Study These Flashcards
A

The palatine tonsil

24
Q

What does pharyngeal pouch III form?

Study These Flashcards
A

Inferior parathyoid gland and thymus

25
What does pharyngeal pouch IV form?
superior parathyroid gland
26
What forms the mandibular arch?
pharyngeal arch I
27
What forms the hyoid arch?
pharyngeal arch II
28
Where does the maxixiallry process come from?
Branches from the mandibular arch to above it
29
When does the tongue begin development?
In the 4th week
30
Where do the tongue muscles develop from?
mesoderm cells further back in spinal cord, not form pharyngeal area
31
What part of the tongue is formed by pharyngeal arch I?
mucosa of anterior 2/3 tongue from lateral lingual swellings
32
What part of the tongue is formed by pharyngeal arch II?
taste buds on anterioe 2/3
33
What part of the tongue is formed by pharyngeal arch III?
mucosa and tastebuds of posterior 1/3
34
Which arch do the majority of defects affect?
1
35
What can pharyngeal arch defects affect?
1. underdeveloped mandible 2. absent or reduced malleus or incus 3. malformed external ears
36
What happens at 4 weeks in relation to facial development?
1. pharyngeal arches have developed 2. mouth is a slit between frontonasal processes and mandibular processes 3. nose and nasal cavities will form from nasal pits
37
Where does the frontonasal process arise from?
grows from ectomesenchymal cells that migrate to the region and begin to form new growth
38
Where do the nasal placodes arise from?
in the frontal nasal process due to the growth of ectomesenchyme cells
39
What will the nasal placodes eventually form?
olfactory epithelium in the roof of the nasal cavity
40
How is the intermaxillary process formed?
from fusion of the medial sides of the nasal pits (the primary nasal septum)
41
What will the intermaxillary process form?
1. primary nasal septum 2. primary palate 3. philtrum
42
How is the primary palate formed?
Same tissue as the primary septum (intermaxillary process) extends out horizontally and posteriorly
43
How is the primitive nasal cavity separated?
by the primary nasal septum which extends horizontally at its inferior border as the primary palate
44
How is the philtrum formed?
from the intermaxillary tissue which fuses on both sides of the maxillary process
45
How is the maxillary process formed?
New tissue grows dorsally from the mandibular arch
46
What will the maxillary process form?
the cheeks and secondary palate
47
What do the maxillary processes fuse with ?
1. the mandible below 2. fuse with lateral nasal processes 3. fuse with medial nasal processes and intermaxillary tissue to form philtrum
48
What is macrostomia?
incomplete fusion between maxillary and mandibular processes
49
What is the secondary palate?
1. the roof of the mouth which separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity 2. anterior 2/3 is bone (hard palate) 3. posterior 1/3 is several soft muscles with roles in breathing and swallowing (soft palate)
50
What is the hard palate formed from?
from outgrowths of the maxilla called the palatine processes and the horizontal plates of the palatine bones
51
What happens to the palate at 7-8 weeks?
1. tongue forms in floor of mouth and fills the oro-nasal space 2. palatine processes are therefore deflected down towards the tongue
52
What happens to the palate at 8 weeks?
1. developing brain acquires a cervical flecture which lifts the head away from the cardiac bulge 2. mandible widens allowing tongue to drop to floor of mouth 3. palatine shelves elevate into horizontal position above tongue
53
What happens to the palate at week 10?
1. all processes have grown to the point where they make contact and fuse 2. palatine processes fuse with each other, primary palate, and nasal septum
