Pharyngeal Apparatus Flashcards
What does the pharyngeal apparatus consist of?
Pharyngeal arches, grooves, pouches and membranes
Are the pharyngeal arches, grooves, pouches and membranes bilateral?
duh
When do the pharyngeal arches start to develop?
Early in the 4th week
What cell type migrates to form the pharyngeal arches?
NCC
What tissue types are within each arch?
Mesoderm and mesenchyme = middle
Ectoderm = external portion
Endoderm = internal portion
What does the endoderm in the arches do?
Regulates development of the arches
Describe the locations of the arches, grooves, membranes and pouches in relation to eachother
The arches make up the circular prominence and in between each arch is where you will find the grooves, pouches and membranes
- The Pouches are internal
- The grooves are external at the same level
- The Membranes are in between a pouch and a groove
What forms the mesoderm in the pharyngeal arch?
Paraxial mesoderm
What forms the mesenchyme in the pharyngeal arch?
NCC
What will the mesoderm in the pharyngeal arch become?
Musculature
What will the mesenchyme in the pharyngeal arch become?
Cartilage and bony elements, smooth muscle and dermis
What will the lateral plate mesoderm create?
Endothelium
What will the prechordal plate mesoderm create?
Extraocular muscles
What are the 4 elements that each pharyngeal arch consists of?
Cartilagenous rods
Muscular components
Cranial nerves
Arteries
What do the cartilagenous rods of an arch create?
Form skeletal elements
What do the muscular components of an arch create?
Form head and neck musculature
What do the cranial nerves of an arch create?
Form sensory and motor components
Cartilage of PA1
Meckel’s cartilage
What does the dorsal, ventral and perichondrium portions of meckel’s cartilage create?
Dorsal - malleus and incus (ear bones)
Ventral - primordium of mandible
Perichondrium - anterior ligament of malleus and the sphenomandibular ligament
Where does the actual bony mandible form?
Lateral to the meckel’s cartilage and then the cartilage disintegrates
Cartilage of PA2
Riechert’s cartilage
What does the dorsal, ventral and perichondrium portions of Riechert’s cartilage create?
Dorsal - stapes and styloid process of temporal bone
Ventral - ossifies to form lesser horn of hyoid bone
Perichondrium - stylohyoid ligament
What does cartilage of PA3 create?
Greater horn of hyoid bone
What does cartilage of PA4 create?
Laryngeal cartilages and epiglottis (NCC derived)
What does cartilage of PA6 create?
Laryngeal cartilages
What forms the body of the hyoid bone?
Hypopharyngeal eminence
Where does most musculature originate from?
Paraxial mesoderm
What creates the extraocular muscles?
Prechordal plate mesoderm
What creates the tongue musculature?
Occipital myotomes
PA1 musculature
Muscles of mastication (temporalis, massater, medial and lateral pterygoids)
