CH 8: Oral Embryology Flashcards
______ is the study of prenatal development throughout the stages before birth.
Embryology.
______ is the study of the structure and function of tissue on a microscopic level.
Histology.
What are the three periods of prenatal development?
Preimplantation period, embryonic period, and fetal period.
Which period of prenatal development is the most critical, and why?
The embryonic period is the most critical because during there weeks, development begins in all major structured of the body.
What are the three primary embryonic layers?
Ectoderm (outer layer), mesoderm (middle layer), and endoderm (inner layer).
Which branchial arch forms the bones, muscles, nerves of the face, and lower lip?
The first branch known as the mandibular arch.
Which branchial arch forms the side and front of the neck?
The second branch known as the hyoid arch.
What week of prenatal development does the palate begin to form?
The fifth week.
What are the three stages of palate formation?
- Formation of the primary palate.
- Formation of the secondary palate.
- Fusion of the palate.
What month does the developmental stage of the human face occur?
4 month.
When the embryo is __ to __ weeks old, the first signs of tooth development are found in the anterior mandibular region.
5 to 6 weeks old.
By the ___ week, all primary teeth are developed and the development of permanent teeth has begun.
17th week.
What are the stages of tooth development and what are their time spans?
- Initiation stage. 6th-7th week
- Bud stage. 8th week
- Cap Stage. 9th-10th week
- Bell stage. 11th-12th week
- Appostion stage. varies per tooth
- Maturation stage. varies per tooth
What happens in the initiation stage?
(Induction) Ectoderm lining stomodeum gives rise to oral epithelium and then to the dental lamina, adjacent to deeper mesenchyme and neural crest cells and separated by a basement membrane.
What happens in the bud stage?
(Proliferation) Growth of dental lamina into the bud that penetrates growing mesenchyme.
What happens during the cap stage?
(Proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis) Enamel organ forms into cap, surrounding mass of dental papilla from the mesenchyme and surrounded by mass of dental sac also from mesenchyme: formation of the tooth germ.
What happens during the bell stage?
(Proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis) Differentiation of enamel organ into bell with four cell types and dental papilla into two cell types.
What happens in the apposition stage?
(Induction, proliferation) Dental tissue secreted as matrix in successive layers.
