Embryology Flashcards
What do the pharyngeal arches develop into?
much of the face and neck
When do the pharyngeal arches develop?
weeks 4 and 5
What are the pharyngeal arches in humans?
arches 1,2,3,4 and 6
In what sequence do the pharyngeal arches develop?
cranial-caudal
Why don’t you have all the arches present at one time?
as they develop in a cranial-caudal sequence, by the time 4 and 6 are developing, 1 will have regressed
What does each pharyngeal arch consist of?
core of mesenchyme; neural crest cels; cranial nerve component; artery
What does the core of mesenchyme develop into?
musculature of face and neck
What do the neural crest cells develop into?
skeletal components of the face
What are the arches separated externally by?
deep pharyngeal clefts
What are the arches separated internally by?
pharyngeal pouches
What is the lining of the pharyngeal cleft?
ectoderm
What is the lining of the pharyngeal pouches?
endoderm
What nerve is associated with the 1st arch?
maxillary and mandibular divisions of trigeminal
What nerve is associated with the 2nd arch?
facial nerve
What nerve is associated with the 3rd arch?
glossopharyngeal (9)
What nerve is associated with arches 4 and 6?
vagus
What branch of the vagus is associated with arch4?
superior laryngeal
What branch is associated with arch 6?
recurrent laryngeal
What are the 2 skeletal components of the 1st arch?
maxillary process and mandibular process
What develops from the maxiallry process of the 1st arch?
maxilla; zygomatic and part of temporal bone
What develops from the mandibular process of the 1st arch?
incus; malleus and mandible
What type of cartilage is found within the mandibular process?
Meckel’s cartilage- developing type of cartilage that the mandible develops alongside
What are the muscles formed from arch1?
muscles of mastication; anterior belly of digastric; mylohyoid; tensor tympani and tensor palatini
What does the mylohyoid form most of?
floor of mouth
What nerve supplies the msucles from arch 1?
V3
What are the skeletal components of the 2nd arch?
stapes; process of temporal bone and stylohyoid ligamnet; lesser horn and upper parto f body of hyoid
What are the muscles formed from arch 2?
muscles of facial expression; stapedius; stylohyoid; posterior belly of digastric and auricular muscles
What are the auricular muscles used for?
moving the ears- not really used in humans
What nerve supplies the muscles of arch 2?
facial nerve
What is the skeletal component of arch 3?
greater horn and lower part of body of hyoid
What muscle is formed from arch 3?
stylopharyngeus
What is the skeletal component of arches 4 and 6?
laryngeal cartilages eg thyroid and cricoid cartilages
What are the muscles of arch 4?
cricothyroid; levator palatini; pharyngeal constrictors
What nerve supplies the msucles of arch 4?
vagus- superior laryngeal; pharngeal plexus
What are the muscles formed by arch 6?
intrinsic laryngeal
What nerve supplesi the intrinsic laryngeal muscle?
recurrent laryngeal nerve
What does the 1st cleft develop into?
external auditory meatus
What do the 2nd-4th clefts devlop into?
lose contact with outside and form the cervical sinus which usually disappears
What develops from the 1st pouch?
middle ear; eustachian tube; tympanic membrane
What develops from the 2nd pouch?
palatine tonsil- will be invaded by lots of lymphoid tissue
What develops from the 3rd pouch?
inferior parathyroid gland; thymus
What develops from the 4th pouch?
superior parathyroid glands; ultimobranchial body (c cells of thyroid gland)
