    Formation of germ layers

    blastocyst
    • 16th day
    Formation of tissues
    • 3 germ layers give rise to epithelia and
    mesenchyme.

    Epithelia derived from ectoderm


    Epithelium of
    1. skin, hair follicles, sweat glands, sebaceous glands and
    mammary glands
    2. Cornea, conjunctiva, EAM, outer surface of tympanic
    membrane
    3. Some parts of oral cavity, lower part of anal canal, terminal
    part of male urethra, parts of female external genitalia.
    Epithelia derived from endoderm
    Epithelium of
    1. Entire gut except part of mouth and anal canal
    2. Auditory tube and middle ear
    3. Respiratory tract
    4. Over part of UB, urethra and vagina
    Epithelium derived from mesoderm
    1. Tubules of kidney, ureter, trigone of urinary bladder
    2. Uterine tubes, uterus, part of vagina
    3. Testis and its duct system
    4. Endothelium lining the heart, blood vessels and lymphatics
    5. Mesothelium lining the pericardial, peritoneal and pleural
    cavities and cavities of joints.
    • Mesenchyme
    Pharyngeal Arches (4th & 5th weeks of IUL)
    • Rod-like thickenings of mesoderm present in the wall of the
    foregut.
    • Ventral ends of the arches meet in the midline in the floor of the
    pharynx.
    • In the interval between any two arches, endoderm is pushed
    outwards to form a series of pouches (endodermal/pharyngeal
    pouches)
    • Opposite each pouch, the surface ectoderm dips inwards as an
    ectodermal cleft.
    Development of face

    • During the 4th week


    Development of palate (7th -8th week)
    Mechanisms of palatal elevation
    • Intrinsic shelf elevation due to hydration of extracellular matrix
    components ( GAGs, hyaluronan)
    • Alteration in vasculature & blood supply to the palatal shelves
    • Rapid differential mitotic activity
    • Muscular movements
    • Withdrawal of embryonic face from against the heart
    prominence results in slight jaw opening---withdrawal of
    tongue from between the palatal shelves.
    • Serotonin release from neural tissue
    Pre-natal growth of mandible
    Meckel’s cartilage
    -derived from the 1st arch around 41st-45th day of IUL.
    -extends from the cartilaginous otic capsule to the midline or
    symphysis; provides a template for guiding the growth of
    mandible.
    -major portion disappears during growth; remaining part develops
    into -Mental ossicles, incus & malleus, spine of sphenoid,
    anterior ligament of malleus, sphenomandibular ligament.
    • 1st structure to develop in primordium of the lower jaw is the mandibular
    division of trigeminal nerve.

    • A single ossification centre for each half of the mandible arises in the 6 th week of
    IUL in the region of bifurcation of the inferior alveolar nerve into mental and
    incisive branches.

    • The ossification spreads below and around the inferior alveolar nerve and
    upwards to form a trough for accomodating the developing tooth buds.

    • Spread of intramembranous ossification dorsally & ventrally forms the body and
    ramus of the mandible .
    • Endochondral bone formation is seen in 3 areas of the
    mandible:
    1.Condylar process
    2. Coronoid process
    3. Mental region
    Condylar process 5th week

    4 months

    middle of
    foetal life till
    adulthood
    Coronoid process- secondary accessory cartilages – 10th-14th week
    of IUL- in response to the developing temporalis muscles-
    disappear before birth.

    Mental region- 1 or 2 small cartilages on either side of symphysis-


    ossify in the 7th month of IUL to form mental ossicles.
    Prenatal growth of maxilla
    • Intramembranous ossification.

    • Centre of ossification- close to the developing deciduous canine


    tooth- appears during the 8th week of IUL.

    • Ossification spreads throughout the developing maxilla into its


    growing processes (palatine, zygomatic, frontal & alveolar).

