    Study Notes

    Embryology of the Head, Face and Oral Cavity

    • Embryology is the study of tissue development.
    • Oral embryology is the study of the development of oral tissues.
    • Embryogenesis is the process of embryological development, including the formation of tissues and organs.
    • Embryonic origins are the three tissue layers (ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm) of the tri-laminar embryonic disc that give rise to all tissues in the human body.
    • Derivatives are the structures that the embryonic origins/tissue layers form.

    Key Phases of Embryogenesis and Development

    • Early Embryogenesis (Week 1-4):
      • Blastocyst forms with an inner cell mass (embryoblast) and outer layer (trophoblast).
      • Three embryonic origins (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm) develop.
      • Neural crest cells form.
      • Pharyngeal arches (branchial arches) develop as bulges on the embryo, forming the building blocks for face and oral cavity structures.
    • Embryogenesis (Week 5-8):
      • Development of all tissues, including the face, palate, tongue, jaws, skull.
    • Fetal Development (Week 9 – term):
      • Growth of the fetus and maturation.

    Pharyngeal Arches

    • Pharyngeal arches are crucial in head and neck development.
    • Each arch has:
      • A specific nerve supply
      • A blood supply
      • Cartilage
    • Structures derived from pharyngeal arches:
      • 1st (Mandibular) arch: Mandible, maxilla, zygomatic bones, etc.
      • 2nd (Hyoid) arch: Part of the hyoid bone, styloid process, etc.
      • 3rd arch: Part of the hyoid bone, connective tissue of the thymus, etc.
      • 4th arch: Thyroid, corniculate, and cuneiform cartilages of the larynx.

    Development of the Face

    • Week 4-6: The face begins to develop from five facial prominences:
      • Frontonasal prominence: Forms the forehead and nose.
      • 2x Maxillary prominences: Form the cheeks and upper jaw (maxilla).
      • 2x Mandibular prominences: Form the lower jaw (mandible).
    • Week 6-7: The primary palate forms from:
      • The frontonasal prominence
      • The medial nasal prominences
    • Week 7-8: The secondary palate forms from:
      • The palatine shelves that grow around the tongue.
      • The palatine shelves fuse with the primary palate and nasal septum as the tongue retracts.

    Development of the Tongue

    • Week 4-7: The tongue develops from the 1st, 2nd, and 4th pharyngeal arches.
    • Anterior 2/3 of the tongue: Forms from the lateral lingual swellings (1st arch) and the tuberculum impar (2nd arch).
    • Posterior 1/3 of the tongue: Forms from the copula/hypobranchial eminence.
    • Frenulum: Forms as the tongue separates from the floor of the mouth through cellular apoptosis (cell death).

    Clinical Significance

    • Disruptions in the development process can result in anomalies of the face and oral cavity, such as cleft lip and palate.
    • It is essential to understand embryology to diagnose and treat these conditions.
