Q

Outline the development of the nose

A

Nasal placodes sink to become nasal pits
Medial and lateral prominences form on either side of pits
Maxillary prominences grow and push the nasal prominences towards the midline

Q

How does the eye develop?

A

Forebrain out pockets and contacts the ectoderm to become the lens placode which invaginates and pinches off. The retina is formed from the forebrains. Eyes originally on the side but move round to the middle
