LM # | Abbreviated biological definition | Landmark subsets | Trouble landmarks |
---|---|---|---|
1 | The dorsal midline point between the growing forebrain and midbrain lobes. | Non-Facial | |
2 | The dorso-rostral midline extent of the growing forebrain. | Non-Facial | Trouble |
3 | The midline dorsal most extent of the face. | Nasal | |
4 | Midline most rostral extent of the medial nasal processes. | Nasal | |
5 | The ventral midline point on the primary palate, in the region that develops into the vermillion of the lip. | Nasal | |
6 (23) | The border between the medial nasal process and the forebrain, in line with the center of the body of the medial nasal process. | Nasal | |
7 (24) | Most dorsal extent of the rostral portion of the lateral nasal process, marking the original rostrolateral intersection of the lateral nasal process and the forbrain. | Nasal | Trouble |
8 (25) | The dorso-caudal most point of the lateral nasal process. | Non-Facial | |
9 (26) | The caudal most point of the intersection between the lateral nasal process and the maxillary process, representing the caudal end of the future nasolacrimal duct. | Nasal | |
10 (27) | The caudo lateral projection of the dorsal edge of the maxillary process. | Maxillary/Mandibular | Trouble |
11 (28) | Point at the nasal aperture representing the intersection of the lateral nasal process and the maxillary process. | Maxillary/Mandibular | |
12 (29) | The most rostro-ventral intersection between the medial nasal process and the maxillary process. Between E10.5 and E11.5, it shows the growth of the medial nasal process as a contributor to the labial margin. | Nasal | |
13 (30) | The rostro-caudal most extension of the lateral nasal prominence, illustrating the rostral growth of the lateral nasal process between E10.5 and E12.5. | Nasal | Trouble |
14 (31) | Point representing the middle of the medial side of the nasal aperture as a lateral extent of the medial nasal process. | Nasal | |
15 (32) | The dorsal most point of the nasal aperture representing the rostro-dorsal extreme of the border between the medial and lateral nasal processes. | Nasal | |
16 (33) | The corner of the developing mouth, found at the most caudo-lateral point on the rostral border of the maxillary and mandibular processes. | Maxillary/Mandibular | |
17 (34) | The lateral extent of the center of the maxillary process as it exists in E10.5 and E11.5. | Maxillary/Mandibular | Trouble |
18 (35) | The intersection of the buldge of the trigeminal ganglion and the pontine flexure of the developing brain. | Non-Facial | Trouble |
20 (37) | The medial, rostral, dorsal corner of the developing mandibular process. | Maxillary/Mandibular | |
21 (38) | The ventral caudal most point on the bulge of the growing forebrain, as noted from the lateral perspective. | Non-Facial | Trouble |
22 | The most caudal midline point on back of the head, just ventral to the midbrain. | Non-Facial |
