(52 cards)
Facial primordia appear early in the ____ week, and coincides with
mouth opening.
fourth week
Facial prominences (frontonasal, maxillary, mandibular) are produced by proliferation of cranial _______.
neural crest cells
Facial development occurs mainly between the ______ weeks
fourth and eighth
______ (developed from nasal placodes) move toward the midline, where your nose will be
nasal pits
The _______ forms at the boundary between pharyngeal arches 1 and 2.
external ear
Fusion vs Merging
In fusion, there is a breakdown. Merging is a reconfiguration.
Name the five processes that fuse during development
2 maxillary, 2 mandibular, frontonasal
Stomodeum
Primitive mouth (the five process fuse around this)
An elevation on the face anterior to the brain bulge
Frontal Prominence
- Thickening of ectoderm on the frontal prominence
- Indicates the development of the future nose
Nasal Placode
- Depression in the nasal placode indicating the external nares
- Note the openings of the nasal cavity are separate from each other
Nasal Pit
Horseshoe shaped ridge along the superior aspect of the nasal pits
Nasal Processes
- Medial portion of the horseshoe shaped ridge
- Contributes to portions of the upper lip
Medial Nasal Process
- Lateral portion of the horseshoe shaped ridge
- Contributes to the lateral portion of the nose
Lateral Nasal Process
______ sink into nasal pits, the precursors of nostrils and nasal cavities
Nasal placodes
_______ form sides of nose
Lateral nasal prominences
______ fuse, form nasal septum and ethmoid bone.
Medial nasal prominences
Medial nasal prominences
merge with each other and with ________.
maxillary prominences
_______ separate the lateral nasal prominences from the maxillary prominences
Nasolacrimal grooves
By the end of the fifth week, six auricular hillocks indicate development of the _____.
external ear
The ______ are initially located in the neck region, but ascend to sides of head, at level of eyes
external ears
Fusion of the Medial Nasal Processes forms which external features of the face?
- Bridge of the nose
- Philtrum of the lip
Fusion of the Medial Nasal Processes forms which internal structures?
- Incisor bearing segment of the maxilla
- Primary palate
- Lateral outgrowth of the mandibular arch
- Contributes to the formation of the maxilla
Maxillary Process
