Can someone please explain to me: If the posterior 1/3 of the tongue is developed from 3rd and 4th pharyngeal arches, why is it wrong to choose pharyngeal arch?

drdoom That would be like choosing “blastula” if it were an option: it's not wrong but there's a more precise answer. +

pontiacfever That is wrong. They're indicating towards thyroglossal duct/thyroid which originates from Pharyngeal pouch not arch. secondly, they're asking that the mass originated from which structure. So, as we know it is associated to foramen cecum which is related to tongue. +

drdoom @pontiacfever, i believe you’re responding to @haozhier’s original comment, yes? +

Pharyngeal arch is not same as pharyngeal floor, pharyngeal arch is mesoderm from which nerve artery muscle cartilage develop. Pharyngeal floor is from where tongue develops which is endoderm

mutteringly However... 4th-6th pharyngeal arches do develop ACCCT (arytenoids, cricoid, corniculate, cuneiform, and THYROID). Thyroglossal duct cyst: a remnant of the thyroglossal duct that forms during the embryonic development of the thyroid gland. The thyroid gland originates from the foramen cecum at the base of the tongue and descends caudally into the neck, creating the thyroglossal duct. If the duct fails to obliterate, midline neck cysts or ectopic thyroid tissue can develop anywhere along the path of the thyroglossal duct. +
