Development of pharyngeal arches Flashcards
What are the layers of the pharyngeal arches
- Mesoderm core
- Ectoderm
- Endoderm
What does the mesenchyme core come from?
Mesoderm an neural crest
What forms the pharyngeal clefts?
Ectoderm
What forms the pharyngeal pouches?
Endoderm
What are somitomeres?
- Ill defined segments of paraxial mesoderm
* Rostral to the somites
Paraxial mesoderm migration
- Migrates into the pharyngeal arches
* Forms mostly muscle tissue in the head
What are ectodermal placodes?
thickening of ectoderm that help give rise to sensory neurones/ganglia
What musculature forms from the first arch?
- Muscles of mastication
- Anterior belly of digastric
- Tensor tympani
- Tensor veli palatini
What musculature forms from the second arch?
- Muscles of Facial expression
- Stylohyoid
- Stapedius
- Posterior belly of digastric
What muscles form from the third arch?
Stylopharyngeus
What muscles form from the fourth arch?
- All muscles of pharynx apart from stylopharyngeus
- All muscles of the palate except tensor veli palatini
- Cricothyroid
What muscles form from the sixth arch?
All muscles of the larynx
What do major blood vessels form from?
Paraxial mesoderm
What is the origin of the ganglia
Neural crest and/or ectodermal placodes
What do the motor elements of cranial nerves form from?
Originates from the CNS
