Lecture 10&17-Embryology Flashcards
True or false: each pharyngeal arch has a nerve, artery and cartilage associated with it
TRUE
What are pharyngeal arches?
Mesenchymal proliferations in the neck region of the embryo
How many pharyngeal arches do humans have?
5 (numbered 1 to 6 because the 5th one doesn’t exist in humans)
Which arch is the largest?
1st arch
Which cranial nerve is associated with the 1st pharyngeal arch?
CN V
Which cranial nerve is associated with the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
CN VII
Which cranial nerve is associated with the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
CN IX
Which cranial nerves are associated with the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches?
CN X
What are the muscular derivatives of 1st Ph arch?
Muscles of mastication
What are the muscular derivatives of 2nd Ph arch?
Muscles of facial expression
What are the muscular derivatives of 3rd Ph arch?
Stylopharyngeus
What are the muscular derivatives of 4th Ph arch?
Cricothyroid and pharynx constrictors
What are the muscular derivatives of 6th Ph arch?
Intrinsic muscles of the larynx
True or false: the cartilage bar associated with each Ph arch is derived from mesoderm
FALSE - neural crest
Which cartilage is associated with 1st Ph arch and what does it form?
- Meckel’s
- malleus and incus and template of mandible
Which cartilage is associated with 2nd Ph arch and what does it form?
- Reichert’s
- stapes and upper part of hyoid bone
What does the cartilage associated with 3rd Ph arch form?
Rest of hyoid bone
What does the cartilages associated with 4th and 6th Ph arches form?
Cartilage of larynx
The arteries associated with which two Ph arches disappears?
1st and 2nd arches
Which artery is associated with 3rd Ph arch?
Internal carotid
Which artery is associated with 4th Ph arch?
Arch of aorta on left side and brachiocephalic trunk on right side
Which artery is associated with 6th Ph arch?
Pulmonary arch
What is the difference between pharyngeal clefts and pouches?
Cleft on outside and pouch on inside
What are pharyngeal pouches lined with?
Endoderm
What does the 1st Ph pouch become?
Eustachian tube
Which Ph cleft remains and what does it become?
1st cleft develops into external auditory meatus
What happens to the other Ph clefts?
2nd cleft grows down and covers the others
Which two abnormalities can occur if the clefts aren’t obliterated and what are they?
- Branchial cyst=tissue fluid collects in neck region, around SCM
- Branchial fistula=fluid secreted onto surface of neck
