Pharyngeal arches Flashcards
pharyngeal clefts
- External invagination of ectoderm.
2. 4 clefts
pharyngeal arches
- Core of mesenchyme (neural crest and paraxial mesoderm). (leaves week 5)
- Neural crest will give rise to ct components; paraxial mesoderm gives rise to muscles.
- Each arch has its own nerve (cranial nerve) and blood supply (aortic arch artery).
- 6 pharyngeal arches initially develop; but the 5th regresses, leaving arches 1-4 and 6.
pharyngeal pouches
- Internal evagination of pharyngeal endoderm.
2. 4 pouches
skeletal derivatives of arch 1
viscerocranium (malleus, incus) and connective tissues of face
muscular derivatives of arch 1
a. Muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, medial and lateral pterygoids)
b. Also: anterior belly of digastric, mylohyoid, tensor tympani, tensor veli palatini
nerve of arch 1
trigeminal CN V(3)
oropharyngeal membrane
Oropharyngeal membrane develops between the two processes of first arch.
a. Composed of an outer layer of ectoderm and an inner layer of endoderm.
b. Ruptures by day 26 to allow communication between pharynx and oral cavity.
which arch is the largest
1 it forms entire face
skeletal derivatives arch 2
a. Stapes, styloid process of temporal bone
b. Stylohyoid ligament; lesser horn and superior portion of body of hyoid
muscular derivatives arch 2
a. Muscles of facial expression
b. Also: stylohyoid, posterior belly of digastric, stapedius
arch 2 nerve
facial nerve CN vII
arch 3 deriatives skeletal
- Skeletal derivatives: greater horn and inferior portion of body of hyoid bone.
arch 4 skeletal
with 6th arch, forms all laryngeal cartilages.
)
arch 5
regresses
arch 6 skeletal
with 4th arch, forms all laryngeal cartilages.

pouch 2 forms
stroma of palatine tonsil, tonsillar fossa
pouch 3
- Dorsal portion: inferior parathyroid glands
2. Ventral portion: thymus
pouch 4
- Dorsal portion: superior parathyroid glands
2. Ventral portion: ultimobranchial body (see development of thyroid gland below
