Q

What happens to neural crest cells

24
Q

What is the neurocranium

A

Part of the skull that which forms a protective
case around the brain

25
Q

What is the viscerocranium

A

Part of the skull which forms the skeleton of the face

26
Q

How is intramembranous bone formed

A

Bone is deposited directly into primitive mesenchymal tissue

Needle-like bone spicules form, which progressively radiate from the primary
ossification centres to the periphery. Progressive bone formation results in the
fusion of adjacent bony centres

27
Q

What is made of intramembraneous bone

A

vault of the skull, the maxilla and most of the mandible

28
Q

How is endochondral bone formed

A

bones are preceded by a hyaline cartilage ‘model’

Several centres of ossification which eventually fuse

29
Q

What does endochondral bone form

A

base of the skull

30
Q

How is base of skull made

A

series of cartilages forms the base of skull.

They undergo endochondral
ossification from multiple
centres, starting with the
basi-occiput at 10-12
weeks.

At birth cartilagenous
growth centres remain
between the sphenoid and
occipital bones and in the
nasal septum.

31
Q

The neurocranium can be divided into what

A

flat bones of the vault which develop intramembranously and the endochondral elements of the base of the skull

32
Q

What age does skull stop growing

A

7

33
Q

What occurs at the 3 month in vault of the skull

A

Intramembranous ossification of the vault in several centres

34
Q

When do fontanelles close

A

anterior fontanelle closes at about 2 years of age
the posterior at about 1 year

35
Q

how does the maxilla and mandible form

A

intramembranously

36
Q

What do the mandible and maxilla develop adjacen to

A

pre-existing cartilaginous
skeletons - the nasal
capsule and Meckel’s
cartilage

37
Q

How does the different parts of the mandible form

A

They form as several units all responding to different growth stimulate

A condylar unit which forms the articulation
and contains the largest secondary
cartilage formation.

An angular unit which forms in response to
the lateral pterygoid and masseter muscles;

A coronoid unit which responds to
temporalis muscle development (muscular processes).

An alveolar unit which forms only if teeth
are developing.

The body of the mandible forms in
response to the inferior dental nerve

38
Q

what are the 3 main sites secondary cartlidge formation of the mandible

A

the condylar cartilage, the coronoid cartilage and at the symphyseal end of
each half of the bony mandible. The cartilages appear between 12 and 14
weeks I.U.

39
Q

When do the cartilidges dissapear of the mandible

A

coronoid cartilage disappears long before birth and the symphyseal just
after birth. Growth continues at the condylar cartilage until about 20 years of age.

40
Q

What precedes the growth of the mandible

A

Meckels cartiliage

41
Q

What is the primary skeleton of the upper face

A

Nasal capsule

42
Q

What does primary abnormality mean and give examples

A

Defect in the structure of an organ or part of an organ that can be traced back to an anomaly in it’s development

spina bifida, cleft lip, CHD

43
Q

What does secondary abnormality mean and give examples

A

Interruption of the normal development of an organ that can be traced back to other influences

Teratogenic agents; infection (rubella virus), chemical
(thalidomide), chemical (lithium)

Trauma; amniotic bands

44
Q

What does deformation mean

A

Anomalies that occur due to outer mechanical effects on
existing structures

45
Q

What does Agenesia mean

A

Absence of an organ due to failed development during
embryonic period

46
Q

What does Sequence mean

A

Single factor results in numerous secondary effects (PierreRobin)

47
Q

What does Syndrome mean

A

Group of anomalies that can be traced to a common origin (Trisomy 21 in Down’s Syndrome)

48
Q

Give examples of some maxillary hypoplasia facial syndromes

A
