Study Notes

Pharyngeal Arches

  • The first pharyngeal arch is known as the mandibular arch.
  • The first pharyngeal arch develops into the mandible, muscles of mastication, and part of the tongue.
  • The second pharyngeal arch is known as the hyoid arch.
  • The second pharyngeal arch develops into the stapes, styloid process, stylohyoid ligament, and part of the hyoid bone.
  • The third pharyngeal arch develops into the greater horn and inferior part of the body of the hyoid bone.
  • The fourth pharyngeal arch develops into cartilages of the larynx.
  • The fifth pharyngeal arch is transitory and disappears.
  • The sixth pharyngeal arch develops into cartilages of the larynx.
  • The fourth and sixth pharyngeal arches are related because they contribute to the formation of the larynx.
  • Each pharyngeal arch is separated from the outside by the pharyngeal clefts and from the inside by the pharyngeal pouches.
  • The inner lining of each pharyngeal arch is composed of endoderm.
