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.
