Abstract

Abstract

The development of the pharyngeal arches plays a fundamental role in the embryonic formation of the head and neck, due to the diversity of structures that originate from them. The objective of this literature review was to describe the development of the pharyngeal arches and their role in the formation of the major craniofacial structures. To address this topic, a structured search was conducted in Scopus, PubMed/MEDLINE, and SciELO using terms related to the pharyngeal arches, craniofacial development, the neural crest, the mandible, the hyoid bone, the tongue, the oral cavity, and the palate. The analyzed literature showed that cells from the ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm, and neural crest participate in a coordinated manner in the formation of bony, cartilaginous, muscular, vascular, and nervous components. Furthermore, a direct relationship was observed between the pharyngeal arches and the development of the mandible, tongue, face, and palate. Understanding these processes allows for a clearer interpretation of both normal craniofacial anatomy and the origin of various orofacial congenital anomalies.
