Flashcards

Craniofacial development

The process of forming the structures of the face and skull during prenatal growth.

4th to 10th weeks

The period during which the face develops in utero.

Anterior portion of neural tube

The part of the neural tube that expands significantly to aid craniofacial development.

Paraxial mesoderm

The embryonic layer that forms seven somatomeres, contributing to craniofacial structures.

Study Notes

Craniofacial Development

  • The fundamental mechanisms involved in the development of the craniofacial region are patterning, morphogenesis, and differentiation.

Development of the Face

  • The development of the face occurs between the 3rd and 8th weeks of embryonic development.

Contribution to Craniofacial Development

  • The neural tube contributes to craniofacial development by expanding greatly into the forebrain, midbrain, and hindbrain.

Paraxial Mesoderm Formation

  • The paraxial mesoderm forms the somites during craniofacial development.

Neural Crest Cell Migration

  • The neural crest cells from the midbrain and the first two rhombomeres migrate to the first and second pharyngeal arches during craniofacial development.
