Embryonic Development

  • tongue development 4-8 week

    from two independent swellings
    body and base and then completed
  • two palatal shelves

    Grow inferiorly,deep, in a vertical direction
    Both sides of the developing tongue flip upward
  • Preimplantation Period

    During 1st week
    -Ovum is penetrated by the sperm and united, called fertilization
  • Sperm and Ovum join

    During 1st week
    46 chromosomes now.
  • Cleavage

    Cleavage

    Zygote undergoes mitosis, or individual cell division.
    Now known as morula, later is called blastocyst
  • After A week of cleavage

    After A week of cleavage

    The blastocyst consists of a layer of peripheral cells, the trophoblast layer, and a small inner mass of cells, the embryoblast layer
    -trophoblast- gives rise to important prenatal support tissue
    - embryoblast layer gives rise to the embryo following the embryonic period
  • Beginning Second Week- End of 8th Week

    certain processes or spatial and temporal events (patterning) occur which are key to development
  • 2nd week- 8th week= EMBRYONIC PERIOD

    2nd week- 8th week= EMBRYONIC PERIOD

    induction, proliferation, differentiation, morphogenesis, maturation
    - blastocyst will become an embryo with further development
    - teeth and orofacial structures and other organs develop in an embryo
  • Induction

    one group of cells triggers the development of another group of cells, leading to specific developmental pathways.
  • Proliferation

    following induction
    -controlled levels of cellular growth leading to the expansion of tissues and organs
    -appositional (size enlarges due to the addition of layers to the outside of a structure)
    -interstitial (occurs from deep within a tissue or organ)
  • Differentiation

    change occurs in the embryonic cells, later becoming distinct structurally and functionally
    -occurs at various rates
    - cells, tissue types, organs, systems are affected
  • Maturation

    tissue types and organs during embryologic period and continues later during the fetal period
  • blastocyst to bilaminar embryonic disc

    blastocyst to bilaminar embryonic disc

    primitive streak is a layer of symmetry caused by proliferation in the midline
    - cells become mesoderm and endoderm
  • bilaminar disc thickens to trilaminar embryonic disc

    Epiblast layer is now considered an ectoderm
  • Head end and tail end

    Cephalic- head
    Caudal- tail end
  • 3rd week

    CNS begins to develop
    Neuroectoderm
  • Third week

    neural plate, neural groove, neural fold
  • 3rd Week

    Neural Crest Cells that migrate and disperse when the mesenchyme
  • Mesoderm divides

    into 38 paired cuboidal segments, forming the somites
  • Embryonic folding

    4th week- face and neck begin to develop
    primitive eyes, ears, nose, oral cavity, jaw areas
  • Facial formation

    beings during the 4th week
  • Three embryonic layers

    Mesoderm, ectoderm, endoderm
    Developing brain, face, and heart
  • Development depends on

    5 facial processes
  • Stomodeum

    Stomodeum

    disintegration of oropharyngeal membrane
    separates the stomodeum from primitive pharynx
  • Mandibular arch and lower face formation

    Frontalnasal process enlarges
    mand. process- rise to maxillary process
    mandibular process fuse at the center
  • frontonasal and upper face formation

    frontonasal and upper face formation

  • Paired median nasal processes fuse externally to form

    Paired median nasal processes fuse externally to form

    Middle nose, root of nose, tubercle of lip, philtrum
  • Palate development

    5th week and completes at week 12
  • 3 stages

    Formation of primary palate (5-6 week)
    Formation of secondary palate (6-12 week)
    Completion of the final palate (12th week)
  • body of tongue

    forms from tuberculum impar
  • base of tongue

    base of tongue

    copula swellings
  • Fetal Period

    Fetal Period

    9 week-birth
