Study Notes
Embryonic Development Stages
- Gastrulation: a process where a single-layered blastula transforms into a trilaminar structure consisting of three germ layers: ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm
- The three germ layers give rise to various tissues and organs in the body
Facial Development
- Frontonasal Process: arises from the ectoderm and plays a crucial role in facial development, giving rise to the forehead, bridge of the nose, and primary palate
- Maxillary Process: derived from the first pharyngeal arch, contributes to the development of the cheek and upper jaw
- Mandibular Arch: also derived from the first pharyngeal arch, gives rise to the lower jaw
Palate Formation
- Primary Palate: develops from the frontonasal process
- Secondary Palate: arises from outgrowths of the maxillary processes
Ossification
- Occurs through intramembranous ossification
- The mandible develops secondary growth cartilages, such as the condylar and coronoid cartilages
Facial Development Processes
- Olfactory Pit: initial depression in the surface ectoderm marking the beginning of facial development, surrounded by pharyngeal arches and the frontal process of the brain
- Frontal Process: gives rise to the forehead, bridge of the nose, and primary palate, derived from the ectoderm
- Maxillary Process: develops laterally to the olfactory pit, contributing to the development of the cheeks
- Mandibular Arch: located below the olfactory pit, gives rise to the lower jaw through intramembranous ossification
- Stomodeum: initial depression of the surface ectoderm forming the primitive oral cavity, separated from the primitive pharynx by the oropharyngeal membrane
- Nasal Placode: thickening of the surface ectoderm on each side of the frontonasal prominence, gives rise to the nasal pits
Palatal Development Processes
- Early Palatal Development (Weeks 6-7):
- Formation of the Primary Palate
- Medial nasal prominences begin to form during the sixth week and merge to form the intermaxillary segment
- Formation of the Secondary Palate
- Maxillary prominences develop from the internal aspects of the maxillary prominences and give rise to the palatal shelves during the seventh week
- Formation of the Primary Palate
- Middle Palatal Development (Weeks 7-8):
- Elevation of the Palatal Shelves
- Mandible growth and tongue descent help lower the position of the tongue
- Horizontal movement of the palatal shelves
- Fusion of the Palatal Shelves
- Midline contact and adhesion
- Epithelial seam formation and breakdown through apoptosis and epithelial-mesenchymal transition
- Elevation of the Palatal Shelves
- Late Palatal Development (Weeks 9-12):
- Completion of Palatal Fusion
- Continuous layer formation creates a continuous layer of mesenchyme, which later ossifies
- Completion of Palatal Fusion
