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.
