Pharyngeal (Branchial) Arches, Pouches and Cysts Flashcards
branchial refers to
gills
pharyngeal arches form what week
4th
neural crest cells form most of what
skeletal and connective tissues of head and neck
how are pharyngeal arches numbered
cranial to caudal
how many pharyngeal arches are there
6 pairs i.e.
4 well defined pairs which are visible externally and the 5th and 6th pairs are rudimental
the pharyngeal arches are separated by what
endodermally lined pouches and ectodermally lined clefts (grooves)
each arch consists of
NAC i.e.
nerve
artery
cartilage
what prominences come from the 1st pharyngeal arch
maxilla and mandible bones
zygomatic bone
what cartilage comes from the 1st pharyngeal arch
Meckel’s cartilage
malleus and incus
anterior ligament of malleus
sphenomandibular ligament
what muscles come from the 1st pharyngeal arch
temporalis
masseter
pterygoids
mylohyoid
anterior belly of digastric
tensor veli palatini
tensor tympani
what nerve comes from the 1st pharyngeal arch
trigeminal nerve (CN V)
what do you get from the 1st pharyngeal pouch
eustachian tube
tympanic membrane
temporal bone
(tubotympanic recess)
1st pharyngeal groove develops into
external acoustic meatus
what happens to the remaining pharyngeal grooves
they disappear and form the cervical sinus
what does the 2nd pharyngeal arch overgrow
pharyngeal clefts
incomplete obliteration of the branchial clefts causes what
formation of an abnormal lateral cervical cyst or fistula
what cartilage do you get from the 2nd pharyngeal arch
Reichert’s cartilage i.e.
stapes
upper body and lower cornu of hyoid bone
the styloid process of the temporal bone
stylohyoid ligament
what muscles do you get from the 2nd pharyngeal arch
platysma
muscles of facial expression
stylohyoid
stapedius
posterior belly of digastric
what nerve do you get from the 2nd pharyngeal arch
facial nerve (CN VII)
what artery do you get from the 2nd pharyngeal arch
stapedial artery
what do you get from the 2nd pharyngeal pouch
lymphatic nodules called palatine tonsils
what does the cartilage from the 3rd pharyngeal arch form
lower body of the hyoid and greater cornu of the hyoid bone
