Face and Palate Embryology Flashcards
Stromodeum
becomes mouth, junction of 5 prominences
Frontonasal, maxillary, mandibular prominences
become face
Placodes
thickened plate of ectoderm, sense organs develop around these
Nasal placodes become
nasal pits –> nostrils
Maxillary segment
fused medial nasal prominences
Nasolacrimal groove origin
develops from ectoderm
What does nasolacrimal groove become?
nasolacrimal duct
What happens is nasolacrimal groove does not open?
lots of tearing, possible eye infections
Oronasal membrane
separates oral and nasal cavity
What separates the oral and nasal cavities at 7 weeks?
primary palate
Where are olfactory receptor cells derived from?
placodes
When does the secondary palate form?
12 weeks
Muccalpharyngeal membrane
becomes separation to hard and soft palates
Choana atresia
problems breathing
Critical period of development for palate
6-9 weeks
