Study Notes

Embryogenesis

The formation of tissues and organs during embryonic development
Starts with the three tissue layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) of the tri-laminar embryonic disc, which give rise to all tissues in the human body.
Key phases:
- Fertilization, cleavage, proliferation, migration, and differentiation

Early Embryogenesis: Weeks 1-4

Week 1: Begins with fertilization and progresses through cleavage (cell division) and proliferation (cell growth).
- Zygote, morula, and blastocyst formation
Week 2-3: The blastocyst develops into a bilaminar embryonic disc (ectoderm and endoderm) that later transforms into the trilaminar embryonic disc with the addition of the mesoderm.
Week 3-4: Development of the neural tube and neural crest cells from the neuroectoderm.
- Neural crest cells play a crucial role in the development of the head, face, and oral cavity.

Development of the Face, Palate, Tongue, and Alveolar Bone

Week 4-8: Development of key oral structures:
- Palate: The secondary palate forms from the palatine shelves, which grow from the maxillary prominence and fuse together with the primary palate and nasal septum.
- Tongue: Forms from the first, second, and fourth pharyngeal arches.
- Alveolar bone: The maxilla and mandible undergo ossification, starting in their respective prominences.

Clinical Significance

Aeitiology of Developmental Anomalies: Developmental anomalies can be caused by genetic or environmental factors.
Example: Cleft Lip and Palate: A common facial cleft resulting from failed fusion of the maxillary and nasal processes.
- Can impact feeding, speech, hearing, and development.
- Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for reducing the impact on patients.
