Study Notes
Pharyngeal Arches, Pouches, Grooves, and Membranes
- Pharyngeal arch 1 develops into the muscles of mastication, parts of the skull, and Meckel's cartilage.
- Pharyngeal arch 2 develops into the muscles of facial expression, parts of the skull, and Reichert's cartilage.
- Pharyngeal arch 3 develops into the stylopharyngeus muscle, common carotid arteries, and internal carotid arteries.
- Pharyngeal arch 4 develops into muscles of the soft palate, pharynx, and larynx, as well as the right subclavian artery and arch of aorta.
- Pharyngeal arch 6 develops into intrinsic muscles of the larynx, upper muscles of the esophagus, and pulmonary arteries.
- Pharyngeal pouch 1 develops into the epithelial lining of the auditory tube and middle ear cavity.
- Pharyngeal pouch 2 develops into the epithelial lining of the palatine tonsil crypts.
- Pharyngeal pouch 3 develops into the inferior parathyroid gland and thymus.
- Pharyngeal pouch 4 develops into the superior parathyroid gland and ultimobranchial body.
Tongue Development
- The anterior two-thirds of the tongue develops from the median tongue bud and two distal tongue buds.
- The distal tongue buds fuse in the midline, forming the median sulcus.
- The anterior two-thirds of the tongue contains different types of papillae, including filiform, fungiform, foliate, and circumvallate.
- General sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by the lingual branch of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
- Taste sensation from the anterior two-thirds of the tongue is carried by the chorda tympani branch of the facial nerve (CN VII).
Pharyngeal Fistula
- A pharyngeal fistula is a rare congenital defect that occurs when parts of the pharyngeal grooves fail to obliterate.
- It usually begins near the tonsils and travels through the neck, opening to the outside near the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
Pharyngeal Cyst
- A pharyngeal cyst occurs when parts of the pharyngeal grooves 2, 3, and 4 persist, forming a cyst.
- It is generally found near the angle of the mandible.
Ectopic Thymus, Parathyroid, or Thyroid Tissue
- Ectopic tissue occurs when these glands fail to migrate properly from their embryonic position to their adult location.
- Ectopic tissue can be found anywhere along their migratory path.
Thyroglossal Duct Cyst
- A thyroglossal duct cyst occurs when parts of the thyroglossal duct persist and form a cyst.
- It is most commonly located in the midline near the hyoid bone, but it may also be located at the base of the tongue, where it is called a lingual cyst.
Unilateral Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate
- This occurs due to the failure of the maxillary and medial nasal processes to fuse properly.
- It is characterized by an opening in the lip and/or palate.
DiGeorge Syndrome
- DiGeorge syndrome is caused by a microdeletion in chromosome 22q11.2.
- It results in the failure of pharyngeal pouches 3 and 4 to differentiate into the thymus and parathyroid glands.
- DiGeorge syndrome is often accompanied by facial anomalies, cardiovascular anomalies, immunodeficiency, and hypocalcemia.
Ankyloglossia
- Ankyloglossia, or "tongue-tie," occurs when the frenulum of the tongue extends to the tip of the tongue, preventing protrusion.
