Definition
middle ear cavity, eustachian tube, and mastoid air cells
Term
3rd Branchial/Pharyngeal pouch (dorsal wings) develops into ___
Definition
Inferior parathyroids
Term
3rd Branchial/Pharyngeal pouch (ventral wings) develops into ___
Definition

Thymus

 

Term
4th Branchial/Pharyngeal pouch (dorsal wings) develops into ___
Definition
Superior parathyroids
Term
The anterior 2/3 of the tongue is formed from what branchial/pharyngeal arch(es)?
Definition

1st arch

(sensation via CN V3, taste via CN VII)

Term
The posterior 1/3 of the tongue is formed from what branchial/pharyngeal arch(es)?
Definition

3rd and 4th arches

(sensation and taste via CN IX)

Term
What nerve supplies motor innervation to the tongue?
Definition
CN XII (hypoglossal)
Term
Thyroglossal duct becomes ___
Definition

Foramen cecum

 

If it doesn't obliterate, it can form a cyst in the midline of the neck that moves with swallowing. Ectopic thyroid tissue may be in the tongue.

Term
What causes cleft lip?
Definition

Failure of fusion of the maxillary and medial nasal processes.

 

Cleft palate forms differently (maxillary process is not involved)

Definition
failure to recanalize (trisomy 21)
Term

Embryonic gut rotation:

- what part of gut

- when

- around what

 

Definition

- Midgut

- Week 10, after it returns to the abdominal cavity from herniating through the umbilical ring

- around the Superior mesenteric artery

Term
What is Gastroschisis?
Definition
extrusion of abdominal contents through abdominal folds, not covered by peritoneum
Term
What is Omphalocele?
Definition

Persistence of herniation of abdominal contents into umbilical cord, covered by peritoneum

 

Term
Give the 3 steps to fetal kidney development
Definition

1. Pronephros (later degenerates)

2. Mesonephros (kidney for 1st trimester, then male genital system)

3. Metanephros: 2 parts

  • Ureteric bud: everything in kidney after DCT
  • Metenephric mesenchyme: filtration system up until DCT
Term
What gene on Y chromosome differentiates a fetus into a male?
Definition
SRY gene
Term
How do Sertoli cells contribute to male fetal formation?
Definition

secrete Anti-mullerian hormone which causes degeneration of the paramesonephric duct (female internal genitalia)

 

(stop female internal genitalia)

Term
How do Leydig cells contribute to male fetal formation?
Definition
Secrete testosterone/androgens which generates the Wolffian/Mesonephric duct development (male internal genitalia), and DHT making male external genitalia
Term
femal homologue of the prostate gland
Definition
Urethral and paraurethral glands (Skene's glands)
Term
Cause of hypospadias
Definition

Urethral opening on inferior (ventral) side of the penis

 

from failure of urethral folds to close

 

(more common than epispadias)

 

Term
Cause of epispadias
Definition

Urethral opening on superior (dorsal) side of the penis

 

from faulty positioning of the genital tubercle

 

(less common than hypospadias)

Term
