2. INTRODUCTION
After folding, the secondry yolk sac inside
the embryo gives rise to:Fore gut-Mid gut–hind gut.
The fore gut is divided into :
a. Cranial part : extends from oral
membrane to the laryngo-tracheal groove.
It gives rise to :
Part of mouth cavity
Salivary glands
Pharyngeal apparatus
Respiratory system
b. Caudal part : begins distal to the laryngotracheal groove.
It gives rise to: esophagus-stomach- part of duodenum-
liver-biliary system –pancreas.

3. THE PHARYNGEAL ARCHES
They are 6 curved cylindrical mesenchymal
thickening on each side of the primitive pharynx.
They develop in the head & neck similar in origin &
structure to gills of the fish.
Gill = Branchia
Each arch consists of :
1. Outer ectodermal covering
2. Inner endodermal lining
3. Mesodermal core
4. Each pharyngeal arch consists, at first of
mesenchyme derived from the lateral plate
mesoderm.
Soon, neural crest cells migrate into the
pharyngeal arches and surround the central
core of mesenchymal cells.
Migration of neural crest cells into the arches
produce discrete swelling demarcating each of
the pharyngeal arch.
NB. Mesenchyme =connective tissue of embryo
The mesenchyme derived from neural crest
cells is called (ectomesenchyme) to
differentiate it from mesenchyme derived
from mesoderm.
5. A typical pharyngeal arch
contains:
1- A cartilaginous rod that forms
the skeleton of the arch.
2- A muscular component that
differentiates into muscles in the
head and neck.
3- An aortic arch , an artery that
arises from the truncus arteriosus
of the primordial heart.
4- A nerve that supplies the
mucosa and muscles derived from
the arch.
6. NERVE SUPPLY OF THE PHARYNGEAL ARCHES
It is derived from the
hindbrain (pons and
Medola oblogata)
Each arch receives
mixed nerve.
Its motor branch
supplies muscles derived
from the arch.
Its sensory branch
supplies skin and
mucous membrane of
the arch.
7. DEVELOPMENT OF PHARYNGEAL ARCHES
•By the end of the 4th week, 4 well defined pairs of pharyngeal arches
are visible externally.
•The 5th and 6th arches are small and cannot be seen on the surface of
the embryo.
8. Most of the cartilages that form within the
pharyngeal arches develop from the neural crest of
the midbrain and hindbrain regions, although the
cartilages of arches 4 and 6 apparently develop from
lateral plate mesoderm.
The first pharyngeal arch is remodeled to form a
cranial maxillary process and a caudal mandibular
process.
Each process contains a central cartilaginous element
(the maxillary is known as palato-pterygo-quadrate
cartilage and the mandibular is known as Meckel's
cartilage) surrounded by a mesenchymatic tissue.

20. PHARYNGEAL POUCHES
The pharyngeal pouches are balloon-like diverticula that
formed on the endodermal side between the pharyngeal
arches
The pairs of pouches develop in a craniocaudal sequence
between the arches.
The first pair of pouches lies between the first and second
pharyngeal arches.
There are four well defined pairs of pharyngeal pouches
The fifth pair is absent or rudimentary
•
21. It gives rise to
tubotympanic recess
which forms:
1.Tympanic cavity
2.Auditory tube.
(pharyngotympanic
tube or Eustachian
tube)
First pouch
22. • Gives rise to palatine tonsils
• -Early in 3rd month, its lining
epithelium proliferates ➪
solid tonsillar buds which
grow into underlying
mesoderm.
• -Their central cells
degenerate➪ hollow tonsillar
crypts.
• -Crypts & surrounding
mesoderm ➪ palatine tonsils.
• -Lymphatic tissue infiltrates
its mesoderm during 3-5
Month
• -Tonsillar capsule formed by
condensed mesoderm.
• -Remnants of pouch ➪
intratonsillar cleft
Second pouch
23. Gives rise to:
-inferior parathyroid glands.
-thymus gland.
At 6th week, they lose connection to
pharyngeal wall.
-Thymus gland migrates caudally &
medially, pulling the parathyroid. The two
thymic rudiments descend into
thorax. Gland is large at time of birth, ➚
up to 2nd year, little ➚ until 7th year,
rapid growth to 11th year,
then ➘ to adult weight (12-15 gm)
-Inferior parathyroid glands descends
to lower pole of thyroid gland
Third pouch
24. It gives rise to:
1.Superior parathyroid glands.
It migrates with the thyroid gland.
2. Ultimo-branchial
body.
It incorporates into the thyroid
gland.
It gives parafollicular or C cells of
thyroid gland
Fourth pouch
25. PHARYNGEAL GROOVES
(CLEFTS):
In the 5th week: 4 clefts seen.
The first cleft gives:
external auditory meatus.
The epithelium of the bottom
forms outer layer of eardrum
NB. Active growth of 2nd arch
mesoderm overlaps 3rd & 4th
arches.
Temporarily, clefts ➪ectodermal
cavity, cervical sinus, which
disappears later.
29. 1. Branchial Cyst: Sinus persists as cyst along ant border
of sternomastoid muscle.
If ruptures ➪ branchial sinus
2. Branchial Sinus:
a) External: Cyst opens outside, usually anterior to
sternomastoid.
b) Internal: Cyst opens
into pharynx,usually
in the tonsillar region.
3. Cervical Fistula:
Sinus opens externally
& internally, connects
pharynx with outside.
Congenital anomalies
30. 4. 1st Arch Syndrome (Mandibulofacial dystosis)
Maldevelopment of components of 1st pharyngeal arch results
in various congenital malformations of eyes, ears, mandible
and palate. This is due to failures of Proper neural crest
migration into the 1st branchial arches.
5. DiGeorge Syndrome. Improper migration of neural crest
cells into the 3rd and 4th branchial arches.
It is characterized by:
1.Minor deformations of the lower face.
2.Thymic and parathyroid aplasia (i.e., no thymus and no
parathyroids). The absence of a thymus has a very deleterious effect on the
development of the immune system. The absence of parathyroids leads to
hypocalcemia.
3.Problems with aorticopulmonary septation.
Congenital anomalies
31. 6. Ectopic Thymic Tissue:
Thymus gland lies in the neck.
7. Ectopic Parathyroid:
Inferior parathyroid may present at bifurcation of
Common carotid artery.
