List the components of pharyngeal arches
- Aortic Arch
- Cartilaginous rod
- Muscular component
- Nerve
- Nueral Crest
What is the aortic arch in terms of it being a component of pharyngeal arches?
- An artery that arises from the truncus arteriosus of the primordial heart
- Aortic Arches arise from mesoderm, bridge between the truncus arteriosus and the dorsal aorta
What purpose does the cartilaginous rod serve?
- forms the skeleton of the arch
- Definite Structures are formed from these
What does the muscular component of pharyngeal arches do?
-Differentiates into muscles of the head and neck
What does the nerve in the pharyngeal arches do?
Supplies the mucosa and muscles derived from the arch
By the 3rd week the arches are primarily __________, but by the 4th week, primarily ___________ has migrated into the arches.
- Mesenchyme
2. Neural Crest
What happens to the aortic arches of pharyngeal arches 1 and 2?
- They largely disappear
- There are some remains:
- Maxillary, ext. Carotic (1)
- Stapedial (2)
What happens to aortic arches 3, 4, and 6?
- They are remodeled to form portions of some large arteries
- Common and Int. Carotid (3)
- Aortic, Subclavian (4)
- Pulmonary (6)
