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.
Test your knowledge about the fundamental mechanisms involved in the development of the craniofacial region. Learn about growth, morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and pattern formation. Discover the key components and timeline of craniofacial development.
