Question 24

what does Neural crest form

Answer 24

Pharyngeal arch skeleton,
Also viscerocranium,
glandular connective tissue,
parts of the neurocranium, teeth, interact with
ectodermal placodes for ganglia/sensory nerve forma1on

Question 25

what do Ectodermal placodes form

Answer 25

with neural crest to form neurones of sensory ganglia | (V,VII, IX and X) also sensory apparatus (eyes/nose not shown)
