22
Q

What happens to the 2nd-4th pharyngeal clefts?

A

27
Q

What are otic placodes?

A

Thickening/invagination of ectoderm at back of embryo

28
Q

What are otic vesicles?

A

Endocytosed otic placode that gives rise to inner ear

i.e. otic placode - otic pit - otic vesicle

29
Q

What 3 regions develop as part of the otic vesicle?

A 
Endolymphatic duct sac
Utricular portion (forms semicircular canals)
Saccular portion (forms cochlea)
30

34
Q

What nasal features develop from the frontonasal prominence?

A

Bridge

Bony septum

35
Q

What nasal features develop from the medial nasal prominences?

A

Crest + tip of nose

36
Q

What nasal features develop from the lateral nasal prominences?

A

Alae (sides of nostrils)

37
Q

What does the primary palate form from?

A

Intermaxillary segment (formed by fusion of 2 medial nasal prominences)

38
Q

What does the labial portion of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?

A

Philtrum of upper lip

39
Q

What does the upper jaw component of the intermaxillary segment give rise to?

A

Carries 4 incisors

40
Q

What does the secondary palate form from?

A

Palatine shelves that grow downwards from maxillary prominences

41
