    Study Notes

    Development of the Face

    • Facial development begins in the fourth week, dependent on the inductive influence of the forebrain, frontonasal ectodermal zone, and developing eye
    • Five facial primordia appear as prominences around the stomodeum (mouth): frontonasal, maxillary, mandibular, and paired nasal placodes
    • These prominences are produced mainly by the expansion of neural crest populations originating from the mesencephalic and rostral rhombencephalic neural folds
    • The frontonasal prominence forms the forehead, nasal part, and orbits; maxillary and mandibular prominences form the lateral boundaries and caudal boundary of the stomodeum, respectively

    Development of Palate

    • Palatogenesis begins in the sixth week, involving the primary and secondary palates
    • The primary palate, formed by merging medial nasal prominences, represents the anterior and midline aspect of the maxilla
    • The secondary palate develops from two mesenchymal projections (palatal shelves) extending from the internal aspects of the maxillary prominences
    • Lateral palatine processes assume a horizontal position above the tongue, eventually forming the hard and soft parts of the palate

    Development of Nasal Cavities

    • Nasal placodes (primordia of nasal epithelium) develop on the inferolateral parts of the frontonasal prominence
    • Mesenchyme in the margins of the placodes proliferate, producing horseshoe-shaped elevations, the medial and lateral nasal prominences
    • Nasolacrimal duct develops from a rod-like thickening of ectoderm in the floor of the nasolacrimal groove
    • By the end of the sixth week, the nasal pits have formed, and the nasal cavities are separated from the oral cavity by the oronasal membrane

    Postnatal Development of Paranasal Sinuses

    • Paranasal sinuses, such as maxillary sinuses, begin to develop during late fetal life; others develop after birth
    • Original openings of the diverticula persist as the orifices of the adult sinuses
    • Maxillary sinuses grow slowly until puberty and are not fully developed until early adulthood
    • Frontal and sphenoidal sinuses are not present at birth, but grow rapidly around 2 years of age
