The
chordamesoderm induces the formation of
Neural
crest. From the ectoderm, due to the interactive inductive stimuli between
cells separated by a distance for a short time, neural crest cells are
formed.
The
set of cells that arise from the ectoderm along the lateral margins of neural
plate are the
Neural
crest. These cells undergo migration at the time of neural tube closure.
Of
all the hard tissues of oral cavity the one that is non-neural crest in
origin is the 
Enamel.
Enamel is derived from inner enamel epithelium that arises from oral
ectodermal lining.
Migrating
neural crest cells in the upper facial region forms 
The
entire mesenchyme. In the lower facial arch region the migrating neural crest
cells surround the pharyngeal arch to form the bars, whereas in the upper
facial region they ramify and form the entire mesenchyme.
Most
of the sensory neurons of cranial sensory ganglia originate from 
Neural
crest tissues. Only in the trunk they originate from neural crest cells. In
head most of them are derived from surface ectoderm.
The
neural crest cells aggregate around the neural tube where the 
Sensory
ganglia of 5th, 7th, 9th and 10th
Cranial nerve form
The
condensed masses of cells of mesodermal origin adjacent to neural tube
are 
Somites.
They give rise to muscle cells
The
first formed supporting cells of blood vessels from the ectomesenchyme are
the 
Pericytes
The
growth and fusion of upper facial prominences produces the 
Primary
and secondary palate
Inductive
influences originating from forebrain initiate the formation of 
Nasal
placodes. Before the neural crest cell migration, the surface ectoderm lies
in apposition to portions o developing forebrain. After this induction, the
mesenchymal tissues separate the ectoderm from developing forebrain.
The
“Placodes” are thickenings of 
Ectoderm.
These ectodermal thickenings give rise to various vital sense organs such as
the lens and olfactory epithelium.
The
nasal placodes will give rise to 
Sensory
epithelium of olfaction
The
medial and lateral nasal prominences contact each other 
Below
nasal pit. With this contact the epithelium breaks down so that the
mesenchyme becomes continuous.
In
human embryo the medial and lateral nasal prominences fuses during 
Fifth
week IUL
Initial
nasal passage is formed near the fusion of medial and lateral nasal placodes
by 
Accumulation
of fluid between epithelial cells. This fluid accumulation causes the
epithelial cells to separate creating a passage at about 5th week
of intrauterine life and connects the olfactory pit with the roof of
primitive oral cavity.
The
medial and lateral nasal prominences fuse and give rise to 
Primary
palate
The
roof of the anterior part of primitive oral cavity is formed by 
Primary
palate
The
primary palate gives rise to the 
Part
of upper lip, anterior maxilla and upper incisors
The
secondary palate arises from the 
Medial
edge of maxillary prominences
The
palatal shelves growth direction is
Downward
beside tongue. This growth occurs beside the tongue when it probably fills
partially the nasal cavity.
In
humans, the palatal shelves fuse at about 
Ninth
week intrauterine life
Alteration
in the epithelium at the medial edge of the palatine shelves before its
fusion causes
Cessation
of cell division; Raise in cAMP; Increased surface adhesive glycoprotein. The
cessation of cell division is mediated by a various biochemical pathways. In
addition apoptosis is also noted. 
During
secondary palate formation the palatal shelves, in anterior region, are
brought to horizontal position by 
Rotational
movement
During
secondary palate formation the palatal shelves, in posterior region, are
brought to horizontal position by 
Remodeling
and rotational movement. Shelves are incapable of elevation till tongue is
withdrawn. This occurs with the help of contractile elements. Remodeling
brings about change in shape. 
The
pituitary gland develops from 
Ventral
forebrain and oral ectoderm. As a result of inductive interaction between the
ventral forebrain and oral ectoderm and is hence derived from both the
tissues.
In
humans, the total number of visceral arches is 
Six
Mesodermal
core of each visceral arch is primarily concerned with the formation of 
Vascular
endothelial cells
In
humans, the rudimentary pharyngeal arch is 
Fifth
The
proximal part of the first visceral arch forms 
Maxillary
prominence
The
mesoderm of mandibular and hyoid arch gives rise to 
5th
and 7th Nerve musculature
The
mesoderm of 3rd and 4th arch gives rise to 
9th
and 10th Nerve musculature
The
crest mesenchymal cells of visceral arches give rise to the 
Skeletal
components; Connective tissues; Tongue
In
humans, the tongue formation initiates in the 
Ventral
floor of pharynx
During
development, the covering of tongue is 
Anterior
two third ectoderm and posterior one third endoderm
Mesenchymal
component of anterior two thirds of human tongue are derived from 
Third
arch mesenchyme
The
lateral extension from the inner groove between first and second arch gives
to 
Eustachian
tube
The
pinna is formed from 
Both
first and second arch
The
embroyonic period of human lasts till 
Eighth
week intrauterine life
The
most common defect of embryonic facial development is the 
Cleft
of primary and or secondary palate
Excess
doses of vitamin A given to mother during pregnancy causes defects similar
to 
Treacher-Collin
syndrome
The
result of persistence of tuberculum impar after tongue formation is suggested
to cause 
Median
rhomboid glossitis. This is an earlier hypothesis which is disagreed now and
infection with candidal organism is the cause suggested now. Improper or
incomplete union of the lateral lingual processes produces scrotal tongue and
partial union produces the bifid or cleft tongue. Agenesis will be produced
by the non formation of the lingual processes.
