A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Development of the face

Development of the face centres on how the frontonasal prominence, paired maxillary prominences, and paired mandibular prominences grow and fuse to form the normal facial features. For exams, you must master which embryonic prominence forms each adult structure, the role of the nasal placodes and prominences, and how failure of fusion produces common congenital anomalies such as cleft lip and oblique facial clefts.
