Handedness and the side on which pharyngeal pouches occur.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Pharyngeal pouches present far more commonly on the left side of the neck than the right. Sixty one patients with a history of pharyngeal pouch were questioned about their handedness and about whether they had had symptoms or signs predominantly on one side of the neck before receiving treatment. There was a highly significant association between handedness and pharyngeal pouches on the opposite side of the neck. It is suggested that this is the reason for the rarity of right sided pouches.

The role of actin cables in directing the morphogenesis of the pharyngeal pouches.
The pharyngeal arches are separated by endodermal outpocketings, the pharyngeal pouches. These are structures of considerable importance; they are required to segregate the mesenchymal populations of each arch and to induce the formation of arch components, and they generate specific derivatives, including the parathyroid and the thymus. The pharyngeal pouches are first evident as localised sit...
متن کاملAn essential role for Fgfs in endodermal pouch formation influences later craniofacial skeletal patterning.
Fibroblast growth factor (Fgf) proteins are important regulators of pharyngeal arch development. Analyses of Fgf8 function in chick and mouse and Fgf3 function in zebrafish have demonstrated a role for Fgfs in the differentiation and survival of postmigratory neural crest cells (NCC) that give rise to the pharyngeal skeleton. Here we describe, in zebrafish, an earlier, essential function for Fg...
متن کاملPhenotypic characterization of the murine Nkx2.6 homeobox gene by gene targeting.
The NK-2 homeobox genes have been shown to play critical roles in the development of specific organs and tissues. Nkx2.6 is a member of the NK-2 homeobox gene family and is most closely related to the Drosophila tinman gene. Nkx2.6 is expressed in the caudal pharyngeal pouches, the caudal heart progenitors, the sinus venosus, and the outflow tract of the heart and in a short segment of the gut ...
متن کاملReiterative expression of pax1 directs pharyngeal pouch segmentation in medaka.
A striking characteristic of vertebrate development is the pharyngeal arches, which are a series of bulges on the lateral surface of the head of vertebrate embryos. Although each pharyngeal arch is segmented by the reiterative formation of endodermal outpocketings called pharyngeal pouches, the molecular network underlying the reiterative pattern remains unclear. Here, we show that pax1 plays c...
متن کاملThe pharyngeal pouches and clefts: Development, evolution, structure and derivatives.
The pharyngeal arches form the face and neck of the developing embryo. The pharyngeal tissue is divided into distinct arches by the formation of clefts and pouches in between the arches. These clefts and pouches form at the juxtaposition between the ectoderm and endoderm and develop into a variety of essential structures, such as the ear drum, and glands such as the thymus and parathyroids. How...
