Study Notes
Pharyngeal Apparatus Review
- Pharyngeal arches are essential for development of head and neck structures.
- Arches 1-6, each with unique components, including muscles, nerves, and blood vessels.
- Arch 1: maxillary and mandibular structures, malleus and incus, CN V, muscles of mastication.
- Arch 2: muscles of facial expression, stapes, styloid, part of hyoid, ECA branches, CN VII.
- Arch 3: part of hyoid, CN IX, stylopharyngeus, parts of ICA and CCA.
- Arches 4 and 6: laryngeal cartilages, CN X, pharyngeal and laryngeal muscles.
- Pharyngeal spaces include clefts (external ectoderm) and pouches (internal endoderm).
- Clefts: four pairs between arches.
- Pouches: four pairs between arches; each contributes to specific structures like ear cavity, pharyngotympanic tube, tonsils, parathyroid glands, and thyroid gland.
Evolutionary History of Head and Neck
- Pharyngeal arches initially functioned for filter feeding.
- Anterior arches evolved into jaws.
- Neural crest cells and mesoderm contributed to skeletal structures and muscles.
- Development of a predatory lifestyle influenced arch functions.
- Respiratory role of arches led to a reduction in arch number.
Evolutionary History of Head and Neck (Continued)
- Transition to land (tetrapods) resulted in a closing of the posterior pharynx.
- Posterior arches were reduced, leading to the evolution of the parathyroid gland (calcium regulation).
- Development of an air chamber in the ear allowed for sound conduction.
Evolution of Mammalian Ear: Ossicles
- Tetrapod jaw joint initially involved quadrate and articular bones.
- In mammals, the jaw joint utilizes the dentary and squamosal bones.
- The articular bone evolved into the malleus.
- The quadrate bone evolved into the incus.
Viscerocranium
- Pharyngeal arch 1 is responsible for the mandibular process, forming the mandible, malleus, and incus.
First Pharyngeal Arch: Muscles
- Muscles derived from arch 1 include the tensor veli palatini and tensor tympani.
Face Development
- Facial primordia begin to form by week 4.
- The stomodeum is the precursor to the mouth.
- Five prominences contribute to facial development:
- Frontonasal prominence
- Two maxillary prominences
- Two mandibular prominences
Placodes
- Placodes are thickened ectodermal regions that give rise to sensory structures.
- Lens placode: forms the eyes.
- Otic placode: forms the ears.
- Nasal placode: forms the nose.
Nasal Development
- The nasal placode flattens and then depresses.
- Forms a horseshoe shape:
- Nasal pit: precursor to the nasal cavity.
- Lateral nasal prominence: contributes to the ala, nasolacrimal duct.
- Medial nasal prominence: contributes to the nose, philtrum, upper lip, and part of the palate.
Nasal Cavity
- The nasal pits develop into the nasal sac.
- The oronasal membrane separates the nasal and oral cavities.
- Paranasal sinuses form late in fetal development or postnatally.
Forehead and Nose
- The frontonasal prominence contributes to the forehead.
- The medial nasal prominence contributes to the nose.
- The lateral nasal prominence contributes to the ala of the nose and nasolacrimal duct.
Lips
- The upper lip forms from the fusion of the medial nasal prominences and maxillary prominences.
- The lower lip forms from the fusion of the mandibular prominences.
Finalizing Facial Development
- The development of paranasal sinuses and the accommodation of teeth contribute to finalizing facial features.
- Brain enlargement also influences facial development.
Tongue Development
- The tongue starts developing around week 4.
- Contributions from various pharyngeal arches:
- Arch 1: forms the lateral swellings and tuberculum impar.
- Arch 2: forms the hypobranchial eminence (copula).
- Arch 4: forms the epiglottal swelling.
Tongue Swellings
- The lateral swellings overgrow the tuberculum impar, forming the anterior two-thirds of the tongue.
- The posterior tongue develops from the third arch tissue overgrowing the second arch.
- The terminal sulcus marks the boundary between the anterior and posterior thirds of the tongue.
Tongue Innervation
- Somatic sensory:
- Body: CN V
- Root: CN IX (with slight contribution from CN X)
- Special sensory:
- Body: CN VII
- Root: CN IX
- Motor: hypoglossal nerve (CN XII)
Thyroid Gland
- The thyroid gland is the first endocrine gland to develop.
- It originates as a thickening in the developing tongue between the tuberculum impar and copula.
- The foramen cecum marks the point of origin.
Thyroid Gland Descent
- The thyroid gland descends from the tongue via the thyroglossal duct.
- It fuses with the ultimopharyngeal body (from the 4th pharyngeal pouch).
- Descent is complete by week 7.
Palate Development
- The palate forms the roof of the mouth, separating the oral and nasal cavities.
- Primary palate: anterior portion, including the incisive foramina, derived from the medial nasal prominence.
- Secondary palate: anterior two-thirds of the bony palate and the soft palate, derived from the maxillary prominences.
Primary Palate
- Formed by the merging of the two medial nasal prominences.
- This merging forms the intermaxillary segment.
- The premaxillary part of the maxilla develops, containing the four incisor teeth.
- The primary palate separates the nasal and oral cavities early in development.
- The incisive foramina allow for the passage of blood vessels and nerves.
Secondary Palate
- The palatine shelves, derived from the maxillary prominences, project below the tongue around week 6.
- The palatine shelves rise and fuse, resulting in the secondary palate.
- The tongue is pulled into the mouth during shelf fusion.
- The shelves become horizontal around week 7-8.
Tooth Development
- Tooth development begins during the bud stage (week 6).
- Primary dentition (deciduous teeth): 10 buds per jaw.
- The dental lamina originates from the oral ectoderm.
- Neural crest cells contribute to the development of the teeth.
Tooth Development: Cap Stage
- The bud invaginates, forming the inner and outer dental epithelia.
- The enamel knot forms.
- The enamel organ develops.
- The dental papilla, composed of neural crest cells, forms dentin and pulp.
- The dental sac contributes to the development of the periodontium.
- The beginnings of permanent teeth develop during this stage.
Tooth Development: Bell Stage
- Cell differentiation occurs, leading to the formation of ameloblasts (enamel), odontoblasts (dentin), and the crown.
