Exam 3 Flashcards
Which pharyngeal arch does not form/rapidly disintegrates?
PA 5
What is a pharyngeal arch?
Paired transient structure located on ventral surface of embryo, core of mesenchyme, forms asynchronously
What are pharyngeal clefts/grooves?
Series of invaginations lined by ectoderm forming on ventral (external) surface of pharyngeal arches
What are pharyngeal pouches?
Invaginations that separate the pharyngeal arches on the dorsal (internal) surface
What are the components of a pharyngeal arch?
Aortic arch (artery), cartilaginous rod, muscular components, cranial n.
The first cleft and pouch are in what direction relative to Arch I?
Posterior
Which arch has no cleft/pouch associated with it?
Arch VI
What phenomenon creates the cervical sinus?
First and 2nd arch growing faster than 3rd and 4th arch which results in them being pushed towards midline and creating cervical sinus.
Maxillary and mandibular prominence are part of which arch?
Arch I
What does the first pouch form?
Eustachian tube, tympanic cavity
What does the second pouch form?
Palatine tonsil
What does the third pouch form?
Inferior parathyroid, thymus
What does the fourth-sixth pouch form?
Superior parathyroid, ultimobranchial body
Why do pharyngeal (cervical) cysts form?
Second arch failed to grow over arch 3 and 4, left remnant of cervical sinus.
What is an external branchial fistula?
If remnant of cervical sinus forms a channel to the exterior or pharynx.
[Internal if sinus is connected to the pharynx (due to rupture of membrane between 2nd cleft and 2nd pouch)]
What innervates pharyngeal arch I[mandibular arch]?
CN V - Trigeminal n. - maxillary and mandibular division
What innervates arch II? (Hyoid arch)
CN VII - Facial n.
What innervates arch III?
CN IX - Glossopharyngeal
What innervates arches IV-VI?
Vagus n. CN X, superior laryngeal, recurrent laryngeal
Where does meckel’s cartilage form from and what does it do?
Formed from arch I, supports first arch, malleus, incus.
Malleus, Incus, Meckel’s cartilage are from which arch?
I
Stapes, styloid process, stylohyoid ligament, lesser horn of hyoid bone are derived from what arch?
II
Greater horn of hyoid & body of hyoid bone are derived from what arch?
III
Thyroid cartilage is derived from what arch?
IV
