Arcos Faríngeos en Embriología

Each pharyngeal arch contains muscle, cartilage, arteries, and nerves.

Meckel's cartilage from the first pharyngeal arch forms the malleus and incus of the middle ear.

The maxillary prominence of the first pharyngeal arch develops into the premaxilla.

The mandibular process of the first pharyngeal arch forms the mandible.

The internal carotid artery is associated with the first pharyngeal arch.

The nerve related to the first pharyngeal arch innervates the muscles of mastication (chewing).

The ethmoid bone, a bone in the skull, is derived from the neural crest.

Meckel's cartilage does not directly form the mandible. It disappears, and the mandible is formed via intramembranous ossification.

The maxilla, the upper jaw bone, originates from the first pharyngeal arch.

Bones derived from the first two pairs of pharyngeal arches form the cartilaginous viscerocranium.

Meckel's cartilage mostly disappears, except for a part that persists as the sphenomandibular ligament.

The second pharyngeal arch contributes to the development of the incus, malleus, and stapes, three tiny bones in the middle ear.

The stylopharyngeus muscle, involved in swallowing, originates from the third pharyngeal arch.

The vagus nerve (cranial nerve X) innervates the laryngeal cartilages formed by the fusion of the fourth to sixth pharyngeal arches.

The first pharyngeal pouch develops into the tympanic cavity, which houses the middle ear, and the auditory tube, also called the Eustachian tube.

The cricothyroid muscle helps regulate the tension of the vocal cords during speech.

The laryngeal cartilages, which form the voice box, originate from the fourth to sixth pharyngeal arches.

The recurrent laryngeal nerve, a branch of the vagus nerve, innervates the intrinsic muscles of the larynx.
