Study Notes
First Pharyngeal Arch
- Nerve: Cranial Nerve V (Trigeminal) - Responsible for chewing.
- Muscles: Muscles of mastication (temporalis, masseter, lateral and medial pterygoids, mylohyoid, anterior belly of digastric, tensor tympani), anterior two-thirds of tongue, tensor veli palatini.
- Cartilage: Maxillary process (maxilla, zygomatic bone), Mandibular process (mandible).
Second Pharyngeal Arch
- Nerve: Cranial Nerve VII (Facial) - Responsible for facial expressions.
- Muscles: Muscles of facial expression (stapedius, stylohyoid, platysma, posterior belly of digastric).
- Cartilage: Reichert's cartilage (stapes, styloid process, lesser horn of hyoid, stylohyoid ligament).
Third Pharyngeal Arch
- Nerve: Cranial Nerve IX (Glossopharyngeal) - Helps with swallowing.
- Muscles: Stylopharyngeus.
- Cartilage: Greater horn of hyoid.
Fourth and Sixth Pharyngeal Arches
- Nerve: Cranial Nerve X (Vagus) - Superior laryngeal branch and recurrent/inferior laryngeal branch.
- Muscles:
- Fourth Arch: Most pharyngeal constrictors, cricothyroid, levator veli palatini
- Sixth Arch: All intrinsic muscles of the larynx except cricothyroid.
- Cartilage: Arytenoids, cricoid, corniculate, cuneiform, thyroid - These cartilages are crucial for speech and singing.
