Study Notes
Pharyngeal Apparatus Development
- Pharyngeal apparatus development is complex, often involving multiple problems
- Fish use pharyngeal apparatus for extracting oxygen from water, humans retain this structure
- Pharyngeal arches develop during the fourth week and give rise to facial and neck structures
- Four to six pharyngeal arches are present, numbered 1-6 (5 in humans)
- Arches are supported by paraxial mesoderm and neural crest cells
- The arches are separated by grooves and clefts
- The arches derive from pouches (endoderm) and grooves (ectoderm)
- Arch arteries connect the aortic sac to the dorsal aortae, and will develop into blood vessels
- The mesenchymal core of the arches gives rise to tissues in the head and neck region
- Dermis (head and neck)
- Smooth muscle (neck)
- Skeletal elements (head)
- Striated muscle (facial expression and mastication)
- External ectoderm lining the arches
- Internal endoderm lining the pouches
Pharyngeal Arches
- Arches are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 (5 in humans)
- Arches are formed from paraxial mesoderm and neural crest cells
- Arcs contribute to the development of the face and neck
- Meckel's cartilage forms from the 1st arch and contributes to middle ear bones (malleus and incus)
- Reichert cartilage forms from the 2nd arch and contributes to stapes, stylohyoid ligament, and part of the hyoid bone
- The 3rd arch gives rise to the remaining hyoid bone
- The 4th and 6th arches do not form cartilages but instead develop into cartilages of the larynx
- Defects in development can lead to cleft palate and/or cleft lip.
Muscles from Pharyngeal Arches
- Muscles in the head and neck region develop from the pharyngeal arches
- The 1st arch contributes to masticatory muscles (temporalis, masseter, etc.) and parts of the digastricus, mylohyoid and tensor veli palatini muscles
- The 2nd arch forms muscles of facial expression and parts of the digastric, stylohyoid, and stapedius muscles
- Muscles of the 3rd arch form the stylopharyngeus muscle
- Muscles of the 4th and 6th arches form laryngeal muscles.
- Each arch muscle has specific nerve supply
Pharyngeal Pouches
- Pouches are endodermal invaginations
- Pouch 1 forms the tubotympanic recess (eustachian tube) and tympanic membrane
- Pouch 2 contributes to palatine tonsils (part of the Waldeyer's ring)
- Pouch 3 forms the thymus and inferior parathyroid glands
- Pouch 4 forms the superior parathyroid glands and parafollicular cells
- Pouch development is critical for the formation of the immune system
Pharyngeal Grooves/Clefts
- Grooves are ectodermal invaginations
- Groove 1 forms the external acoustic meatus
- Groove 1's membrane contributes the tympanic membrane
- The second and successive pharyngeal arches overlap, and their membranes disappear.
Development of the Face
- The face forms from five prominences: central frontonasal, 2 maxillary, and 2 mandibular.
- The nasal placodes form on the frontonasal prominence
- The medial nasal process forms the upper lip and intermaxillary segment
- The maxillary processes form the lateral upper lip
- The two medial nasal processes fuse to form the primary palate
Development of the Palate
- The palate is divided into primary and secondary palates
- Primary palate forms the anterior hard palate
- Secondary palate forms the posterior hard and soft palate
- The palatine shelves fuse to create a complete palate.
Clefts
- Clefts can occur if these processes don't fuse properly
- Cleft palate refers to defects in the palate
- Cleft lip refers to defects in the upper lip
- These deformities can be bilateral or unilateral
Development of the Thyroid Gland
- The thyroid forms as an outgrowth of the pharyngeal floor (endoderm)
- The thyroglossal duct connects the developing thyroid to the tongue
- The duct normally disappears
- Remnants of the duct can form cysts or ectopic thyroid tissue
- The thyroid gland secretes hormones responsible for metabolism
Development of Other Structures
- Certain abnormalities in the development of the pharyngeal apparatus could result in abnormal positions of the parathyroid, thymus or thyroid glands
- Structures are formed at specific times in development and from specific germ layers.
