Question 11

outline the embryology of the tongue?

Answer 11

starts at week 4
tubercula impar arises from 1st pharyngeal arch
lateral lingual swellings grow and cover the median tongue bud and fuse to form the anterior 2/3rds of the tongue
the copula forms from the 3rd and 4th pharyngeal arches and grows over the 2nd pharyngeal arch
anterior 2/3rds and posterior 1/3rd of the tongue fuse at the sulcus terminalis
