day completed synaptic organs were abundant in the outer plexiform layer. Development of the inner synapses was found to be considerably slower than that of the outer ones. The loose cell processes in the inner plexiform layer began to form certain cellular junctions around the fifth day. However, the synaptic bars and vesicles were first seen on the eighth day. On the tenth day, the inner plex...

The development of ectoderm-derived appendages results in a large variety of highly specialized organs such as hair follicles, mammary glands, salivary glands, and teeth. Despite varying in number, shape, and function, all these ectodermal organs develop through continuous and reciprocal epithelial-mesenchymal interactions, sharing common morphological and molecular features especially during t...
