Study Notes

Pharyngeal Arches

  • Pharyngeal arches develop into the face, neck, and other structures.
  • Sensory and motor nerves grow into arches; they are derived from neural crest and neuroectoderm.
  • Arches 3 and 4 form the posterior 1/3 of the tongue.
  • Arch 5 does not contribute significantly to development.

Cleft (Ectoderm)

  • Persistent cervical sinus: a lateral neck mass anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscles; it does not move with swallowing.
  • Thyroglossal duct cyst: moves with swallowing.
  • Cleft Cysts: Persistent cervical sinus, a lateral neck mass anterior to the sternocleidomastoid muscles, that does not move with swallowing.

Pouch (Endoderm)

  • 1st Pharyngeal Pouch: Forms middle ear cavity, eustachian tube, and mastoid air cells.
  • 2nd Pharyngeal Pouch: Forms the epithelial lining of the palatine tonsil.
  • 3rd Pharyngeal Pouch: Forms the inferior parathyroid and thymus.
  • 4th Pharyngeal Pouch: Forms superior parathyroid and ultimopharyngeal body, which forms parafollicular cells of the thyroid.

1st Pharyngeal Arch

  • Nerves: Trigeminal (5th cranial nerve)
  • Muscles: Mastication, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor tympani, anterior 2/3 of tongue, tensor veli palatini
  • Cartilage: maxillary process, mandibular process
  • Derivatives: Muscles for mastication, anterior belly of digastric muscle, tensor tympani, anterior 2/3 of tongue, tensor veli palatini, muscles.

2nd Pharyngeal Arch

  • Nerves: Facial (7th cranial nerve)
  • Muscles: Facial expression, stapedius, stylohyoid, platysma.
  • Cartilage: Stapes, styloid, lesser horn of hyoid, stylohyoid ligament.
  • Derivatives: Muscles for facial expression, stapedius, stylohyoid muscle, and platysma muscle.

3rd Pharyngeal Arch

  • Nerves: Glossopharyngeal (9th cranial nerve)
  • Cartilage: Greater horn of hyoid.
  • Derivatives: muscles of the tongue, stylopharyngeus muscle.

4th/9th Pharyngeal Arch

  • Nerves: Vagus (10th cranial nerve).
    • 4th arch: superior laryngeal branch
    • 6th arch: inferior laryngeal branch
    • recurrent laryngeal branch
  • Cartilage: Arytenoid, cricoid, corniculate, cuneiform, thyroid.

DiGeorge Syndrome

  • 22q11.2 Deletion
  • Characteristic features include: Hypoparathyroidism (hypocalcemia), congenital heart disease, malformed ears, paracortex aplasia, thymic aplasia, cleft palate, and seizures.

Pierre Robin Sequence

  • Micrognathia, glossoptosis, cleft palate, airway obstruction
  • Autosomal dominant neural crest dysfunction leading to craniofacial abnormalities including zygomatic bone hypoplasia, mandibular bone hypoplasia, hearing loss, and airway compromise.
  • Treacher Collins Syndrome: Autosomal dominant neural crest dysfunction leading to craniofacial abnormalities.
