During the 4th week of embryonic development the tongue appears in the form of 2 lateral lingual swelling and one medial swelling, the so-called: foramen cecum sulcus terminalis tuberculum impar epiglottic swelling
tuberculum impar
the three swellings of the tongue (2 lateral and 1 medial tuberculum impar) seen in the 4th week of development originate from the _
1st branchial arch
A second median swelling called the copula is formed by mesoderm of
2nd, 3rd, and 4th branchial arches
the lateral lingual tongue swellings overgrow the tuberculum impar and merge with each other, forming the
anterior 2/3 of the tongue
the posterior third of the tongue originates from the
2nd, 3rd and 4th pharyngeal arches
the extreme posterior part of the tongue is derived from the
4th pharyngeal arch
the anterior two thrids of the tongue are separated from the posterior 3rd by a V-shaped groove called the
terminal sulcus
the foramen cecum, the remnant of the proximal end of the __ is located at the apex of the terminal sulcus
thyroglossal duct
the _ are stacked _ swellings of tissue that appear inferior to the stomodeum (primitive mouth) during the 4th week of development
branchial arches
bilateral swellings
the branchial arches are _ pairs of _ shaped bars with a core _ which is formed by mesoderm and neural crest cells that migrate to the neck region
six pairs of U shaped bars
core mesenchyme
the branchial arhes are covered externally by ectodermal lined __
branchial clefts
the branchial arches are internally lined by
endodermal lined branchial pouches
the branchial arches support the
lateral walls of the primitive pharynx
Bifid tongue is the result of __
lack of fusion of the distal tongue buds (lateral swellings) = common in south African infants
most tongue muscles develop from myoblasts originating in the _
occipital somites
the musculature is innervated by the _ nerve
hypoglossal
the _ branchial arch is so rudimentary (immature, undeveloped) that they are absent in humans or are included with the 4th branchial arches
5th
in what weeks of development do the major salivary glands begin as epithelial proliferations or buds from the ectodermal lining of the primitive mouth
6-8th week in utero
the first salivary gland to form in the 6th week are the
parotic glands
after the parotid gland appears in the 6th week we see which gland later in the same week
submandibular glands
what salivary glands do we see in the 8th week
sublingual glands
- The parotid glands are derived from which germ layer?
2. The submandibular and sublingual glands are derived from which germ layer?
- parotid is ectoderm
2. submandibular and sublingual glands are endoderm
branchial (arches, pouches, and clefts) are aka
pharyngeal arches, pouches, and clefts
the body of the tongue develops from the
lateral lingual swellings and the tuberculum impar of the 1st arch growing together
