State the components of the pharyngeal arches

  1. Mesnchymal core- paraxial and lateral plate mesoderm and neural crest cells. Striated muscle (mesoderm)
  2. External ectodermal lining
  3. internal endodermal linign
  4. arch specific cranial nerve ( from neural crest cells and neuroectoderm placodes )
  5. arotic arch artery

Importance of neural crest cells and development

we have skeletal and cartillagenous coimponents derived from these, they have to migrate from the neural folds to their location and there is potential for this to go wrong.

What is treacher collins syndrome and its characterisitcs

Lack of neural crest cells in the pharyngeal areas leading to a host of problems. Affected due to 1st pharyngeal arch where mandible is derived from



  1. Down slanting palperbal fissures
  2. lower eyelid colobomas
  3. microtia
  4. zygomatic and mandibular hypoplasia.
  5. malformed ear ossicles
  6. mostly affects first phayrngeal arch structures

how does treacher collins affect mandible

mandibular condyle severly effected, abnormal TMJ - Retrognathia




- results in a bird like appearance

What causes treacher collins

genetic condition affecting the TOCF1 gene, which encodes the treacle protien thats expressed in neural folds as neural crest cells. NCCs are forming and migrating




- mutations in TOCF1 associated with increased apoptosis of neural crest precursors and decreased proliferation of NCC's

What is digeorge anomaly


  1. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome
  2. mild facial malformations- smll mouth, philtrum, micrognathia
  3. total or partial agenesis of derivatives of 3rd and 4th pouches, thymys and parathyroid.
  4. cardiac abnormalties - persistis truncus aretriousis

cause of digeorge anomaly

deletion on chromosome 22 leads to imparied neural crest cell migration.

Where does the face develop from and when

develops from 5 prominences that appear in week 4, 2 maxillary, 2 mandibular and one frontonasal prominence. the prominences are dervied from neural crest cells and surround the stomodeum

what happens during week 5 of facial development


what do the prominences do


what is formed

  1. nasal pits form week 6, and the fronto nasal prominence.
  2. maxillary prominences grow medially and compress the medial nasal prominence which fuse in the midline to form the intermaxillary segment,
  3. upper lip formed by medial and maxillary nasal prominences and lower lip formed by mandibular prominences that fuse in the midline

medial nasal prominences fuse to form what


  1. intermaxillary segment composed of
  2. philtrum, maxilla with 4 incisors and primary palate

secondary palate is derived from what

maxillary prominences

Explain how the palate forms


  1. medial walls of maxillary promence extend to form palatine shelves
  2. palatine shelves directed towards either side of the tongue- vertical position
  3. they then elevate to horizontal position and fuse in midline with primary palate to form definitve palate.
  4. incisive formane marks midline boundary between primary and secondary palate.

Cleft lip and palate. different types


  • B- affectiing the lip and primary palate and posterior clefts
  • can be unilateral or bilateral
  • can involve both anterior and posterior defects

severity of celft lip palate

  • cleft lip with or without palate, 1 in 700 births, failure of medial nasal and maxillary prominences to fuse. can be complete or incomplete.

Complications of cleft lip palate

varies in severity, caused by failure of palatine shelves to fuse, complications include feeding and speech.

Causes of celft lip palate


  1. can be genetic - Van der woude syndrome IRF6 mutation. most common cause
  2. Environmental - teratogents (smoking anticonvulsants vit A)
  3. environmental mechanial - mandibular dysplasia preventing tongue to drop and palatine shelves to elevate assciated with treacher collins syndrome

Pierre robin sequence

often seen in treacher colins, micrognatihia results in posterio displacement of tongue (glossoptosis) and prevents lowering of tongue.

hypodontia causes

affects secondary dentition, failure of permanent tooth buds to form from the dental lamina

hyperdontia causes

hyperproliferation of dental lamina resulting in scond permanent tooth bud , less common and associated with other cranial malformations.

