Development of face Flashcards
What is the face of the embryo made up of early in development?
Frontonasal prominence
1st pharyngeal arch
- maxillary prominence
- mandibular mandibular prominence
Stomatodeum
What is the stomatodeum?
Buccopharyngeal membrane
What happens to the buccopharyngeal membrane? Why?
Breaks down
because it is avascular, lacks blood supply
Where are the eyes located on the face of the embryo early in development?
Sides of the frontonasal prominence
What does the frontonasal prominence develop into?
Forehead
Bridge of nose, nose
Philtrum
What is the philtrum?
Ridge above the upper lip in the middle
What do the maxillary prominences develop into?
Cheeks
Lateral upper lip
Lateral upper jaw
What do the mandibular prominences develop into?
Lower lip
Jaw
What structures contribute to the development of the nose?
Nasal placodes, pits
Medial nasal prominence
Lateral nasal prominence
What is a placode?
Ectodermal thickening
differentiates to give rise to sensory tissue
What happens to the nasal placodes?
Sinks to form pits called the nasal pits
Where are the nasal placodes and pit located?
Frontonasal prominence
What is the medial nasal prominence?
Prominence medial to the nasal pit
What is the lateral nasal prominence?
Prominence lateral to the nasal pit
How does the nose develop?
Maxillary prominences grow towards each other
push the medial and lateral nasal prominences with them
medial nasal prominences fuse in midline
medial nasal prominence fuses with maxillary prominence
