Branchial arches Flashcards
What do the branchial arches form?
The pulmonary and cardiac casculature, and the cranial nerves that innervate the face, neck, heart and lung.
The left and right pulmonary artery?
Deoxgenated venous return is circulated from right ventricle to the left and right lung.
Pulmonary veins?
Oxygenated blood returned to left arterium/ventricle
Aortic arch?
Oxygenated blood circulated to head, neck and body
The 3 different arteries of the aortic arch
- Branchiocephalic artery
- Right common carotid
- Right subclavian
- Left common artery
- Left subclavian artery
See AS39
What does each pharyngeal arch consist of?
A core of meschymal tissue covered on the outside by surface ectoderm on the outside.
Inside: by epithelium of endodermal origin.
Where is the mesenchym cells that compose of the pharyngeal arch derive from?
Paraxial and lateral plate mesoderm
What does the core of each arch receive?
Substantial numbers of neural crest cells.
These migrate into the arhces to contribute to skeletal components of the face
Image of the structure of a pharyngeal arch?
AS40
Differenec between pouches and clefts?
Pounches are on the inside while clefts are on the outside
Name the 4 branchial arches?
- I
- II
- III
- IV/VI
How many are made initially?
Produces 6
How is there only 4 left?
V is lost
IV/VI fuse
What does the IV/VI give rise to?
Forms the thyroid and cuneiform catilage of the larynx
Visual on the location of the branchial arches?
AS41
What day did the branchial arches change?
Day 21
What week of develop do the arches appear?
4th-5th week of development
What does the first branchial arch form?
Cleft: Skin of jaw
Pounch: Auditory tube
What does the second branchial arch form?
**Cleft: **External component of middle ear
**Pounch: **Tonsils and lymphaties
What does the third branchial arch form?
**Cleft: **Skin of ear
**Pounch: **Thymus and thyroid
What does the 4th/6th branchial arch form?
**Cleft: **Neck
**Pounch: **Thyroid
What 3 things does each brancial arch have?
Why are they important?
- Nerve suuply for neurogenesis
- Blood supply for angiogenesis
- Cartilage and connective tissue
What does neural crest cells arise from?
Ectoderm at the margins of the neural tube.
What kind of potency is neural crest cells?
Multipotent.
What do molecular quos do to the neural crest cells
Tell the cells to migrate downwards and begin the differentiation into the tissue types at each branical arch.
Molecular induces and repressors control?
Gene expression through Slug/Snail zinc finger transcription factors.
