Study Notes
Pharyngeal Apparatus Overview
- Also known as the branchial apparatus, indicative of gill structures.
- Formation begins on embryonic day 22, crucial for modeling the face and cephalic end of the embryo.
- Essential for developing the pharyngeal segment of the digestive tract.
Components of the Pharyngeal Apparatus
- Comprises four key elements:
- Pharyngeal Arches
- Pharyngeal Grooves
- Pharyngeal Pouches
- Pharyngeal Membranes
Pharyngeal Arches
- First pharyngeal arch (mandibular arch) forms the basis for various components like muscles, skeleton, aortic arches, and nerves.
- Meckel's cartilage divides into maxillary and mandibular prominences.
- 1st pharyngeal pouch develops into the auditory tube and tympanic cavity; the groove forms the external auditory meatus.
Mandibular Arch Details
- Maxillary Process facilitates upper jaw formation, contributing bones include:
- Maxilla
- Zygomatic bone
- Squamous part of the temporal bone.
- Mandibular Process is associated with the lower jaw, contains:
- Meckel’s cartilage, Malleus, Incus, and the mandible.
Second Pharyngeal Arch (Hyoid Arch)
- Enlarges during the fifth week, covering the third and fourth arches, creating the cervical sinus.
- 2nd aortic arch gives rise to the hyoid and stapedial arteries.
- 2nd pharyngeal pouch contributes to the supratonsilar fossa, part of the palatine tonsils.
Third Pharyngeal Arch
- Contributes to the greater cornu and inferior body of the hyoid bone.
- Associated musculature includes stylopharyngeus, innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve.
- 3rd aortic arch forms the internal carotid artery, while its pouches give rise to the parathyroid glands and thymus.
Fourth and Sixth Pharyngeal Arches
- Cartilages form laryngeal structures, excluding the epiglottis.
- Muscles associated with the fourth arch (cricothyroid, levator palatini) are controlled by the vagus nerve.
- 4th aortic arch becomes the right subclavian artery and aorta.
- Ventral parts of the fourth pouch lead to superior parathyroids and ultimobranchial body.
Fifth Pharyngeal Arch
- Usually rudimentary with no definitive derivatives.
Pharyngeal Pouches
- Develop in a craniocaudal sequence between arches; four pairs are defined, the fifth is often absent.
- The first pouch forms the tympanic cavity linked to the pharynx via the auditory tube.
- The second pouch evolves mainly into the palatine tonsils.
Pharyngeal Groove/Cleft
- Visible during the fourth and fifth weeks, separating pharyngeal arches externally.
- Only the first groove becomes the external acoustic meatus; others typically resolve into the cervical sinus and disappear by week seven.
Pharyngeal Membranes
- Formed from the interaction of the epithelial linings of grooves and pouches.
- Only the first membrane contributes to adult structures, forming the tympanic membrane along with mesenchyme.
