Popis: Embryology of fetal face, the formation of fetal palate and the components of palatine bone have been discussed in this chapter. Development of the human face begins from the fourth week, and the external face is completed by the sixth week of gestation. The development of the palate occurs between the sixth to tenth week of gestation followed by ossification of the palate and completion of the soft palate by the twelfth week. The palate subdivides the nasal and oral cavities by the eighth week of gestation.
