Pharyngeal arches (bars of mesenchymal tissue)
4th week of development
a typical pharyngeal arch consists of the following:
- an aortic arch: an a.a. arising from the truncus arteriosus (of primordial heart)
- a cartilaginous rod- skeleton of the arch
- muscular component- muscles of head and neck
- a nerve- supplies mucosa and muscles derived from arch
center of the face is formed by the
stomodeum
first pharyngeal arch
maxillary and mandibular prominances
Bones- malleus,incus,mandible,maxilla,zygomatic, part of the temporal bone
muscles: muscles of mastication, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor tympani
ligaments: anterior ligament of malleus, sphenomandibular ligament
nerve: mandibular division of trigeminal nerve
second pharyngeal arch
bones: stapes, styloid process, lesser horn and upper portion of body of hyoid
muscles: muscles of fascial expression, posterior digastric, stylohyoid, stapedius
nerve- facial nerve
third pharyngeal arch
bones: greater horn and lower portion of body of hyoid
cartilage; the epiglottis is derived from third and fourth pharyngeal arches
muscles: stylopharyngeus
nerve: glossopharyngeal nerve
fourth and sixth pharyngeal arch
nothing is derived from the fifth arch
cartilage: thyroid, cricoid, laryngeal
muscles: cricothyroid, levator veli palatini, pharyngeal constrictors, intrinsic muscles of the larynx, striated muscles of esophagus
nerve: superior laryngeal nerve; recurrent laryngeal nerve
1st pharyngeal pouch
forms tubotympanic recess
forms external auditory meatus
gives rise to the tympanic cavity and auditory tube
2nd pharyngeal pouch
gives rise to the palatine tonsil
