Lecture 7: Pharyngeal Arches Flashcards
What are the ectodermal contributions to the pharyngeal arches?
- Groove (cleft)
- Covering
What are the Mesoderm/Neural crest contributions to the pharyngeal arches?
Mesoderm = muscle and aortic arch
Neural crest = skeletal, cartilage, and CT
What are the endodermal contributions to the pharyngeal arches?
- Pouch
- Lining
What CN is the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th pharyngeal arches associated with?
1st = CN V
2nd = CN VII
3rd = CN IX
4th and 6th = CN X
What week do the pharyngeal arches begin developing?
Week 4!
What does the ectodermal cleft of the 1st pharyngeal arch give rise to?
- External auditory meatus
- External tympanic membrane
What does the ectodermal covering of the 1st pharyngeal arch give rise to?
- Epidermis of face
- Roof of stomodeum (mouth)
- Enamel organs
- Parotid gland
- Pituitary gland (anterior)
- Part of ear (arch 1 and 2)
What does the ectodermal covering of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 6th arhces give rise to?
2nd: epidermis of upper auricle and upper neck
3rd: epidermis of middle neck
4th: covering obliterates
6th: epidermis of lower neck
What is a lateral cervical (branchial) cyst caused by; where does it develop; seen by what age?
- 2nd arch usually grows down over arches 3 and 4, but sometimes space is not filled and lateral cervical sinus forms
- Remnants of part of the cervical sinus and/or 2nd pharyngeal groove
- Develop anywhere along anterior border of the SCM
- Often seen by age 5
What are the major cranial neural crest neurocistopathies?
- Aorticopulmonary septation defects of heart
- Anterior chamber defects of eye
- Cleft lip and/or cleft palate
- Frontonasal dysplasia
- DiGeorge Syndrome
- Certain dental anomalies
What structures develop from the neural crest cells of the 1st pharyngeal arch?
- Meckel’s cartilage (where mandible forms)
- Sphenomandibular ligaments
- Malleus
- Incus
What structures develop from the neural crest cells of the 2nd pharyngeal arch?
- Reichert cartilage
- Lesser cornu and upper body of hyoid bone
- Stylohyoid ligament
- Styloid proces
- Stapes
What structures develop from the neural crest cells of the 3rd pharyngeal arch?
Greater cornu and lower body of hyoid bone
What structures develop from the neural crest cells of the 4th and 6th pharyngeal arches?
Thyroid cartilage of larynx
Where do the extraocular muscles arise from embryologically; what innervates these muscles?
- Prechordal plate mesoderm
- Oculomotor (CN III)
Where do the muscles of the tongue (extrinsic/intrinsic lingual ms.) arise from embryologically; what are they innervated by?
- Occipital myotomes
- Hypoglossal (CN XII)
Which muscles arise from the mesodermal portion of the 1st pharyngeal arch; what CN innervates them?
- Muscles of Mastification
- Mylohyoid, Anterior belly of Digastric, Tensor Veli Palatini, and Tensor Tympani
- Mandibular division of Trigmeninal (CN V)
