    Study Notes

    Pharyngeal Arches

    • Develop during the fourth and fifth weeks of development.
    • Important for the formation of the neck and face.

    Facial Development

    • The stomodeum forms the center of the face at the end of the fourth week of development.
    • Surrounded by the first pair of pharyngeal arches.
    • Five mesenchymal prominences can be recognized at four weeks:
      • Two mandibular prominences.
      • Two maxillary prominences.
      • One frontonasal prominence.

    Foliate Papillae

    • Rudimentary in humans.
    • Develop on the lateral borders of the tongue near the sulcus terminalis.
    • Epithelial growth forms ridges in the substance of the tongue.
