Q

what does the 4th pharyngeal pouch develop into?

A

superior parathyroid gland

ultimobranchial body

25
Q

what are otic placodes?

A

thickening of the ectoderm at the back of the embryo

26
Q

what are otic vesicles?

A

endocytosed otic placode that gives rise to the inner ear

27
Q

what three regions develop as part of the otic vesicle?

33
Q

what nasal features develop from the medial nasal prominence?

A

34
Q

what nasal features develop from the lateral nasal prominences?

A

alae (side of nostrils)

35
Q

what does the primary palate form from?

A

intermaxillary segment

formed by the fusion of two medial nasal prominences

36
Q

what does the labial portion of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?

A

philtrum of upper lip

37
Q

what does the upper jaw component of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?

A

carries four incisors

38
Q

what does the secondary palate form from?

A

palatine shelves that grow downwards from maxillary prominences

39
Q

is cleft palate more common in females or males?

A

females

failure of fusion of secondary palate

40
Q

is cleft lip more common in females or males?

A
