Development of the Head and Neck pt. 1 Flashcards
Manyt head and neck structures form from the mesoderm-mesenchyme found in and near five bilateral pairs of
Pharyngeal (branchial) Arches
These 5 pharyngeal arches appear during the
Fourth week of prenatal development
The five pharyngeal arches appear during the 4th week of prenatal development and are numbered
1, 2, 3, 4, and 6 (the 5th quickly disappears)
Precursor cells in pharyngeal arches and in regions rostral to pharyngeal arches are derived from
Mesoderm and Neural crest
Each pharyngeal arch is a bar of mesoderm-mesenchyme that is separated by
Folds of surface ectoderm (pharyngeal clefts/grooves) and folds of endoderm (pharyngeal pouches)
Contains its own specific nerve, artery, muscle, and connective tissure
Ech pharyngeal arch
Cranial nerves extend from the developing brainstem into
Pharyngeal arches
Conversely, pharyngeal arch mesoderm and neural crest gives rise to
Aortic arches, skeletal muscles, and connective tissues
Pharyngeal arch 1 is comprised of which two prominences?
Maxillary prominence and mandibular prominence
What is the cranial nerve that is associated with the 1st pharyngeal arch?
Trigeminal nerve
What is the aortic arch of the 1st pharyngeal arch?
I (maxillary)
From the mesoderm, the mandibular prominence of the 1st pharyngeal arch has which skeletal muscles?
Mastication muscles, tensors, anterior digastric, mylohyoid
The maxilla, zygomatic bone, squamous temporal bone, palatine, and volmer are the connective tissues (derived from neural crest) associated with the
Maxillary prominence of 1st pharyngeal arch
What is the nerual crest connective tissue associated with the mandibular prominance of the 1st pharyngeal arch?
Mandible, malleus, and incus
What is the cranial nerve of the second pharyngeal arch?
Facial nerve (VII)
What is the aortic arch of the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
II (stapedial)
What are the mesodermal skeletal muscles of the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
Facial expression muscles, stapedius, posterior digastric, and stylohyoid
The stapes, styloid process, lesser hgorn of hyoid bone, and upper body are neural crest connective tissues of the
2nd pharyngeal arch
What is the cranial nerve of the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
Glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
What is the aortic arch of the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
III (part of internal carotid)
What is the mesodermal skeletal muscle of the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
Stylopharyngeus
What are the neural crest derived connective tissues of the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
Greater hgorn of hyoid and lower body
What is the cranial nerve of the 4th pharyngeal arch?
X (Superior lingual of vagus)
What is the aortic arch of the 4th pharyngeal arch?
IV (parts of right subclavian and aortic arch)
The soft palate muscles (except tensor) and the pharyngeal muscles (except stylopharyngeus and cricothyroid) are the mesodermal skeletal muscles of the
4th pharyngeal arch
What is the neural crest derived connective tissue of the 4th pharyngeal arch?
Laryngeal cartilage
What is the cranial nerve of the 6th pharyngeal arch?
X (recurrent laryngeal nerve of vagus)
What is the aortic arch of the 6th pharyngeal arch?
VI (Ductus arteriosis and pulmonary)
