During the third week there appears, immediately behind the ventral ends of the two halves of themandibular arch , a rounded swelling named thetuberculum impar , which was described by His as undergoing enlargement to form the buccal part of thetongue . More recent researches, however, show that this part of the tongue is mainly, if not entirely, developed from a pair of lateral swellings (or distal tongue bud) which rise from the inner surface of the mandibular arch and meet in the middle line.External links
