| What embryonic layers are involved in facial development? | All threee layers. (ectoderm, mesoderm, & endoderm) |
| What does the facial development include? | The formation of the primitive mouth, mandibular arch, maxillary process, frontonasal process, & nose. |

| What is formed when the medial nasal processes fuse together internally? | it grows inferiorly on the inside of the stomodeum to form the intermaxillary segment (or premaxillary segment) |
| What does the intermaxillary segment later form? | The maxillary incisors & associated tissues, the primary palate & the nasal septum. |
| What are the two crescent-shaped swelling on the outer portion of the nasal pits? | The lateral nasal processes |
| What do the two lateral nasal processes form? | The alae, or sides of the nose. |
| What is formed by the fusion of the lateral nasal, maxillary & medial nasal processes? | the nares, or nostrils |
| What is formed from the mandibular arch superiorly & anteriorly on each side of the stomodeum? | The maxillary process |
| What does the maxillary process consist of? | It is formed from mesenchyme provided by neural crest cells. (neuromesenchyme or ectomesenchyme) |
| What will the maxillary process become? | the midface, including the side of the upper lip, cheeks, secondary palate (palatal shelves), posterior portion of the maxilla, max canines, post teeth & assoc. tissue, zygomatic bones & portions of the temporal bones. |
| What is formed by the fusion of the maxillary processes & the mandibular arch? | labial commissures |
| How is the upper lip formed? | From the fusion of the two maxillary processes with each medial nasal process. |
| What is formed from the fusion of each maxillary process with the lateral nasal process? | Nasolacrimal cord |
| What does the nasolacrimal cord become? | the nasolacrimal duct |
| What is developing during the same time of the development of the face? | the neck |
| What is formed from the anterior portion of the foregut? | The primitive pharynx |
| What does the branchial apparatus (or pharyngeal apparatus) consists of? | branchial arches, branchial grooves & membranes & pharyngeal pouches |
| What are branchial arches? | Six pairs of U-shaped bars with a core of mesenchyme. |
