5 prominences
Name the prominences that the face develops from & what structures they give:
Frontonasal prominance = forehead & bridge of nose Medial nasal prominance = midline nose & philturm of upper lip Lateral nasal prominance = alae of nose Maxillary prominance = cheeks & lateral upper lip Mandibular prominance = lower lip & jaw
how can the development of the primary palate be described?
the medial nasal prominance creates the inermaxillary process this forms the primary palate (becomes the anterior 1/3rd of definitive palate)
how can the formation of the secondary palate be described?
the maxillary prominance gives rise to lateral palatal shelves the palatal shelves fuse with each other in the horizontal plane and the nasal septum in the vertical plane
