between weeks 6 and 8
60
What happens to the surrounding mesenchyme in the cochlea between weeks 6-8?
becomes cartilaginous and ossifies nad forms cavities
61
How does the organ of Corti develop?
develops from the cochlear duct, develops tectorial membrane and then 3 rows of outer hair cells and 1 row of innter hair cells

What are the 4 nasal swellings that develop in the frontonasal prominence in week 5?
2 medial and 2 lateral nasal swellings
85
How do the nasal swellings develop?
the nasal placodes begin to invaginate, tissue surrounding invagination begins to swell
86

between the maxillary prominence and the lateral nasal prominence
87
Where do the eyes develop in relation to the nasal swellings?
lateral
88
How do the medial nasal swelling and maxillary prominences join together?
maxillary prominence puts pressure on nasal wellings moving them medially, as this happens the medial swelling develops downwards to medial edge of maxillary prominence to join together
89
Hwo does the nasolacrimal duct form?
ectoderm proliferates to form a solic epithelial cord which detaches from the ectoderm and canalises to form the duct
90

philtrum of upper lip
98
What does the upper jaw of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?
carries 4 incisors
99
What does the palatal component of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?

maxillary promineneces
101
What happens during week 7 of the devleopment of the secondary palate?

What is found at the meeting of the primary and the 2 sides of the secondary palates?
incisive foramen
103
What happens during week 6 with the nasal cavities?
nasal pits deepen and penetrate into underlying mesenchyme
104
What separates the nasal pits from the oral cavity during week 6?
oronasal membrane
105
What happens to the oronasal membrae and what does this result in?
breaks down so the oral and nasal cavities are one
106
What is the communication between the nasal and oral cavities called?
primitive choanae
107
When does the definitive choanae arise?
with the secondary palate- so communication is behind that
