![]() In-Service Exam Cleft Lip/Palate - 2003 During embryologic development, which of the following structures arises from the frontonasal processes? (A) Columella Reproduced with permission of Arey LB, ed. Developmental Anatomy. 26th ed. Philadelphia, Pa: WB Saunders Co; 1970.
During embryologic
development, the nasal structures form during the sixth week of gestation
as the frontonasal and medial nasal processes enlarge and coalesce in
the midline. Any abnormalities occurring during this gestational stage
are likely to lead to the development of a cleft nasal deformity or other
nasal deformities. |
