Embroyology- The Pahryngeal Arches Flashcards
What are the pharyngeal arches?
A system of menechyme proliferations in the head and neck region
What are the numbers of the pharyngeal arches?
Numbered 1-6 but there is no number 5 in humans
What are the cranial nerves of the pharyngeal arches?
CNV, CVII, CNIX and CNX
From where is the facial skelton derivied?
The frontonasal prominence and the 1st pharyngeal arch
From where are the muscles of mastication derivied?
The 1st pharyngeal arch
From where are the muscles of facial expression dervived?
The second pharyngeal arch
What muscles are derived from the third pharyngeal arch?
The stlyopharyngeus
What muscles are derivied from the 4h pharyngeal arch?
The cricothryoid, the levator plantani and the constrictors of the pharynx
What is the cranial nerve of the 1st arch?
CNV the trigemnial nerve
With what pharyngeal arch is the facial nerve assoicated with?
The 2nd pharyngeal arch
What is the nerve of the third pahryngeal arch?
The glossopharyngeal nerve CNIX
With what pahryngeal arches is the vagus nerve associated?
The 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches
What are the branches of the vagus nerve that are associated with different pharyngeal arches?
The 4th arch branch is the superior laryngeal nerve
The 6th arch branch is the recurrent laryngeal nerve
What is the cartilage associated with the 1st pahryngeal arch?
Meckels cartilage
What cariltganous structures does the 1st pharyngeal arch help to create?
Divides into maxillary and mandibular prominences, mandibular prominence helps develop to the prominent meckels cartilage which helps to form the malleus and the incus by membranous ossification
