Pharyngeal Arches Flashcards
Pharyngeal Apparatus consists of…
Pharyngeal Arches
Pharyngeal Pouches
Pharyngeal Grooves/Clefts
Pharyngeal Membrane
How do pharyngeal arches begin to form?
o Begin to develop early in the fourth week as neural crest cells migrate into the head and neck region
Where do Neural crest cells come from and what direction do they travel?
NCC come from the developing neural plate
They migrate posterior/dorsal neural tube region to anterior ventral
Major events on day 24 due to rapid proliferating mesenchyme
Stomodaeum forms laying ectoderm throughout oral cavity (most oral cavity forms from this)
Stomodaeum and parynx are seperated by the buccopharyngeal membrane
Buccopharyngeal membrane ruptures to open the oropharynx
Each arch contains
Nerve, artery, cartilage, muscles
Arch I Artery
Terminal branch of maxillary artery
Arch I Skeletal
Derived from arch cartilages (from NCC):
Max cart –> Incus
Meckels cart –> Melleus
Derived by direct ossification from arch dermal mesenchyme
maxilla, zygomatic, squamos protion of temporal, mandible
Arch I Muscles
Muscles of mastication
Mylohyoid
Anterior belly of digastric
Tensor Tympani
Arch I Nerves
Trigeminal nerve V (5)
-Max and Mand division
Arch II Artery
Stapedial artery (embryonic)—> Corticotympanic artery (adult)
Arch II Skeletal
Stapes
Styloid process
Part of Hyoid
Arch II Muscle
Facial expression
Posterior belly of digastric
Stylohyoid
Stapedius
Arch II Nerve
Facial Nerve VII (7)
Arch III Artery
Common carotid artery
root of internal carotid
Arch III Skeletal
Part of Hyoid
