Thyroid gland Largest endocrine gland located in anterior & lateral regions
of the neck, inferior to thyroid cartilage; it secretes
products/hormones directly into blood.
Frontal region Forehead & area above eyes.
Mental region Chin.
Buccal region Cheek forming side of face.
Orbital region Eyeball and its supporting structures.
Temporal region Lateral to eyes and inferior to the forehead.
Masseter Powerful bilateral muscle of mastication responsible for
elevation of mandible during closing of the jaws.
, Lateral pterygoid Located in the infratemporal fossa of the skull; responsible for
unilateral contraction and lateral deviation of mandible.
Medial pterygoid Located between pterygoid plates of sphenoid bone and
adjoining surfaces; responsible for bilateral contraction and
elevation of mandible when closing jaws.
Sternocleidomastoid Large strap muscle that is easily palpated.
Platysma Neck muscle that pulls corners of mouth down.
Solar damage/scar tissue Disruption of the vermillion zone and border.
Nares Separated by the nasal septum.
Maxillary tuberosity Bone distal to the last molar in the maxillary arch.
Linea alba White ridge of calloused tissue where maxillary and
mandibular teeth meet, caused by biting cheeks and cleaning
& grinding.
Lingual papilla Small elevated structures of specialized mucosa, some
associated with taste buds.
Incisive papilla Small projection on the hard palate.
Filiform papilla Most common on body; gives tongue the velvety texture.
Fungiform papilla Lesser on body; contains taste buds.
Foliate papilla About 4-11 vertical ridges on lateral surface of posterior
tongue.
Circumvallate papilla 7-15 large raised mushroom shaped structures anterior to
sulcus terminals.
Ectoderm, mesoderm and endoderm Originate from the epiblast layer.
Chromosomes for male and female Woman- XX; Man- XY.
Treacher-Collins syndrome Failure of migration of the NCC to the facial region.
Ectodermal dysplasia Abnormal development of one or more structures from
ectoderm, causing abnormalities of teeth, skin, hair, nails and
facial structures.
Epidermis development Develops from ectoderm.
Placodes Transient thickenings of the embryonic head and ectoderm
that develop into sensory organ and other systems, including
2 lens placodes, 2 otic (ear) placodes, and 2 nasal placodes.
Facial development Begins 4th week and completed week 12
Neck & Face Development 12th Week (fetal period)
