Study Notes
Neural Crest Cells
- Develop from ectoderm along the lateral margins of the neural plate
- Undergo extensive migration
- Responsible for the development of many skeletal and connective tissues, including:
- Bone
- Cartilage
- Dentin
- Dermis
- Not responsible for the development of enamel
Dental Lamina
- Begins development at 6 weeks of embryonic age
- Differentiates from the expansion of the basal layer of the oral cavity epithelium
- Gives rise to tooth buds
Tooth Bud Components
- Enamel organ
- Dental papilla
- Dental sac
