Q

How do most facial tissues develop?

A
  1. Most of the facial tissues develop by fusion of swellings or tissue on the same surface of the embryo.
  2. A cleft or furrow is initially located between these adjacent swellings due to proliferation, differentiation, and morphogenesis.

Q

Describe facial fusion

A
  1. Furrows are usually eliminated as the underlying mesenchyme migrates into the furrow making the embryonic facial surface smooth.
  2. This migration takes place because adjacent mesenchyme grows and merges beneath the external ectoderm during the maturation of the structure.
  3. E.g. hillocks of the ear
