Study Notes
Nasal Cavities Development
- During the sixth week, nasal pits deepen significantly due to the growth of surrounding nasal prominences and their penetration into the underlying mesenchyme.
- Initially, the oronasal membrane separates the nasal pits from the primitive oral cavity, forming the primitive choanae.
- The primitive choanae are located on each side of the midline, immediately behind the primary palate.
- As the secondary palate forms and the primitive nasal chambers develop, the definitive choanae shift location.
- The definitive choanae are positioned at the junction of the nasal cavity and the pharynx.
- Paranasal air sinuses develop as diverticula of the lateral nasal wall.
- These sinuses extend into the maxilla, ethmoid, frontal, and sphenoid bones.
- The paranasal air sinuses reach their maximum size during puberty.
- The size of the paranasal air sinuses contribute to the final shape of the face.
