Meninges caudal to the prosencephalon (forebrain)
Mesenchyme for formation of the head region is derived from what 4 things?
neural crest cells
ectodermal placddes
paraxial mesoderm
lateral plate mesoderm
Lateral plate mesoderm forms what?
Laryngeal cartilages and CT in this region
Neural crest cells form what million things?
entire viscerocranium, part of neurocranium, bone, cartilage, tendons, dermis, pia mater, arachnoid mater, sensory neurons, glandular CT, dentin
Ectodermal placodes form what?
neurons of the 5th, 7th, 9th, 10th cranial sensory ganglia
When do the pharyngeal arches appear?
In the 4th and 5th weeks of development
Pharyngeal arches begin to develop as _____________ and migrate from ___________
neural crest cells
hindbrain
The pharyngeal arches support the lateral walls of the _________
primordial pharynx
which arch completely regresses and forms nothing?
5th
The pharyngeal arches have what 4 components?
