Sensory System Development

From Embryology

Introduction

--Mark Hill 09:25, 14 April 2010 (EST) Page Template only - content from original UNSW Embryology site currently being edited and updated.

This section of notes is a introduction to development of senses (sight, smell, taste, hearing and balance) through the development of the specialized sense organs (eye, nose, tongue and ear). Portions of the eye, nose and ear appear very early in development as specialized surface regions (placodes) on the embryo, these regions must be connected to the central nervous system by neural pathways that originate as extensions of the central nervous system.

This section of notes will not specifically cover the central nervous system component of these sensory systems.
