Embryology Sequence Flashcards
The primitive oral cavity or stomodeum appears as a pit or invagination of tissue underlying the forebrain.
Late in the 3rd prenatal week
all face and all parts of the oral and nasal cavities developed from the frontal process and 1st branchial arch (Mandibular arch)
4th week
After establishment of the stomodeum, frontal process and branchial arches, the maxillary processes appear as small buds at the ends of the first branchial arch
4th week
Around the centrally located oral pit are grouped the frontal, maxillary, and mandibular arch. ALTHOUGH APPEARING UNRELATED THIS TIME, these processes and first arch from the human face.
4th week
These buds grow upward and medially at the left and right sides of the stomodeum
4th week
Above the stomodeum is the frontal process; below it is the 1st branchial arch
4th week
Frontal prominence forms the stomodeum
4th week
Nasal pit develop & appear on the sides of the face.
5th week
Frontal process become FRONTONASAL
5th week
After the maxillary processes have formed, a pair of depressions (olfactory pits) appear on the lower border of the frontal process.
5th week
The enlarged maxillary process is near contact with the medial nasal process.
6th week
NASAL PITS APPEAR MORE CENTRALLY LOCATED IN THE MEDIAL NASAL PROCESS. THIS IS THE RESULT OF GROWTH OF THE LATERAL FACE, WHICH ALSO CAUSES THE EYES TO APPROACH THE FRONT OF THE FACE
6th week
Auricular hillocks bordering the ear canal have emerged.
6th week
Lateral parts of the face expand, broadening the face which is caused by the lateral growth of the brain.
6th week
The lack of fusion of the medial nasal and maxillary processes results in cleft lips.
6th week
