pharyngeal arch system |
| Synonyms |
embryonic pharyngeal complex pharyngeal system pharyngeal arches and clefts pharyngeal arch complex pharyngeal complex pharyngeal apparatus pharyngeal arch region |
| Definitions |
A transient embryonic complex that comprises the pharyngeal arches, bulges of tissues of mesoderm and neural crest derivation through which pass nerves and pharyngeal arch arteries. The arches are separated internally by pharyngeal pouches, evaginations of foregut endoderm, and externally by pharyngeal clefts, invaginations of surface ectoderm. The development of the system ends when the stucture it contributes to are forming, which may include (depending on species) the thymus, thyroid, parathyroids, maxilla, mandible, aortic arch, cardiac outflow tract, external and middle ear[GO,modified]. |
