Embryology Flashcards
Which germ layer gives rise to the musculature of the face and neck?
Mesoderm
During which weeks do the pharyngeal arches develop?
Week 4-5
What does each pharyngeal arch consist of?
Core of mesenchyme assoc. with pharyngeal clefts + pouches
Neural crest cells
Cranial nerve
Artery
The pharyngeal clefts externally/internally separate the pharyngeal arches (form ectoderm/endoderm lining)
The pharyngeal clefts externally separate the pharyngeal pouches (form ectoderm lining)
The pharyngeal pouches externally/internally separate the pharyngeal arches (form ectoderm/endoderm lining)
The pharyngeal pouches internally separate the pharyngeal arches (form endoderm lining)
There are 5 pharyngeal arches. The 5th pharyngeal arch does not develop in humans. True/False?
True
Arch 1, 2, 3, 4 and 6 exist only
(that’s how fcked up embryology is)
Which cranial nerve is assoc. with pharyngeal arch 1?
CN V
Which cranial nerve is assoc. with pharyngeal arch 2?
CN VII
Which cranial nerve is assoc. with pharyngeal arch 3?
CN IX
Which cranial nerve is assoc. with pharyngeal arch 4?
CN X (superior laryngeal branch)
Which cranial nerve is assoc. with pharyngeal arch 6?
CN X (recurrent laryngeal branch)
What skeletal components are assoc. with pharyngeal arch 1?
Maxillary: maxilla, zygoma, temporal bone
Mandibulary: mandible, Meckel’s cartilage, incus, malleus
What skeletal components are assoc. with pharyngeal arch 2?

Styloid process of temporal bone
Stylohyoid ligament
Lesser horn + upper hyoid
What skeletal components are assoc. with pharyngeal arch 3?
