Q

Development of pharyngeal region

A
  • Segmental
  • Each arch (body segment) has a neurovascular plan
    • Develops muscles and skeletal elements and associated with particular nerve

Q

Grooves and clefts

A

Simultaneously, a number of outpocketings appear on the lateral wall of the pharynx – the pharyngeal pouches. The pouches separate the arches on the internal (endodermal) surface whilst the clefts separate the arches on the external (ectodermal) surface.

Q

what happens to pharangeal clefts during development

A

Most clefts will obliterate (2ND PHARNGEAL ARCH grows down to cover THE other CLEFTS)

1st cleft is the only one to persist

Q

branchial cysts

A
  • Branchial cysts (fluid filled remnant of 1st pharyngeal cleft) or branchial fistulae (opening of fluid filled remnant into neck) can occur if there are remnants
  • Key landmark for looking for these abnormalities = SCM
    • E.g. anterior border= branchial cyst
