31
Q

What does the face develop from?

A

5 processes

32
Q

What are the 5 processes that the face will develop from?

A

Frontonasal process
Two maxillary processes
Two mandibular processes

33
Q

How are the nasal placodes formed?

A

Rapid downward growth of the frontonasal process

34
Q

What happens to the nasal placodes?

A

Invaginate to form the nasal pit, which will form the nostrils

35
Q

How are the nostrils and mouth separated?

A

Formation of 2 medial processes which fuse and 2 lateral nasal processes

36
Q

What do to medial processed form?

A

Philtrum and septum

37

Q

What do the mandibular processes form from?

A

1st brachial arch mesoderm

39
Q

What do the mandibular processes do?

A

Fuse in the middle to separate oral and nasal cavities

40
Q

What forms the flat bones of the skull?

A

Membranous ossification

41
Q

What forms the irregular bones of the skull?

A

Endochondral ossification

42
Q

What forms the skeleton of the face?

A

Branchial arches and sensory capsules

43
Q

What is the process of membranous ossification?

A

Mesenchyme directly above the surface of the brain ossifies

44
Q

What forms the mesenchyme around the notochord?

A

Mainly neural crest cells

Q

What are the sensory capsules derived from?

A

Mesoderm of somites in head and neck
