Fetal Head (12 weeks)

medial view, stained for bone and cartilage

In this medial (internal) view, note the distribution of cartilage from the nasal region through the base of the skull to the atlas/axis (with new bone forming). See also the original Meckel's cartilage within the newly forming bony mandible.

Note: Cartilage in the neck where the hyoid bone will eventually form. Meckel's cartilage visible in the medial view within the newly forming bone.
