Study Notes
Alveolar Unit and Tongue Development
- The base and body of the tongue connect at the sulcus terminalis, signified by a V-shaped groove.
- Alveolar unit development includes a single ossification center for each maxilla.
- Displacement occurs due to cranial base bone formation, causing the maxilla to move downward and forward.
- Tongue myotomes migrate anteriorly between the 5th and 7th weeks of embryonic development.
Formation of Premaxilla
- The premaxilla forms from the fusion of maxillary prominence with two medial nasal processes.
- Initially indicated by bilobed diverticulum with two midline elevations.
- The hypobranchial eminence overgrows the second branchial arches, connecting with the tongue body.
- The thyroid gland remains attached to the tongue during development via the thyroglossal duct.
Tongue Functionality
- The tongue begins its functional phase around the third month of gestation.
Thyroid and Dental Development
- Follicular cells in the thyroid produce thyroxine and triiodothyronine.
- Parafollicular cells derived from the ultimobranchial body produce calcitonin.
- Mesenchymal cells near developing teeth differentiate into cementoblasts and form the periodontal ligament, which stabilizes teeth and absorbs shocks.
Cleft Deformities and Craniofacial Defects
- The incisive foramen divides anterior and posterior cleft conditions.
- Anterior cleft defects include lateral cleft lip and cleft upper jaw due to improper fusion of maxillary and medial nasal prominences.
- Posterior cleft conditions, such as cleft palate, arise from palatine shelf fusion failure, possible causes include small shelf size and micrognathia.
Syndromes Associated with Clefting
- Van der Woude syndrome is the most frequent genetic condition linked with cleft lip and/or palate, caused by mutations in the IRF6 gene.
- Associated defects include congenital heart defects and learning disabilities in infants.
Internal Ear Development
- The internal ear functions to convert sound waves and maintain equilibrium.
- Otic placodes develop into the internal ear structures.
- Hyaloid vessels provide intrauterine blood supply and contribute to the vascular layer of the retina.
- The vitreous body forms from interstitial spaces that fill with gelatinous substance, later leaving behind the hyaloid canal after obliteration during fetal life.
