Contractions

error

"The apparatus resembles the branchia (gills) of fish and amphibians, which obviously don't form in the human. Hence the description of pharyngeal arches etc. is more correct and advised."

Line 2:89 · Never use contractions: use 'do not' in place of 'don't'.

Oxford Comma

suggestion

"The branchial (or pharyngeal) apparatus is the complex region in the developing embryo between the head and chest that develops in the fourth week and provides bilateral ridges and valleys that subsequently develop into numerous anatomic structures of the head, face, palate and anterior neck. The development of structures from the apparatus helps explain the complex cranial nerve distribution in some regions."

Line 1:283 · Use the Oxford comma in 'face, palate and anterior'.

"The apparatus consists of paired symmetrical pharyngeal arches, pouches, grooves and membranes that develop from the ectoderm and in part from the pharyngeal part of the primitive foregut (see figure 1). They start forming in week 4 and by about week 7 the differentiation and migration of structures from the branchial apparatus is complete."

Line 4:68 · Use the Oxford comma in 'pouches, grooves and membranes'.

"neural crest cell derivatives: thyroid, corniculate and cuneiform cartilages"

Line 64:42 · Use the Oxford comma in 'thyroid, corniculate and cuneiform'.
