Central nervous system Tongue The tongue appears during the 4th developmental week with the appearance of the tuberculum impar , a mesenchyme swelling in the floor of the primitive pharynx cranial to the foramen cecum . The anterior two-thirds of the tongue are formed from the two lateral swellings that develop on both sides of the tuberculum impar. They grow rapidly by proliferation of the first pharyngeal arch mesenchyme, until they fuse with one another and form the median sulcus of the tongue. The posterior one-third of the tongue arises from the copula and the hypobranchial eminence. Development of the tongue cont… • The copula is formed by the mesoderm of the second and cranial portion of the third pharyngeal arch. • Large hypobrachial eminence grows rapidly and soon fuses with lateral lingual swellings along the line of the demarcation, represented in the adult by the terminal sulcus of the tongue. • Epiglottal swelling appears in the medial line and marks the development of the epiglottis. • Immediately behind this swellings is the laryngeal orifice which is flanked by the arytenoid swellings.

Epiglottis Development of the thyroid gland • The thyroid gland appears during the 4th week as a median endodermal thickenning in the floor of the pharynx, between the tuberculum impar and copula. • The thyroid gland descends in front of the pharyngeal gut, hyoid bone and laryngeal cartilages and reaches its final position in front of the trachea in the 7th week . • During migration, the gland remains connected to the tongue by the thyroglossal duct , which opens in the tongue at the point of the foramen cecum. • The thyroid follicular epithelial cells derive from the endoderm , while the connective tissue and blood vessels derive from splanchnic mesoderm . • The ultimobranchial bodies fuse with the thyroid and become infiltrated with the cells derived from neural crest . These cells give rise to parafollicular cells of the thyroid. Formation of the thyroid gland 1. Central nervous system 2. Stomodeum 3. Tracheobronchial diverticulum 4. Thyroglossal duct 5. Pharyngeal gut Formation of the face • The face is formed between the 4th and 8 th week of the development from the facial swellings which appear around the stomodeum (primitive mouth). • The facial swellings, formed mainly by the first pair of the pharyngeal arches, constitute the boundaries of the stomodeum: the frontal swelling cranially and the paired maxillary and mandibulary swelling laterally. • Two thickenings of the surface ectoderm on each side of the frontal prominence form the nasal placodes . • The lateral and medial nasal swellings develop at the margins of the nasal placodes, which then lie in depression called nasal pit . • During the 6th and 7th week, the medial nasal swellings merge with each other to form an intermaxillary segment . • This segment gives rise to the philtrum of the upper lip, the upper jaw component (premaxillary part of the maxilla), and the primary palate. The face – 4th Week 1. Stomodeum 2. Frontonasal swelling 3. Cardiac bulge 4. Nasal placode 5. Pharyngeal arches (2nd and 3rd) 6. Mandibular swelling 7. Maxillary swelling Palate and nasal cavity • The medial nasal swellings (intermaxillary segment) fuse with the maxillary swellings, thus forming the upper lip . • The lateral nasal swellings unite with the maxillary swellings along the nasolacrimal groove . • The mandibular swellings merge , giving rise to the lower jaw (mandible ), lower lip and the inferior part of the face . • The cheeks are formed by the fusion of the maxillary swelling and mandibular swellings, followed by the positional changes of the tongue and the floor of the mouth, and broadening of the mandible.

  • Induction and Specification of Cranial Placodes ⁎ Gerhard Schlosser
    Developmental Biology 294 (2006) 303–351 www.elsevier.com/locate/ydbio Review Induction and specification of cranial placodes ⁎ Gerhard Schlosser Brain Research Institute, AG Roth, University of Bremen, FB2, PO Box 330440, 28334 Bremen, Germany Received for publication 6 October 2005; revised 22 December 2005; accepted 23 December 2005 Available online 3 May 2006 Abstract Cranial placodes are specialized regions of the ectoderm, which give rise to various sensory ganglia and contribute to the pituitary gland and sensory organs of the vertebrate head. They include the adenohypophyseal, olfactory, lens, trigeminal, and profundal placodes, a series of epibranchial placodes, an otic placode, and a series of lateral line placodes. After a long period of neglect, recent years have seen a resurgence of interest in placode induction and specification. There is increasing evidence that all placodes despite their different developmental fates originate from a common panplacodal primordium around the neural plate. This common primordium is defined by the expression of transcription factors of the Six1/2, Six4/5, and Eya families, which later continue to be expressed in all placodes and appear to promote generic placodal properties such as proliferation, the capacity for morphogenetic movements, and neuronal differentiation. A large number of other transcription factors are expressed in subdomains of the panplacodal primordium and appear to contribute to the specification of particular subsets of placodes. This review first provides a brief overview of different cranial placodes and then synthesizes evidence for the common origin of all placodes from a panplacodal primordium. The role of various transcription factors for the development of the different placodes is addressed next, and it is discussed how individual placodes may be specified and compartmentalized within the panplacodal primordium.