State what the Notochord, paraxial , intermediate and lateral plate mesoderm go on to form

  1. Notochord- Induces neuralation first step in the development in the CNS.
  2. Paraxial mesoderm forms somites- skeletal muscle , dermis and vertebraee
  3. intermediate mesoderm forms - genitourinary system
  4. lateral plate forms - splits into parietal and visceral layers, forming linings of body cavities, peritoneum and smooth muscle of the gut wall.

What are neural crest cells derived from

derived from neuroectoderm, as neural folds elevate and fuse cells at lateral edge sperate from the neural tube, neural crest cells. they migrate laterally and ventrally dispersing widely and differentiating into a variety of structures throghout the body sometimes referred to as the 4th germ layer.

when do pharyngeal arches appear and how to they look when viewed

appear in week 4, there are 5 arches, form in a craniocaudal cuccession, seperated by pharyngeal clefts and internal pharyngeal pouches . evolved from gill arches of fish therfore somtimes called branchial arches, give rise to many structures of the head and neck.

skeltal derivatives of 1st arch are

2 parts mandibular and maxillary, Direct ossification of mesenchyme- maxillae, zygomatic, squamous portion of temporal bone and mandible.




- from maxillary cartillage- alisphenoid and incus. from meckels cartillage- malleus.

musculature derivatives from 1st pharyngeal arch-




and whats its nerve and artery


  1. muscles of masticatin
  2. mylohyoid
  3. anterior belly of digastric
  4. tensor veli palatani
  5. tensor tympani
  6. innervated by maxillary and mandibular divisions of trigeminal nerve,
  7. artery - maxillary (1st aortic arch)

skeletal derivatives of second arch

  1. from reicherts cartillage - stapes, styloid process, lesser horns and upper rim of hyoid. Stylohyoid ligament.
  2. overlaps with some structures from 1st arch

musculature derivates of 2nd arch




innervation and artery



  1. muscles of masticaiton
  2. posterior belly of digastric
  3. stylohyoid
  4. stapedius

innervated by facial nerve


artery is stapedial artery (foetal)

what is persistent stapedial artery

occurs 1-2 in 10,000 usually asymptomatic, usually regresses as its foetal but if remains it can pulse next to eardrum causing noise.

  1. musculature is constrictors of the pharynx , cricothryoid, levator veli palatini, intrinsic muscles of the larynx.
  2. nerve - superior laryngeal branch of vagus (4th ) recurrent branch of the vagus (6th)
  3. arteries - 4th arch of aorta , left subcalvian.
  4. 6th artery suuply - ductus arteroisus and pulmonary arteries.

endoderma nd pharyngeal arches contribute to the mucous membrane and glands of the

tongue,


1st arch- anterior 2/3


2nd arch - part of copula


3rd arch - mucosa of most posterior 1/3 tongue


4th arch - small apart of psterior tongue and epiglottis

what is ankyloglossia-

failure of regression of attachement of ventral surface of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. leading to ankyloglossia

what else contributes to structures of the head and neck

4 pharyngeal clefts, 4 pharyngeal pouches in lateral wall of pharynx.

only which cleft contributes to defintive structures

only 1st pharyngeal cleft contributes to definitive structures.


1st cleft - external auditory meatus and part of tympanic membrane -------------------3 pharyngeal clefts are obliterated by expanding 2nd arch which fuses caudally with epicardial cartillage.

what are cervical (branchial) cysts

swelling present on lateral surface of the neck that are remnants of the 2nd , 3rd and 4th clefts.



derivatives of the pharyngeal pouches

1st pouch - tympanic cavity and auditory tube


2nd pouch - palatine tonsil


3rd- inferior parathyroid gland and thymus


4th - superior parathyroid gland and ultimobranchial body

thyroid gland first appears here

in week 4 as an endoderm proliferation in the foramen caecum

how does the thyroid gland migrate

it migrates into the neck along the thyroglossal duct, joined by the ultimobranchial body derived from the 4th pharyngeal pouch - c cells.




- foramen caecum persists in adult and thyroglossal duct degnerates.

what is a thryoglossal cyst


  • occur in the midline of the neck around the hyoid bone or thyroglossal duct.
  • aberrent thyroid tissue may also be located along the path of the thyroglossal duct
