Otic vesicle the lateral side will be paraxial mesoderm. Neural crest cells will migrate rostral and caudal to the placode. The general sequence in formation of the otic vesicle is relatively conserved across vertebrates, although there is much variation in timing and stages. Patterning during morphogenesis into the distinctive inner ear structures is determined by homeobox transcription factors including PAX2, DLX5 and DLX6, with the former specifying for ventral otic vesicle derived auditory structures and the latter two specifying for dorsal vestibular structures. The otic vesicle is derived from the cranial placode. The early otic vesicle is characterized as having broad competence
Anatomy for Beginners Anatomy for Beginners Anatomy for Beginners is a television show created by Gunther von Hagens. In this 4-part series, Dr von Hagens and Professor John Lee demonstrated the anatomical structure and workings of the body. The 4 episodes ("Movement", "Circulation", "Digestion" and "Reproduction") were screened in the United Kingdom on Channel 4 in 2005. The show features public anatomy demonstrations with the use of real human cadavers and live nude models (for Surface Anatomy and Surface Markings), carried out at Gunther von Hagens' "Institute for Plastination" in Heidelberg, Germany. Dr von Hagens’ public demonstrations are not formal anatomy dissections performed
