EMB: Pharyngeal arches Flashcards
What do the pharyngeal arches contribute to?
Nasal cavities, mouth, larynx, pharyn + neck
(1-4 + 6)
What are pharyngeal arches made from?
NC
What is the 1st pair of arcehs?
Primordial jaws
What do arches 2-4 become?
future head + neck regions
What contributes NC cells to the pharyngeal arches?
Rhombomeres (R1-7)
What does each arch consist of?
core of mesenchyme (mostly) –> dervied from NC
covered extenally by ectoderm
internally by endoderm
When do the pharyngeal arches (NC migration) begin?
4th week
1st arch =
maxillary + mandibular prominences
How does the cervical sinus form in the 1st arch?
PA2 overgrows PA3/4
It should dissapear
What tissues does NCC form?
all connective tissue (bone) + dermis + smooth muscle
What forms muscles?
Paraxial myogenic mesoderm
What forms endotheliem?
Angioblasts
What does each pharyngeal arch get?
An artery (from truncus arteriosus)
A cartilaginous rod
A muscualr component (form head/neck muscles)
A nerve (sensory or motor)
What cartilage is in PA1? What does this form?
Meckel’s cartilage
Malleus + incus
What cartilage is in PA2? What does it form?
Riechert’s Cartilage
What does Richert’s cartilage form?
Dorsal = stapes + styloid process of temporal bone
Ventral = lesser horn of hyloid bone
What does the 3rd arch cartilage form?
Greater horn of hyoid bone
And hypopharyngeal eminence forms hyoid bone
What arches fuse together to make the larngeal cartilages?
arches 4 + 6
What are muscular components derived from?
Paraxial mesoderm + prechordal plate
What muscle does the firch arch form?
muscles of mastication (CN V)
What muscles do the second arch form?
stapedius + muscles of facial expression
(CN VII)