  • Embryology of Branchial Region
    TRANSCRIPTIONS OF NARRATIONS FOR EMBRYOLOGY OF THE BRANCHIAL REGION Branchial Arch Development, slide 2 This is a very familiar picture - a median sagittal section of a four week embryo. I have actually done one thing correctly, I have eliminated the oropharyngeal membrane, which does disappear sometime during the fourth week of development. The cloacal membrane, as you know, doesn't disappear until the seventh week, and therefore it is still intact here, but unlabeled. But, I've labeled a couple of things not mentioned before. First of all, the most cranial part of the foregut, that is, the part that is cranial to the chest region, is called the pharynx. The part of the foregut in the chest region is called the esophagus; you probably knew that. And then, leading to the pharynx from the outside, is an ectodermal inpocketing, which is called the stomodeum. That originally led to the oropharyngeal membrane, but now that the oropharyngeal membrane is ruptured, the stomodeum is a pathway between the amniotic cavity and the lumen of the foregut. The stomodeum is going to become your oral cavity. Branchial Arch Development, slide 3 This is an actual picture of a four-week embryo. It's about 5mm crown-rump length. The stomodeum is labeled - that is the future oral cavity that leads to the pharynx through the ruptured oropharyngeal membrane. And I've also indicated these ridges separated by grooves that lie caudal to the stomodeum and cranial to the heart, which are called branchial arches. Now, if this is a four- week old embryo, clearly these things have developed during the fourth week, and I've never mentioned them before.

  • The Pharyngeal Arches [PDF]
    24.3.2015 The Pharyngeal Arches Dr. Archana Rani Associate Professor Department of Anatomy KGMU UP, Lucknow What is Pharyngeal Arch? • Rod-like thickenings of mesoderm present in the wall of the foregut. • They appear in 4th-5th weeks of development. • Contribute to the characteristic external appearance of the embryo. • As its development resembles with gills (branchia: Greek word) in fishes & amphibians, therefore also called as branchial arch. Formation of Pharyngeal Arches Lens N Pharyngeal Apparatus Pharyngeal apparatus consists of: • Pharyngeal arches • Pharyngeal pouches • Pharyngeal grooves/clefts • Pharyngeal membrane Pharyngeal Arches • Pharyngeal arches begin to develop early in the fourth week as neural crest cells migrate into the head and neck region. • The first pair of pharyngeal arches (primordium of jaws) appears as a surface elevations lateral to the developing pharynx. • Soon other arches appear as obliquely disposed, rounded ridges on each side of the future head and neck regions. Le N Pharyngeal Arches • By the end of the fourth week, four pairs of pharyngeal arches are visible externally. • The fifth and sixth arches are rudimentary and are not visible on the surface of the embryo. • The pharyngeal arches are separated from each other by fissures called pharyngeal grooves/clefts. • They are numbered in craniocaudal sequence. Pharyngeal Arch Components • Each pharyngeal arch consists of a core of mesenchyme. • Is covered externally by ectoderm and internally by endoderm. • In the third week, the original mesenchyme is derived from mesoderm. • During the fourth week, most of the mesenchyme is derived from neural crest cells that migrate into the pharyngeal arches. Structures in a Pharyngeal Arch Arrangement of nerves supplying the pharyngeal arch (in lower animals) Fate of Pharyngeal Arches A typical pharyngeal arch contains: • An aortic arch, an artery that arises from the truncus arteriosus of the primordial heart.
