The cells that build the face
How this session lines up with the PLTW curriculum and the WebXam for each class it touches, including the vocabulary, concepts, and skills you share.
The classes below may be taught in different terms. This research track runs all year with HOSA, so a connection means the ideas line up, not that the class meets this week.
HBS studies cells and tissues and how the body is built; neural crest is the source of facial bone and cartilage.
072040 Human Anatomy and Physiology
Domain: Human Body Form, Function, and Pathophysiology
HBS's cells-and-tissues foundation explains where the bone and connective tissue of the face come from.
PBS introduces how structures form during development.
072110 Principles and Practice of Biomedical Technology
Domain: Biotechnology Research and Experiments
The face PBS describes is built by the neural crest cells this session follows.
