Facial Primordia
Facial Primordia
> appear early in the 4th week to 8th week nares (nostrils) and nasal cavity.
> Gives rise to stomodeum Mesenchymal cells are the majorsource
> arise from 1st branchial arch that split in of the connective tissuecomponents,
mandibular and maxillary. including muscles, cartilage, bone, and
ligaments in thefacial and in the oral
5 Facial Primordia appear as prominences

1. Superior longitudinal
Shortens the tongue
Turns the apex and sides of the tongue
upward to make the dorsum concave
Origin: submucous fibrous layer below
the dorsum of the tongue and lingual
septum lingual septum=(naghahati sa
tongue into 2)
Insertion: extends to the lingual margin
2. Inferior longitudinal
Shortens the tongue
Makes the dorsum convex
Origin: root of tongue
Insertion: apex of tongue
3. Transverse
Narrows and elongates the tongue
Origin: median fibrous septum
Insertion: fibrous tissue at the margins
of tongue.
4. Vertical
Flattens and broadens the tongue
Origin: borders of the anterior part of
the tongue.
Insertion: ventral surface of the borders
of the tongue.
