Study Notes

Embryology Quiz 1 - Branchial Arches

  • Branchial arches all share a common blood supply.
  • Each arch has its own nerve supply, typically from a cranial nerve.
  • Example: Arch I is innervated by the trigeminal nerve (cranial nerve V).
  • Arch II is innervated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII).
  • Arch III is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve (cranial nerve IX).
  • Arch IV is innervated by the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).
  • Arch VI is also innervated by the vagus nerve (cranial nerve X).

Embryonic Derivatives of Ectoderm

  • Skin: The ectoderm gives rise to the epidermis of the skin, and structures like hair and nails.
  • Enamel: The ectoderm is responsible for the development of enamel, the hard outer layer of teeth. Ameloblasts originate from the ectoderm.

Embryonic Blastocyst Development

  • The blastocyst is a fluid-filled ball of cells that forms after the zygote formation.
  • This occurs after the morula, which is a solid ball of cells.

Neural Crest Cells

  • Neural crest cells originate in the neuroectoderm, and migrate to various parts of the developing embryo.
  • They form a wide variety of structures particularly in the head and neck regions.
  • Contribute to ectomesenchyme, a type of mesenchyme, which leads to bone, cartilage, and connective tissue of the head and face.

Tongue Development

  • The tongue develops from bulges in the first branchial arch.
  • This arch (Branchial arch 1) is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve and trigeminal nerve.

Branchial Arch V

  • Is non-functional in humans.

Branchial Arch Innervation

  • Branchial Arch I is innervated by cranial nerve V (trigeminal).
  • Branchial Arch II is innervated by cranial nerve VII (facial).
  • Branchial Arch III is innervated by cranial nerve IX (glossopharyngeal).
  • Branchial Arch IV is innervated by cranial nerve X (vagus).
  • Branchial Arch VI is innervated by cranial nerve X (vagus).

Face Development

  • The face primarily develops during week 4 of embryonic development.

Secondary Palate Development

  • The secondary palate forms between weeks 6 and 7 of embryogenesis.
  • It develops from the palatal shelves of the maxillary prominences.
  • It creates a barrier between the oral and nasal cavities.

Facial Processes

  • The face develops from the frontonasal and the maxillary and mandibular processes.
  • The nasal placodes contribute to the olfactory epithelium and nasal cavities, but are not primary facial structures.
  • Maxillary processes contribute to the upper jaw, cheeks, and upper lip but not primary facial development.
  • Mandibular processes contribute to the lower jaw and lower lip but not primary facial development.

Muscles of Facial Expression

  • Muscles of facial expression are derived from the second branchial arch (hyoid arch).
  • Innervated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII).

Philtrum Development

  • The philtrum, the vertical groove in the middle of the upper lip, develops from the fusion of the maxillary and medial nasal processes.
