question![Development of the Palate Development of the Palate](https://studyhippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/development-of-the-palate.png)
Development of the Palate
![Development of the Palate Development of the Palate](https://studyhippo.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/development-of-the-palate.png)
answer
Palate is derived from 2 parts: primary palate and secondary palate Primary Palate (median palatine process) ?Arises as a mesodermal thickening of the innermost (premaxillary) part of the intermaxillary segment of the upper jaw during the 5th week ?Located b/w maxillary prominences of the upper jaw Secondary Palate (lateral palatine process) ?Arises as mesodermal projections from inner surface of each maxillary prominence ?Initially they project down each side of tongue, but as jaw develops the tongue moves inferiorly allowing the lateral palatine processes to grow together and fuse above the tongue ?Fusion in the midline begins during the 9th week and involves the secondary palates fusing with: ?Primary palate ?Nasal septum (derived from medial nasal prominences) ?Fusion is complete by end of 12th week ?Proceeds in an anterior-posterior direction, leaving palatine raphe as a fusion line
question
Bone formation in the palate
answer
Primary palate - membranous bone formation gives rise to the premaxillary part of the upper jaw (for incisor teeth) Secondary palate - membranous bone gives rise to hard palate ?No bone forms in the secondary palate posterior to the nasal septum ? becomes soft palate and uvula
question
Cleft Lip
answer
May be unilateral or bilateral ?Unilateral - maxillary prominence on one side fails to merge w/ medial nasal prominence on the same side, resulting in persistent labial groove ?Epithelium in groove becomes stretched, and it and the underlying mesoderm break down, and the lip divides into a medial and lateral part ?Bilateral - medial nasal prominences fuse but maxillary prominences fail to meet and fuse with the fused medial nasal prominences ?Epithelium in both grooves now stretches and it and the underlying mesoderm breaks down causing bilateral cleft lip 1/800 - 1/900 births ?more common in males
question
Cleft Palate
answer
Results from the failure of the lateral palatine processes to meet and fuse either with a) each other, b) nasal septum) or c) the median palatine process May involve only the uvula or the soft and hard palate as well Cleft lip may or may not be associated with cleft palate Cleft of Primary Palate - the lateral palatine processes fail to fuse with the median palatine process Clefts of Primary ; Secondary Palates - lateral palatine processes fail to fuse with each other, the nasal septum and the median palatine process Clefts of the Secondary Palate - lateral palatine processes fail to fuse with each other and with the nasal septum 1/2500 births ?more common in females
question
Nasal Cavity Development Timeline
answer
Origin: 4th week
question
Development of the Nasal Cavities
answer
Begins as two ectodermal swellings (nasal placodes) induced by the forebrain Nasal placodes become pits as the surrounding mesodermal medial and lateral nasal prominences grow up around them Pits are constricted off to form sacs which communicate with the surface via the nasal pares Initially the sacs are separate, but fuse together to form one cavity separated from the oral cavity by the oronasal membrane ?Oronasal membrane ruptures at 6 weeks and the openings become the choanae The oral pharynx and nasal pharynx are secondarily separated again by the primary and secondary palates (except at choanae) and the nasal cavity is separated into left and right nasal cavities by the nasal septum Olfactory region ?Ectodermal lining from ingrown nasal placodes form specialized olfactory cells (neuro-sensory, ciliated) which send fibers (i.e. nerve fibers that comprise the olfactory cranial ns) to synapse in the olfactory bulb

