Aim: To introduce the developmental embryology of the head and face, and their associated abnormalities.

Specific Objectives:

To understand the formation and contribution of the pharyngeal arches to face and neck development.
To know the main structures derived from components of the pharyngeal arches (groove, pouch and arch connective tissue).
To briefly understand some abnormalities associated with head development.

This animation shows a ventral view of development of the human face from approximately week 5 through to neonate.
