Around day 26
27

Shifted towards midline with medial growth of maxillary prominences; regulated by PDGFRA; fusion results in formation of inter maxillary segment (philtrum)

Separated from maxillary prominence by nasolacrimal groove; merges with maxillary prominence by end of week 6
33
What is the auricular primordia?
6 auricular hillocks form around the 1st pharyngeal groove; development of the mandible pushes ears from neck to side of the head at the level of the eyes
34
While on your NICU rotation, you are called to the delivery room to evaluate a newborn who is in respiratory distress.

Lateral nasal prominence
35
Which signaling molecule is responsible for development of both mandibular processes and removing webbing from the hands/feet?

36
Mesenchyme from medial and lateral nasal prominences induce nasal pits to become deeper. These are called what?
Primordial nasal sacs
37
What is the primordial choanae?

38
What is the nasal conchae?

39

40
Palatogenesis occurs in 2 stages. Between what week does this occur and when is the critical period?
Occurs between weeks 6-12; critical period is end of week 6 to the beginning of week 9
41
What is the primary palate?
Fusion of medial nasal prominences to form the median palatine process; located between maxillary prominences; forms premaxillary part of maxilla
42
What is the secondary palate?
Develops from lateral palatine processes (palatal shelves); mesenchymal projections extending from internal aspects of maxillary prominences
43
What is the final palate?
Bone extends from the maxillae and palatine bones into lateral palatine processes to form the hard palate; posterior portions don’t ossify (becomes soft palate and uvula)
44
What is the palatine raphe?
Line of fusion in final palate
45
What is the incisive fossa in the hard palate a remnant of?
Nasopalatine canal
46
What is the nasal septum?
Downward growth of internal parts of merged medial nasal prominences; fuses with lateral palatine processes anterior to posterior
47
What is the most common craniofacial malformation?
Cleft lip and palate
48
What causes cleft lip and palate?
Defects in fusion; can be unilateral or bilateral, but unilateral cleft lip on the left is most common
49
What environmental factors can cause cleft lip and palate?
Antiepileptic drugs, smoking, binge drinking, folate deficiency, and obesity
50
What is choanal atresia?
Associated with bony abnormalities of the pterygoid plates and midfacial growth abnormalities; presents as upper airway obstruction, noisy breathing, or cyanosis that worsens during feeding and improves with crying
51
Choanal atresia can also be part of what other syndromes?
Treacher-Collins, CHARGE, Kallman, or VACTERL syndromes
52
What part of the tongue is called the oral part?
Anterior 2/3
53
Describe oral part of tongue development
Medial lingual swelling (median tongue bud) appears at the end of 4th week; 2 lateral tongue swellings (distal tongue buds) develop on either side of medial lingual swelling; induced by mesenchyme from PA1
54
Where does the copula of the pharyngeal part of the tongue come from?
Ventromedial part of PA2
55
Where does the hypopharyngeal eminence of the pharyngeal part of the tongue come from?
