Video Summary
The development of the face and palate is a complex process that begins with the fusion of two embryological tissues, the neural crest, and the plate. The face starts to develop around week four until week 6 of prenatal life. At week six, the palate starts developing, and allows the separation between the nasal and oral cavities at around the 12th week.
