  • Muscles of facial expression
  • posterior belly of digastric
  • stylohyoid
  • stapedius
  • auricular muscles (move ears)
30
Q

what are the skeletal elements of the 3rd pharyngeal arch

A

greater horn pf hyoid bone

lower part of hyoid bone

31
Q

what are the muscle and nerve elements of the 3rd pharyngeal arch

A

stylopharyngeus
longitudinal pharyngeal muscle

supplied by the glossopharyngeal nerve

32
Q

what are the skeletal elements of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arch

A

laryngeal cartilages

33
Q

what are the muscle elements of the 4th pharyngeal arch

A
  • cricothyroid
  • levator veli palatini
  • pharyngeal constrictors
34
Q

what are the muscle elements of the 6th pharyngeal arch

A

intrinsic laryngeal muscles (moves vocal chords)

35
Q

what are the nerve elements of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arch

A

both supplied by vagus nerve

arch 4- superior laryngeal nerve, pharyngeal plexus

arch 6- recurrent laryngeal nerve

36
Q

what does the 1st pharyngeal cleft form

A

external acoustic meatus

37
Q

what do the 2-4th pharyngeal clefts form

A

lose contact with outside and form the cervical sinus

38
Q

what can happen if pharyngeal cleft 2 doesnt form properly

A

creates branchial sinus- bacteria can get in

can get internal fistulas

39
Q

what does the 1st pharyngeal pouch form

A

middle ear, tympanic membrane, eustachian tube

40
Q

what does the 2nd pharyngeal pouch

A

palatine tonsil

41
Q

what does the third pharyngeal pouch form

A

inferior parathryoid gland

thymus

42
Q

what does the fourth pharyngeal pouch form

A
superior parathyroid gland 
ultimobranchial body (thyroid gland/ C-cells)
43
Q

what is the path of the thymus

A

Thymus lies on anterior mediastinum mostly then moves outwards.
As embryo starts to develop it will track its way down the way to thorax, unite with contralateral side and form thymus gland. Drags ifnferior parathyroid gland with it and develops over superior parathyroid gland which is derived from 4th pouch.
Thyroid gland descending down
Thymus drags down and drags parathyroid gland and lodges self in back of thyroid

44
Q

what are the parts of the inner ear and what do they do

A

balance (semicircular canals)

hearing (organ of corti)

45
Q

what makes up the middle ear

A

ectoderm

48

49
Q

what do the otic vesicles make

the inner ear

50

A

utricular portion

51
Q

what gives rise to the cochlear

A

saccular portion

52
Q

what is endolymph and perilymph

A

endo fluid inside the membranous labyrinth of the ear

peri fluid inbetween the membranous labyrinth of the ears

53
Q

how do the semicircular canals form

A

at week 6 utricular portion starts to flatten itself out. Central area moves in. starts to create rings.

within the ampulla of the semicircular canals
contains:
sensory cells for balance
vestibular fibres CN VIII

57

how does the cochlear duct develop

A

grows in spiral at weeks 6-8

surrounding mesenchyme becomes cartilagenous

organ of corti

60

what forms the oval window

A

neural crest cells

61

what forms the external auditory meatus

A

dorsal part of first pharyngeal cleft

62

how is the external ear developed

A

Month 3 – epithelial cells proliferate to form Meatal Plug

Plug dissolves in month 7 and contributes to eardrum

6 mesenchymal proliferations (3 from arch 1, 3 from arch 2)
surround 1st pharyngeal cleft