    • Maxillary sinus appears as an outpocketing of the mucosa of


    middle meatus of nose at the 4th month of IUL. Later it enlarges
    by resorption of nasal mucous membrane into the maxillary
    bone.
    Congenital anomalies of face
    1. Cleft lip
    2. Oblique facial cleft

    3. Macrostomia & microstomia

    4. Mandibulofacial dysostosis or 1st arch


    syndrome
    5. Retrognathia

    6. Hypertelorism

    7. Lip pits and double lip


    Cleft palate
    Due to failure of elevation of palatal shelves (major clefts) or
    failure of fusion of shelves (minor clefts) or lack of degeneration
    of the midline epithelial seam or failure of mesenchymal
    consolidation.
    Development of tongue (4th month of IUL)
    • Anomalies of tongue
    1. Macroglossia, microglossia, aglossia

    Downs syndrome, Beckwith-


    Weidmann syndrome, Gargoylism
    2. Bifid tongue

    3. Ankyloglossia

    4. Median rhomboid glossitis


    5. Lingual thyroid nodule

    6. Fissured tongue
    (Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome,
    Down’s syndrome)
    Development of salivary glands (6th -7th week)

    • Develop as outgrowths of the buccal epithelium, which are first solid


    and later canalised.
    • Branch repeatedly to form the duct system, terminal parts of the duct
    system develop into secretory acini.
    • Develop at the junctional area between ectoderm of the stomodeum
    and endoderm of the foregut.
    • Outgrowth of the parotid gland arises in relation to the line along
    which the maxillary and mandibular processes fuse to form the cheek
    (considered to be ectodermal)
    • Outgrowths for submandibular and sublingual glands arise in relation
    to the linguo-gingival sulcus (considered to be endodermal in origin)
    Some general considerations
    Control of foetal growth
    IU growth of foetus is influenced by
    1. Maternal factors- adequate availability of nutrition in maternal
    blood & its transfer across placenta. Maternal hormones do
    not cross placenta, but can influence the foetus indirectly by
    controlling maternal metabolic processes.
    2. Placental factors- placental hormones
    3. Foetal factors- foetal growth is influenced by genetic factors,
    hormones produced by foetal endocrine glands.
    IUGR- when the growth of the foetus is less
    than that seen in 90% of foetuses ( ie
    < 90th percentile)
    Causes of congenital anomalies
    • Factors that cause anomalies are called
    teratogens.
    • About 80% of congenital malformations
    are produced by a combination of genetic
    or chromosomal factors.
    Teratogens include
    1. Infections – TORCH complex
    2. Malnutrition
    3. Antigenic reactions
    4. Drugs and chemicals- thalidomide, aminopterin,
    diphenyl hydantoin, phenothiazines, lithium, diazepam,
    alcohol
    5. Hormones- synthetic oestrogens and progestins
    6. Physical factors- radiation
    Prenatal diagnosis
    • Prenatal diagnosis is the process of ruling in or out fetal
    anomalies or genetic disorders, to provide expecting
    parents with information and the opportunity to modify
    pregnancy management and/or postnatal care.
    Indications for prenatal diagnosis
    • Advanced maternal age
    • Multiple pregnancy losses (≥3)
    • Known or suspected family history of genetic disease or
    multifactorial disorder
    • Ethnicity at increased risk for genetic disease
    • Teratogens
    • Abnormal ultrasound findings
    • Abnormal maternal serum screen results
    Methods of prenatal diagnosis

    1. Chorionic villus sampling


    2. Amniocentesis
    3. Percutaneous umbilical blood sampling
    4. Pre-implantation genetic diagnosis and preconception testing-
    Polar body testing and blastomere testing
    5. Ultrasound is used from the second trimester to identify major
    fetal structural anomalies and fetal anatomical markers.
    6. Maternal serum screening- is used to identify women at
    increased risk of having a child with trisomies 18 or 21 or an
    open neural tube defect (NTD), while posing no risk to
    pregnancy. AFP, HCG
    7. FISH, Chromosome analysis, Karyotype analysis- is mainly used
    to detect the presence or absence of microdeletions,
    microduplications and aneuploidy.
    8. DNA molecular analysis
    9. Biochemical analysis
