Q

Describe the Pharyngeal arches

A

Initially there are 6 pharyngeal arches that from in a cranial to caudal sequence. However the 5th arch degenerates, leaving only 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6.

Note: 4 Bilateral arches are visible on surface of the embryo; 4th merges with 6th

Each arch is a proliferation of tissue located bilaterally in region of jaw or neck

Every arch has a cleft and a pouch; cleft and pouch are located opposite each other and a membrane lies between the two structures.

Ectodermal clefts of 2,3,4 become obliterated as the muscles of pro-pharynx proliferate and the 2nd arch overgrows the region of 3, and 4. This proliferative event is regulated by cell signaling

Between arch 3 and 4: It’s divided into dorsal and ventral portions. Forms epithelial reticular cells of thymus (ventral part); and the epithelial cells (Chief/Oxyphil) of inferior parathyroid (dorsal part)
* The thymus and inferior parathyroid migrate together to their final adult position– thymus to the mediastinum; inferior parathyroid at inferior pole on posterior surface of parathyroid gland

Between arch 4 and 6: It’s divided into dorsal and ventral portions: Forms Chief/oxyphil cells of superior parathyroid (dorsal Part)
