Q

What happens to the first pharyngeal cleft?

A

Very close association with first pouch, nearly meets in midline, future tympanic membrane separates the two

Forms the External accoustic meatus

Q

What happens to the remaining pharyngeal clefts?

A

Subsequent clefts disappear due to second arch descending and closing them off obliterating them

Q

What does the second pouch form?

A

Palatine tonsil

17
Q

What does the third pouch form?

A

Thymus and parathyroid III

18
Q

What does the fourth pouch form?

A

Parathyroid IV

19
Q

What happens if the second arch does not fully obliterate the clefts?

A

Keads to formation of branchial cysts, sinuses and fistulas

Branchial=pharyngeal

20
Q

How does a branchial cyst form?

A

Second arch descends and covers the cleft, but inner cleft not completely obliterated and not fully closed off

No communication with other structures, fluid-filled enclosed space

21
Q

How does a branchial sinus form?

A

Second arch does not properly cover the cleft

Cervical sinus remnant

Communicates with skin

22
Q

How does a branchial fistula form?

A

Second arch does not cover cleft at all

Cervical sinus remnant extends to the endoderm

Connection between skin and pharynx

23
Q

Why are branchial cysts, sinuses and fistulae nearly always anterior to SCM?

A

SCM grows up to the base of the skull

SCM sits behind the cervical sinus, and thus is posterior to the clefts
