what is the germ disc
ectoderm and endoderm
what occurs around day 17
the primitive streak appears
ectoderm folds in on itself and produces the mesoderm
what occurs around 25th day
somites appear as well as neural groove and has lateral folding
neural tube begins to fuse
what develops the brain and spinal cord
the neural tube
what occurs if the neural tube doesnt fuse at 4 weeks
spina bifida
what occurs to neural crest cells that are left over after neural tube has fused
migrate forward to the front are important in facial development
what cells do neural crest cells develop into
spinal and autonomic ganglia
schwann cells
pulp/ dentine/ cementum and PDL
what is another term for neural crest cells
ectomesenchyme
what is the first pharyngeal arch split into
maxillary and mandibular processes
when does facial formation occur in utero
first eight weeks
what does the face develop from
neural crest cells migrating forward
when does fusion of the facial process occur
week 5-7
what does each of the pharyngeal arches have with them
a nerve

what nerve is associated with the first pharyngeal arch
trigeminal
what nerve is associated with the second pharyngeal arch
