By the upgrowth of the surrounding parts the olfactory areas are converted into pits, the [[olfactory pit]]s, which indent the fronto-nasal process and divide it into a medial and two '''lateral nasal prominences''' (or '''lateral nasal processes''', or '''nasolateral''', or '''nasal prominences'''<ref>{{EmbryologyUNC|hednk|032}}</ref> )

==Pathology==
Failure to fuse can cause a [[cleft lip]].
