Explain Oral Embryology of Human Development Flashcards

Do you know what Embryology is? Embryology is the study of the processes and structures leading to information. It is also the study of the formation development of an embryo and fetus. It is an essential part of biological evolution and can be used to help establish the similarities and differences between various species.

What is in the ectoderm, mesoderm, and endoderm?
Ectoderm- skin, brain, spine, hair, nails, enamel,lining of oral cavity

mesoderm- bones muscles, circulatory system, kidneys, reproductive system, dentin, pulp and cementum

endoderm- lining of lungs, lining of digestive system, genital system
What is embryology?
Study of prenatal development
What are the stages of prenatal development?
Preimplantation period, takes place during the first week, the egg becomes a zygote.
Embryonic period 2nd week to the 8th week- this period is the most critical time. it develops all major structures.
the fetal period- the 9th week and on.
What is the stomodeum?
The primitive mouth.
What are the 2 branchial arches?
Mandibular arch- forms bones, muscles, and nerves of the face.

Hyoid arch forms the styloid process, stapes of the ear, stylohyoid ligament and part of the hyoid bone.
What is the primary palate and the secondary palate?
The hard and soft palate are made by the fusion of the primary and secondary palate. This fusion forms a y shaped pattern in the roof of the mouth.
Describe facial development.
1st month- overhanging forehead is the dominant feature

2nd month- growth of nose and upper maxilla occur, mandibula lags behind.

3rd month- large head but resembles human

4 month- face looks human hard and soft palates are formed

last trimester- sucking pads are formed, fat in cheeks
What are environmental and genetic factors in embryo development?
Genetic- small jaw and big teeth, small teeth large jaw

environmental- teratogens (infections), radiation, medications
What are osteoblasts/clasts?
Osteoblasts are responsible for the formation of bones

osteoclasts are responsible for resorption, the bones are taken away (resorbed) into the body.
What happens in the bud stage?
(initiation) the beginning development of each tooth.
dental lamina is formed, which produces tooth buds for primary teeth.
What happens in the cap stage?
Proliferation occurs, cells of tooth grow and increase in number. ectoderm layer because the enamel organ, mesoderm layer becomes dental papilla and will form dentin and will form a dental sac and give rise to cementum.
What occurs in the bell stage?
Histodifferentiation occurs; epithelial cells become ameloblasts- which are enamel-forming cells.

peripheral cells of dental papilla become odontoblasts- dentin forming cells.

dental sac differentiate into cementoblasts- cementum forming cells.
The basic shape and size of each tooth are established during what process?
Morphodifferentiation.
The DEJ and cementodentinal junction act as what?
A blueprint for the tooth.
The development and the root occur after what formation has reached?
Cementoenamel junction (CEJ)
