The advantages of naming rather than numbering the arteries of the pharyngeal arches

A revised terminology for the pharyngeal arches and the arch arteries

Anthony Graham et al.

Summary: The pharyngeal arches, bulges on the head of vertebrate embryos, have been traditionally labelled as 1, 2, 3, 4, and 6, with no fifth arch. Recent studies have shown that this labelling is problematic and causes confusion in understanding pharyngeal arch development. To address this, a new terminology is proposed, labelling the arches as mandibular, hyoid, carotid, aortic, and pulmonary.

Morphogenesis of the Mammalian Aortic Arch Arteries

Robert H. Anderson et al.

Summary: This study describes the process of artery formation in humans and mice, as well as cardiovascular defects in the Tbx1 mutant mouse model, using state-of-the-art imaging techniques. The study shows that the interaction between pharyngeal arch tissues and their associated genes is crucial for normal arterial formation and remodeling.

A pictorial account of the human embryonic heart between 3.5 and 8 weeks of development

Jill P. J. M. Hikspoors et al.

Summary: This study provides detailed reconstructions of human cardiac development using 3D-reconstruction and remodeling software, describing the developmental appearance and subsequent remodeling of 70 different structures. The resource offers interactive 3D anatomical models and quantifies developmental milestones, contributing to the understanding of key structures in cardiac function.

Persistent fifth aortic arch: a single-center experience, case series

Yuanyuan Liu et al.

Summary: Persistent fifth aortic arch (PFAA) is an extremely rare congenital cardiovascular malformation with atypical clinical manifestations. Diagnosis of PFAA relies on echocardiography and CTA, with surgery potentially necessary for treatment.
