regresses

30
Q

Pharyngeal pouch 5

A

Atypical & usually lumped in with pouch 4. Creates ultimobranchial body which creates parafollicular (C) cells that secrete calcitonin

31

35
Q

Branchial groove/cleft 2-4 forms

A

36
Q

Purpose of palate

A

separates oral & nasal cavities, except in regions of pharynx

37
Q

Incisive foramen

A

landmark between primary & secondary palate

38
Q

secondary palate

A

forms as paired shelves (lateral palantine processes) that lift from maxillary prominences

39
Q

primary palate

A

forms as part of intermaxillary segment

40
Q

Thyroid is initially ______ to median lung bud

A

caudal

41
Q

what is the thyroid gland’s final location?

A

midline location immediately anterior to the trachea

42
Q

What causes thyroglossal duct cyst?

A

If the thyroglossal duct does not atrophy

43
Q

What is the origin of the thyroid gland?

A

The primitive pharynx and the neural crest cells. Rudimentary thyroid comes from NCC and bulk of the gland comes from primary pharynx.

44
Q

Initial descent of thyroid gland follows the ________ _____ & is _______ to pharyngeal gut

A

primitive heart; anterior

45
Q

What connects the thyroid gland to the tongue during the descent?

A

Thyroglossal duct

46
Q

When does the thyroid gland finish its descent?

A

7th gestational week

47
Q

Clinical features of thyroglossal duct cyst

A

Painless, asymptomatic midline swelling

48
Q

Thyroglossal duct sinus/fistula

A

If a TDC ruptures & forms a fistula

49
Q

Ectopic thyroid gland

A

May occur anywhere along the descent tract, but is most common at the base of the tongue/posterior to foramen cecum

50
Q

Clinical features of ectopic thyroid gland

A

may be associated with hypothyroidism, gland may enlarge due to high thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) & cause localized symptoms

51
Q

Thyroid gland forms from proliferation of ___________ _________ __________ on median surface of developing ___________ ___________.

A

endodermal epithelial cells; pharyngeal floor

52
Q

Where is the site of thyroid development?

A

Foramen cecum

53
Q

Branchial cleft cysts

A

AKA branchial cleft remnants. Not midline structures, can develop bilaterally or unilaterally.

54
Q

How is the intermaxillary segment formed

A

Formed by fusion of paired medial nasal prominences

55
Q

what does the intermaxillary segment form?

A

Philtrum, nasal septum, premaxillary part of maxilla, primary palate

56
Q

The palate is made up of what 3 parts?

A

Primary palate, secondary palate, incisive foramen

57
Q

Anterior cleft malformation

A

Cleft lip

58
Q

Incomplete fusion of maxillary prominence with medial nasal prominence

cleft lip

59
Q

Which gender is cleft lip more common in?

A

Males

60
Q

What is a proposed cause of cleft lip?

A

advanced maternal age

61
Q

A

Cleft palate

63
Q

Which gender is cleft palate more common in?

A

females

64
Q

Causes of cleft palate

A

smallness of palatal shelves, failure of shelves to elevate, inhibition of the fusion process itself, failure of the tongue to drop between shelves because of micrognathia

65

  3. CHD
68
Q

DiGeorge syndrome - causes

A

failure of neural crest cells to migrate to certain areas of pharyngeal pouches
