Study Notes
Embryology of the Head and Neck
- Head region mesenchyme derives from paraxial and lateral plate mesoderm, neural crest, and ectodermal placodes.
- Paraxial mesoderm forms brain case walls, craniofacial muscles, dermis, connective tissues, and meninges.
- Lateral plate mesoderm contributes to laryngeal cartilage and surrounding connective tissues.
- Neural crest cells originate from the neuroectoderm and migrate to pharyngeal arches, forming midfacial and arch skeletal structures.
Pharyngeal Arches Development
- Pharyngeal arches form in weeks 4 and 5, crucial for head and neck development.
- These arches consist of mesenchyme bars separated by clefts and accompanied by pharyngeal pouches.
- Initial facial structure includes stomodeum, bounded by five prominences from pharyngeal arches:
- Two mandibular prominences (caudal)
- Two maxillary prominences (lateral)
- One frontonasal prominence (cranial)
Structure and Components of Pharyngeal Arches
- Each arch comprises mesenchymal core with ectoderm and endoderm layers.
- Neural crest cells contribute to the skeletal elements of the face; mesodermal components give rise to facial and neck muscles.
- Each arch has distinct nerves, muscles, and arteries correlating with their development and migration.
Specific Pharyngeal Arch Details
- First arch (mandibular/maxillary) associated with trigeminal nerve, responsible for mastication, creates Meckel's cartilage, malleus, and incus.
- Second arch (hyoid) derives from the facial nerve and gives rise to skeletal elements like styloid process and stapes.
- Third arch (glossopharyngeal nerve) forms body of the hyoid bone and contributes to specific skeletal components.
- Fourth and sixth arches contribute to thyroid, cricoid, and arytenoid cartilages.
Face and Nasal Development
- By week four, facial prominences composed of neural crest mesenchyme develop.
- Nasal placodes invaginate during week 5, forming nasal pits and surrounding ridges, leading to nasal prominence formation.
- Maxillary prominences grow medially, fusing with medial nasal prominences to form the upper lip and jaw structures.
Palate Formation
- The intermaxillary segment forms from merging medial prominences, contributing to upper lip and incisors.
- Secondary palate originates from maxillary prominence-derived palatine shelves, fused by week 7, with interactions with the nasal septum.
- Fusion failures can lead to cleft lip and palate conditions.
Tongue Development
- Initial tongue formation begins around week four with lateral swellings and a medial tuberculum impar from the first pharyngeal arch.
- A second median swelling (copula) forms via the second, third, and fourth arches, and the epiglottis marks the posterior tongue.
- Anterior tongue derives from the first arch, innervated by the trigeminal nerve, while the posterior root and epiglottis originate from third and fourth arches and are innervated by glossopharyngeal and superior laryngeal nerves, respectively.
- Most tongue muscles come from occipital somites, innervated by the hypoglossal nerve.
