Development of the Pharyngeal Arches Flashcards
What makes up the pharyngeal apparatus?
pharyngeal arches
pouches
grooves (clefts)
membranes
When do the pharyngeal arches develop?
What are they made of?
early in 4th week
NCCs migrating into the future head and neck
which areches are visible on the embryo surface and where are they?
2-4 appear as ridges on each side of the future head and neck
5 and 6 not visible on surface
Where do the NCCs that make up the arches come from?
rhombomeres from hindbrain
What rhombomeres contribute to each PA?
R1-2 –> PA1
R4 –> PA2
R6-7 –> PA3/4
(R3 and 5 produce few NCC)
What types of tissue make up each pharyngeal arch?
core of mesenchyme = NC
ectoderm on outside
endoderm on inside
What does the first arch separate into?
maxillary and mandibular prominences
When and how does the cervical sinus form and disappear?
5th week: PA2 overgrows 3 and 4 –> cervical sinus = ectodermal depression –> end of 7th week, disappears
What does the NC in the arches form?
all connective tissue
bone
dermis
smooth muscle
What type of mesoderm contributes to the arches and what does it form?
paraxial
muscle primordium (skeletal)
What from the arches forms endothelium?
lateral plate angioblasts
What does pharyngeal endoderm do?
plays role in regulated arch development
forms glands, ear
What does the artery in an arch arise from?
truncus arteriosus –> passes around primordial pharynx to enter dorsal aorta
What are the 4 main structures within a pharyngeal arch?
artery from truncus arteriosus
cartilagious rod (will make skeleton)
muscle from paraxial meso
nerve from ecto
what are the nerves in arches derived from and what do they supply?
derived from developing brain
supply mucosa and muscles derived from each arch
What nerve is associated with PA1?
trigeminal N = V
What nerve is associated with PA2?
CN 7 = Facial N
What nerve is associated with PA3?
Glossopharyngeal N = 9
What nerve is associated with PA4?
Superior laryngeal branch of Vagus n (10)
What nerve is associated with PA6?
Recurrent laryngeal branch of vagus n (10)
What muscles and ligaments originate from PA1?
ms of mastication
mylohyoid, ant belly of digastric, *tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini
Anterior L of malleus
Spheno-andibular L
What muscles and ligaments originate from PA2?
Muscles of facial expression
posterior belly of the digastric, stylohyoid, stapedius
stylohyoid L
What muscle originiate from PA3?
Stylopharyngeus
What muscles originiate from PA4?
Constrictors of pharynx
cricothyroid
lavator veli palatini
What muscles originiate from PA6?
Intrinisc ms of larynx *except cricothyroid*
What is Meckel’s cartilage?
cartilage of PA1
dorsal nodules –> form malleus and incus
perichondrium –> ant L of malleus and sphenomandibular L
ventral parts –> mandible
what is Riechert’s cartilage and what does it form?
cartilage of PA2
Reichert’s + dorsal anlage –> stapes and styloid process of temporal bone
also forms stylohyoid L
ventral end –> lesser horn of hyoid bone
