Study Notes
Thyroid Development
- Initially indicated by two midline elevations located caudal to the tuberculum impar.
- These elevations are the copula of the 2nd arches and the hypobranchial eminence from the 3rd and 4th arches.
- The thyroid migrates to its final position anterior to the trachea by the seventh week, remaining connected to the tongue via the thyroglossal duct.
Tooth Formation
- Tooth formation begins around the end of the third month of embryonic development.
- Follicular cells produce colloid, a source for thyroxine and triiodothyronine, while parafollicular (C) cells produce calcitonin.
- Ameloblasts retreat into the stellate reticulum as enamel thickens.
- Formation of the tooth root begins when dental epithelial layers penetrate underlying mesenchyme to form the epithelial root sheath.
- The pulp chamber narrows as dentin is deposited, forming a canal containing vessels and nerves.
Tooth Development Signals
- Development involves WNTs, BMPs, FGFs, secreted factors like SHH, and transcription factors MSX1 and MSX2 that influence cell differentiation and tooth patterning.
- The dental epithelial region at tooth buds contains an enamel knot, acting as a "organizer" for tooth development.
Ear Anatomy
- Ear structure includes the external auditory meatus, middle ear with ossicles, and inner ear.
- First pharyngeal arch gives rise to malleus and incus, while the second arch gives rise to stapes.
- Ossicles remain embedded in mesenchyme until the eighth month of fetal life.
Tympanic Membrane Composition
- The tympanic membrane is composed of:
- Ectodermal lining at the auditory meatus.
- Endodermal lining of the tympanic cavity.
- Intermediate connective tissue layer known as the fibrous stratum, which separates the external auditory meatus from the tympanic cavity.
Auditory Response Mechanism
- Malleus acts as a lever increasing force transmitted by the stapes, amplifying sound pressure onto the cochlea.
- Fluid waves created in the cochlea are balanced by movements at the round window, ensuring effective sound transmission.
Ciliary Body
- The ciliary body includes the pars ciliaris retinae, characterized by marked folding.
- It is connected to the lens by the Zonula (Suspensory) Ligament.
- Contraction of the ciliary muscle adjusts lens curvature through tension changes in the ligament.
Anterior Chamber Formation
- The anterior chamber forms through vacuolization, dividing into inner and outer components.
- Inner: located in front of the lens and iris, contains the iridopupillary membrane.
- Outer: continuous with the sclera and substantia propria of the cornea, lined with flattened mesenchymal cells.
Clinical Correlations
- Notable anomalies related to the third and fourth arch include Hyoid anomalies and laryngeal stenosis.
- Common ear anomalies are associated with chromosomal syndromes, indicating developmental issues during embryogenesis.
