Thyroid diverticulum
What is the name for four pairs of ectodermal inpocketings that lie opposite tot he associated pharyngeal pouches?
pharyngeal grooves
What is the name for five pairs of mesenchymal masses that lie between the pharyngeal pouches and grooves?
Pharyngeal (branchial) arches
What is an aortic arch?
single artery within each pharyngeal arch that connects the ventral aorta to the dorsal aorta
In the neural tube, what is the function of the basic signaling center?

by FGF8 from pharyngeal endoderm
Frontonasal ectodermal zone is induced by what from where?
shh from forebrain
