head Flashcards
how many cranial nerves
12 pairs, numbered using roman numerals in rostro-caudal direction
I - olfactory for smell
II - optic for sight
III - occulomotor for movement eyeballs
IV - trochlear for movement eyeballs
V - trigeminal
VI - abducent for movement eyeballs
VII - facial for expression muscs
VIII - vestibulo-cochlear for balance + hearing
IX - glossopharyngeal for 1st part swallowing
X - vagus for thorax + GI
XI - accessory
XII - hypoglossal for movement tongue
development mesoderm in trunk
mesoderm cavitation results splanchnic + somatic lateral plate mesoderm enclosing coelomic cavity around gut tube
mesoderm gives rise to muscs
development mesoderm in head
no cavitation, lateral plate mesoderm stays as solid tiss belt around gut tube
* intermediate mesoderm fails develop (disappears) - in trunk it forms kidneys + other structures
segments of head
- ectoderm = skin
- somites (sk musc) (in S1-7)
- endoderm = gut tube lining
- lateral plate mesoderm (sk musc) (in A1-6)
- segmental arteries -> blood
- neuraxis forms brain
- merves
adult appears not to have
distinguishing bet segments
marked externally by lateral indentations (pharyngeal clefts)
* 1st segment no have
* equiv to gill slits (sep segments in fish), just no perforate in mammals
ectoderm
forms outer epithelial covering (skin)
* somatic sensation - press, temp, pain
* innervated by somatic afferents to brain
how is ectoderm of segments 1 + 2 special
deeply invaginated into them, forming stomodeum (oral opening)
* means segments 1 + 2 no endoderm + oral opening lined ectoderm so has conscious sensory innerv
oral plate
thin plate tiss where stomodeal ectoderm meets pharyngeal endoderm
* @ boundary bet seg 2 + 3
has perforate so can swallow
how does control vary in mouth
somatic voluntary control front lined ectoderm
back lined endoderm = involuntary
endoderm
forms inner epithelial covering w unconscious involuntary control
* sensation via autonomic afferents (AA)
* motor via autonomic efferents (AE) - symp + parasymp
= gut tube
parts of endoderm
cephalic (1st) part -> pharynx
6 divisions marked by internal gill slits
* fish = perforate -> external gill slits
* mammals = no perforation but still slits on inside = pharyngeal pouches
lateral plate mesoderm
6 belts sk musc each surrounding pharynx all segs except 1
* each belt = ring donut, sepped by pharyngeal cleft externally + pharyngeal pouch internally
* each belt = pharyngeal arch
* forms special visceral musc of gut tube, e.g. muscs of chewing
* innervated by special visceral efferents (SVE) = conscious voluntary control
nerve fibres = functionally equiv to those from somite (SE)
SE vs SVE
functionally equivalent conscious voluntary motor control to structures derived from somites vs lateral plate mesoderm
somites
each seg has pair
* form sk musc of eyeball + tongue
* innerv by somatic efferents (SE) - voluntary conscious control
segmental arteries
all but 1st seg have pair
* form 6 pairs aortic arches embedded in lat plate mesoderm
* innerv by AA/AE for sensory + constrict/dilate
neuraxis
differentiates into brain
* each segment of it = meuromere
which head structures disappear
= obliterated
- somites 4 + 5 (w associated nerves)
- pharyngeal arch 5 (+ associated ectoderm, endoderm, lateral plate mesoderm, nerves + arterial arches)
- arterial arches 1 + 2
- phrayngeal clefts + pouches 5 = 6
- ectoderm of segs 6 + 7
+ therefore no nerves supplying structures that would arise from here
which structures of head fail to develop further
- endoderm of arch 2 stays as narrow band
- ectoderm of segs 3-5
which structures of head migrate
somites 6 + 7 move away from original location to floor mouth to give rise muscs tongue
development oral + nasal cavity
- paired nasal pits invaginate from ectoderm
- nasal cavity breaks through to oral cavity
- palatine process grows w palatine bone + endodermal soft palate (develops from inside)
R + L nasal cavities sepped by nasal septum
what happens if lateral palatine folds fail develop
cleft palate
* since palate seps oral + nasal cavities this means milk -> nasal cavity -> out nostrils
* can surgically repair but specialist + spenny
formation tongue epithelium
- front = ectoderm of arch 1
- back = endoderm of arch 3
endoderm of arch 2 fails develop further = tiny band bet others
development tongue musc
migration of paired somites 6 + 7
* loads = tongue super mobile w intrinsic + extrinsic to move + contract it
