Embryology Flashcards
Aortic arch 1 contributes to
maxillary a.
“First is Max”
Aortic arch 2 forms part of
the hyoid and stapedial a.
“Second is Stapedial”
Aortic arch 3 forms the
common carotid a. and proximal portion of the internal carotid a. (C is the 3rd letter)
Aortic arch 4 forms the
Right proximal subclavian a. and part of the aortic arch
“fouRS”
Aortic arch 5
degenerates during early development
Aortic arch 6
Pulmonary arteries and ductus arteriosis
How many pairs of pharyngeal arches are there?
5 (1, 2, 3, 4, 6). 4 and 6 are kind of fused
The pharyngeal arches are seperated by?
Pharyngeal grooves
What are the outter, middle, and inner layers of the pharngeal arches composed of?
outter - ectoderm
middle - mesenchyme
inside - endoderm
What does the neurocest cells of pharyngeal arch 1 become?
The maxillary prominence -> maxillary bone, zygomatic, & squamous portions of temporal bone
Mandibular prominence -> mandible, malleus, incus
Think Trigem structures
Innervation of pharyngeal arch 1 is?
Trigeminal (V)
Innervation of pharyngeal arch 2 is?
Facial (VII)
Innervation of pharyngeal arch 3 is?
Glossopharyngeal (IX)
Innervation of pharyngeal arch 4-6 is?
Vagus (X)
What does the neurocest cells of pharyngeal arch 2 gives rise to?
Lesser cornu of hyoid, stylohyoid ligament, stylohyoid process, stapes
Think Facial n.
What does the neurocest cells of pharyngeal arch 3 gives rise to?
Greater cornu of hyoid
3 is the smallest, think glossopharyngeal n.
What does the neurocest cells of paryngeal arch 4 gives rise to?
Laryngeal cartilages
Think Vagus
What does the mesoderm of pharyngeal arch 1 give rise to?
Muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, mylohyoid, ant belly of digastric, tensor tympani)
What does the mesoderm of pharyngeal arch 2 give rise to?
Muscles of facial expression
Stylohyoid, pos digastric
