploid gametes.

A

False. None of the gametes will be normal as half will be N + 1 while the other half will be N - 1.

If, however, nondisjunction occurs in meiosis 2, you will get half normal gametes, one N + 1, and one N - 1.

Gives rise to the inferior parathyroid glands (dorsal wing) and the thymus (ventral wing)

Note that the inferior parathyroid gland ends up inferior to the superior parathyroid glands because the inferiors travels with they thymus before moving over to the thyroid

115
Q

What does the fourth pharyngeal pouch form?

A

Gives rise to the superior parathyroid glands (dorsal wing) and the ultimobranchial body (ventral wing) (this is an embryonic structure in which parafolliclar cells (C Cells) are derived, which produce calcitonin in the thyroid)

116
Q

True or false… the thymus, since it develops from pouches (which are bilateral) it must migrate downwards and towards the midline to meet up with its counterpart

A

True

117
Q

What are some abnormalities resulting from defects in migration of the thymus?

A

Cervical thymus - cord of thymus persists in the neck on its path of descent

Accessory thymus - piece of thymus remains in the path of descent

Note that this is usually unilateral

Note that these abnormalities can also occur with the parathyroid gland and thyroid gland

118
Q

What is Digeorge syndrome?

A

CATCH 22

Chromosome 22 is missing. Failure of 3rd and 4th pouches to differentiate into thymus and parathyroid due to neural crest defects. Symptoms are…
Cardiac abnormality (tetralogy of fallot)
Abnormal facies
Thymic aplasia (immunocompromised)
Cleft palate
Hypocalcemia/hypoparathyroidism

119
Q

What is tetralogy of fallot?

A

Defect in the heart. It consists of…

Ventricular septal defect
Pulmonic stenosis
Right ventricular hypertrophy
Overriding aorta

120
Q

What are pharyngeal membranes?

A

Form where the epithelia of the grooves and pouches approach each other. Tympanic membrane!

Remaining regions between arches do not remain as membranes, they are obliterated during development

The oropharyngeal membrane is not a pharyngeal membrane!

121
Q

Hox genes are involved in body ____. They typically involve switching on cascades of other genes

A

Segmentation

122
Q

Neural crest cells with different ___ identities as determined by ____ expression, migrate from the ___ into the ____

A

A-P

Hox

Rhombomeres

Pharyngeal arches

123
Q

Loss of ___ expression causes arch 2 to lose its ___ identity. Arch 2 will then give rise to ______ structures

A

Hox

A-P

Duplicate arch 1

124
Q

Describe how neural crest is patterned in both the A-P (anterior posterior) orientation and proximal-distal

A

Neural crest is organized A-P by Hox genes (inter-arch). Neural crest is organized proximal-distal by DLx genes (intra-arch). The combination of these genes will determine what structure should be formed by the neural crest cells

125
Q

At what week does the tongue begin to develop?

A

Week 4

126
Q

In which arch is the median tongue bud located?

A

Arch 1 (week 4). This will later split into the distal tongue buds (week 5)

127
Q

Describe each arch’s contribution to the development of the tongue

A

Arch 1: forms anterior 2/3 of the tongue epithelium.
Arch 2: it is covered up as arch3 portion grows
Arch 3: forms most of the remaining 1/3 of the tongue.
Arch 4: forms just a bit of the tongue at the very back of the throat

128
Q

At week 4, arch 2 forms a midline swelling called the ____. During weeks 5-6, this is overgrown by the _____ of arch 3. The ____ arises posterior to this structure.

A

Copula

Hypopharyngeal eminence

Epiglottis

129
Q

The tongue muscles (besides palatoglossus) are not pharyngeal in origin. Rather, they come from ____

A

Occipital somites.

130
Q

A review of tongue innervation. Describe each nerve’s role in the tongue. 5,7,9,10,12

A
5 - sensory, anterior 2/3
7 - taste, anterior 2/3
9 - sensory/taste, posterior 1/3
10 - sensory,  in pharynx 
12 - tongue muscles (besides palatoglossus)
131
Q

The terminal sulcus in the tongue divides the ___ and the _____.

A

Oral tongue (anterior 2/3, coming from arch 1, CN 5 innervation)

Pharyngeal tongue (posterior 1/3, coming from arch 3 mostly, CN IX innervation)

132
Q

What is the foramen cecum?

A

Structure in the midline of the tongue that is the site of thyroid primordium

133
Q

The thyroid forms from an _____ just posterior to the floor of the ___ arch (note that this is not a pharyngeal pouch). The thyroid does not form bilateral like the thymus, it originates on the ____. As the thyroid descends/elongates, it forms the ____, which connects to the tongue at the _____.This will allow the gland to remain in contract with the tongue early, but the ____ is obliterated later in development.

A
Endodermal diverticulum 
1st 
Midline
Thyroglossal duct
Foramen cecum 
Thyroglossal duct
134
Q

Thyroglossal duct cysts/sinuses may form due to…

A

Failure of the thyroglossal duct to completly pinch off and degenerate. The cysts/sinuses may form anywhere along the course followed by the thyroglossal duct.
These anomalies a typically asymptomatic and painless unless infected. Note that these will always form at the MIDLINE

135
Q

How can you tell the difference between a cervical cyst/sinus and a thyroglossal cyst/sinus?

A

Thyroglossal cyst/sinuses will always form at the midline.

136
Q

How can you diagnose a patient with ectopic thyroid?

A

Giving the patient radioactive iodine, taking a radiograph, and located where the iodine went.

Ectopic thyroids are less functional than normal thyroids