Origin: begins during late 4th week, early 5th week Development ?Derived from 1st pharyngeal pouch ?Pouch elongates into a tubotympanic recess which envelopes the bones of the middle ear ?The distal portion of the recess expands to become a tympanic cavi and it is the endodermal lining of this cavity which will envelop the bones of the middle ear (malleus, incus, stapes), their ligaments and tendons and the chorda tympani nerve (from CN VII) ?The tympanic cavity also gives rise to the tympanic (mastoid) antrum during late fetal life, which communicates w/ mastoid air cells
question
Development of External Ear
answer
Origin: begins during 5th week (external auditory meatus) and 6th week (auricle) Development ?External acoustic meatus - ectodermal lining of the 1st pharyngeal groove begins to proliferate, occludes the groove and extends inwards as a solid mass of ectodermal cells ?Mass later hollows out during late fetal life by degeneration of the ectodermal cells in the center of the mass ?Tympanic membrane - as the first groove and pouch come together they are initially separated only by a bilaminar, membrane of ectoderm and endoderm ?Mesoderm soon moves in b/w these two epithelial layers to give rise to fibrous element of tympanic membrane ?Auricle - arises from 6 mesodermal swellings (auricular hillocks) of the first and second pharyngeal arches around the margins of the first pharyngeal groove ?The auricles begin forming in the upper neck region but ascend to the level of the eyes on the sides of the head as the mandible forms ?Nerve supply ?Arch 1 derivatives are innervated by mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve ?Arch 2 derivatives are innervated by some cutaneous branches from facial (CN VII) nerve near the mastoid process but most of arch II derivatives receive cutaneous innervation from the cervical plexus (lesser occipital, greater auricular nerves)
question
Congenital Abnormalities of the Ear
answer
Since the middle and inner ear develop independently, impaired hearing can be due to either a perceptive deafness (neurosensory loss in the inner ear) or a conduction deafness (inability to conduct sound across middle ear)
question
Inner Ear Abnormalities
answer
Perceptive deafness Most types of congenital deafness are genetic in origin and 25% of those are caused by dominant gene Spiral Organ of Corti is absent and the spiral ganglion deficient in neurons so that sound cannot be perceive by nerves of inner ear Rubella - causes congenital deafness since it destroys the epithelail lining of the cochlea and prevents the formation of the Organ of Corti ?Critical period for infection is during the 1st trimester but the damage incurred may not be detected until 1-4 years postnatally
question
Middle Ear Abnormalities
answer
Conduction deafness Conduction deafness most often involve defects in the formation of the bones of the middle ear but it can also occur if an ectodermal epithelial plug persists in the external meatus or if the tympatic membrane is damaged Sound is prevented from reaching spiral organ of corti in inner ear

question
Esophageal Dysphagia
answer
Characterized by difficulty swallowing several seconds after initiating a swallow Could be obstructive (difficulty w/ solids) Could be motor loss (difficulty w/ solids and liquids) similar to patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia, dysphagia related to distal esophageal disease, such as a peptic stricture, may sometimes be felt in the suprasternal notch ?However, patients with oropharyngeal dysphagia have difficulty initiating a swallow and may have nasopharyngeal regurgitation, aspiration, and a sensation of residual food remaining in the pharynx ?In contrast, esophageal dysphagia is characterized by difficulty swallowing several seconds after initiating a swallow
question

question
Sarcomeric Shortening
answer
The filaments do not change length themselves They slide together to cause the structure as a whole to shorten
question
Sarcomere Length:Tension Relation
answer
Passive vs. Active ?Passive is what you get when muscle is not activated ?When you activate muscle, you get more force Force for active muscle is total force minus passive force After a certain point of stretch, active component of the force significantly decreases ?Thick and thin filaments are no longer able to overlap ? activation yields no force If the sarcomere is too short, thin filaments can actually interfere w/ each other, decreasing active component of force ?At some point, it gets so short that the thick filaments begin to crash into Z-line, which causes large resistance to contraction
question

answer
Returns to CNS via pathway of visceral motor (i.e. splanchnic nerves) No synapse in sympathetic ganglion Goes to spinal cord segments closest to white rami Ultimately synapse in dorsal horn ?Cross-talk can occur, so you can be tricked into thinking pain is coming from somewhere else (i.e. referred pain) ?Ex: diffuse chest /arm pain from heart injury
question
Musculoskeletal Pain
answer
E.g., patient describes a history of repetitive or unaccustomed activity involving the upper trunk or arms Often insidious and persistent Lasting for hours to weeks. Frequently sharp and localized to a specific area (such as the xiphoid, lower rib tips, or midsternum), but may be diffuse and poorly localized. The pain may be positional or exacerbated by deep breathing, turning, or arm movement
question
Non-ischemic cardiac chest pain
answer
May be caused by inflammation of the pericardium; inflammation of or injury to the myocardium w/o predisposing ischemic insult; or aortic injury. ?E.g., Pericarditis ?Typically of fairly sudden onset ?Occurs over the anterior chest ?Usually sharp and exacerbated by inspiration ?Pain may decrease in intensity when the patient sits up and can radiate, especially to the trapezius ridge
question
Visceral Referred Pain
answer
Information relayed to brain is segmental, not organ specific Brain "thinks" pain from a visceral structure is coming from an area of skin innervated by the same segmental level at which the visceral afferent synapses (in dorsal horn) Results from convergence of somatic and visceral afferents on the same segmental level of the spinal cord Signals transfer, which tricks the brain
