Face is dominated by the frontal prominence of the overhanging forebrain.
On both sides of frontal prominence are
1. Medial Nasal process
2. Lateral nasal process
a. Maxillary processes grow to crowd the nasal processes closer together.
b. Nasomedial processes grow quickly, pushing the frontal prominence, then fuse with the maxillary processes to complete the arch of upper jaw.
c. Nasomedial process give rise to philtrum of lip
Cleft:
Cleft lip : failure of fusion of medial nasal process with maxillary process
Oro optic groove is formed by fusion of maxillary process & nasal process
If unfused then oblique facial cleft is formed
Parts of palate
Frontonasal process : Median part of upper lip
Premaxilla : Primitive palate ( From FNP)
maxillary process
soft palate ( ms)—> 4 th pharyngeal arch
Cleft:
1. B/L Cleft palate : failure of fusion of Premaxilla & palatal process
2. U/L Cleft palate : Non fusion of 1 palatal process of maxilla with premaxilla
3. Midline cleft : failure of fusion of palatal process
4.Bifid Uvula : Teratogenic drugs like phenytoin
Parts of embryo :
Head bulge
somites
stoma ( mouth): cavity ( pharynx)
cardiac bulge
Development of tongue
Development of tongue from pharyngeal arches 1-4 & the occipital somites
Embryonic precursor
Adult structure
Innervations
Intermediate structure
Pharyngeal arch 1
Overgrown by lateral lingual swelling
Mucosa of ant 2/3 rd of tongue
Lingual nerve: General sensation
Chorda tympani : special sensation ( taste)
Median tongue bud
Lateral lingual swelling
Pharyngeal arch 2
Overgrown by other structures
Copula
Pharyngeal arch 3
Mucosa of post. 1/3 rd including circumvallate papilla
Glossopharyngeal nerve
Ventral part of hypopharyngeal eminence
Pharyngeal arch 4
Mucosa of small dorsal region of tongue
Superior laryngeal nerve ( vagus)
Dorsal part of hypo pharyngeal eminence
Occipital somites
Intrinsic muscles of tongue, palatoglossus muscle
Hypoglossal nerve ( main)
pharyngeal plexus
Myoblasts
Development of Thyroid
First endocrine gland to develop in IUL
Developed from floor of pharynx ( area of developing tongue) , beigns as diverticulum at dorsum of tongue.
Thyroid diverticulum elongates to form thyroglossal duct.
Elongates downward infront of hyoid & thyroid cartilage , & divides in 2 parts
Congenital Anomalies:
1. Thyroid agenesis : Failure of its formation
2. Lingual thyroid : failure of thyoid descend
3. Aberrant thyroid ( Retrosternal goiter): over- descend of thyroid gland in the thorax.
4. Thyroglossal cyst: persistance of a part of thyroglossal duct
Ultimobrachial body gives parafollicular cells to TG
