mouth opening.
fourth week
Facial prominences (frontonasal, maxillary, mandibular) are produced by proliferation of cranial _______.
neural crest cells
Facial development occurs mainly between the ______ weeks
fourth and eighth
______ (developed from nasal placodes) move toward the midline, where your nose will be
nasal pits
The _______ forms at the boundary between pharyngeal arches 1 and 2.

Fusion vs Merging
In fusion, there is a breakdown. Merging is a reconfiguration.
Name the five processes that fuse during development
2 maxillary, 2 mandibular, frontonasal
Stomodeum
Primitive mouth (the five process fuse around this)
An elevation on the face anterior to the brain bulge
Frontal Prominence
- Thickening of ectoderm on the frontal prominence
- Indicates the development of the future nose
Nasal Placode
- Depression in the nasal placode indicating the external nares
- Note the openings of the nasal cavity are separate from each other
Nasal Pit
Horseshoe shaped ridge along the superior aspect of the nasal pits
Nasal Processes
- Medial portion of the horseshoe shaped ridge
- Contributes to portions of the upper lip
Medial Nasal Process
- Lateral portion of the horseshoe shaped ridge
- Contributes to the lateral portion of the nose
Lateral Nasal Process
______ sink into nasal pits, the precursors of nostrils and nasal cavities
Nasal placodes
_______ form sides of nose
Lateral nasal prominences
______ fuse, form nasal septum and ethmoid bone.
Medial nasal prominences
Medial nasal prominences
merge with each other and with ________.
maxillary prominences
_______ separate the lateral nasal prominences from the maxillary prominences
Nasolacrimal grooves
By the end of the fifth week, six auricular hillocks indicate development of the _____.
external ear
