  2. Pharyngeal arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharyngeal_arch

    This arch divides into a maxillary process and a mandibular process, giving rise to structures including the bones of the lower two-thirds of the face and the jaw. The maxillary process becomes the maxilla (or upper jaw, although there are large differences among animals [11]), and palate while the mandibular process becomes the mandible or lower jaw.

  3. Meckel's cartilage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meckel's_cartilage

    Meckel's cartilage arises from the first pharyngeal arch. The dorsal end of each cartilage is connected with the ear-capsule and is ossified to form the malleus ; the ventral ends meet each other in the region of the mandibular symphysis , and are usually regarded as undergoing ossification to form that portion of the mandible which contains ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_and_neck_development...

    The second pharyngeal arch is innervated by the facial cranial nerve. Muscles that arise from the arch are those involved with facial expression and the posterior digastric muscle. Skeletal structures that originate here are the cervical sinus, Reichert cartilage (stape) the styloid process of the temporal bone, the lesser cornu and the hyoid ...

    The cranial neural crest arises in the anterior and populates the face and the pharyngeal arches giving rise to bones, cartilage, nerves and connective tissue. [2] The endocranium and facial bones of the skull are ultimately derived from crest cells. Other Migration Locations: Into the pharyngeal arches and play an inductive role in thymus ...

  8. Splanchnocranium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Splanchnocranium

    The splanchnocranium (or visceral skeleton) is the portion of the cranium that is derived from pharyngeal arches. Splanchno indicates to the gut because the face forms around the mouth, which is an end of the gut. [1] The splanchnocranium consists of cartilage and endochondral bone.
