Study Notes
Pharyngeal Arch Development
- The 1st pharyngeal arch is responsible for the formation of the muscles of mastication.
- The 2nd pharyngeal pouch gives rise to the palatine tonsils.
- The 3rd pharyngeal arch contributes to the formation of the hyoid bone.
Pharyngeal Remnants and Defects
- Auricular pits and cysts are remnants of the 1st and 2nd pharyngeal clefts.
- Branchial (lateral cervical) sinuses, cysts, and fistulae are associated with the failure of the 2nd to 4th pharyngeal clefts to obliterate.
