Embryology Flashcards
Pharyngeal arch
N: V- maxillary and mandibular
Muscles: mastication (temporal, masseter, medial, lateral pterygoids); mylohyoid, anterior belly digastric, tensor palatine, tensor tympani
CAP
clefts- ectoderm
arches- mesoderm
pouches- endoderm
Pharyngeal pouch: 1
Tympanic (middle ear) cavity, auditory (eustachian) tube
Pharyngeal pouch: 2
Palatine tonsils, tonsillar fossa
Pharyngeal pouch: 3
Inferior parathyroid gland, thymus
Pharyngeal pouch: 4
Superior parathyroid gland ultimobranchial body (parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland)
Fate of 1st cleft
external auditory meatus
Fate of 2, 3, 4 cleft
obliterated by overgrowth of the 2nd arch and 4th arch toward each other forming a cervical sinus (if persists forms the branchial cyst or fistula)
Pharyngeal arch: 2 Hyoid
N: Facial
M: facial expression (buccinator, auricularis, frontalis, platysma, orbicularis oris and oculi), p. belly digastric, stylohyoid, stapedius
Pharyngeal arch: 3
N: glossopharyngeal
M: stylopharyngeus
Pharyngeal arch: 4
Superior laryngeal branch
M: cricothyroid, levator palatine, constrictors of pharynx
Pharyngeal arch: 6
Recurrent laryngeal branch
M: Intrinsic muscles of larynx
Midline cyst
Thyroglossus cyst
Lateral cyst
Brachial cyst
Truncus asteriosus
