Since no human structures result from the fifth arch, the arches in humans are I, II, III, IV, and VI. The first three contribute to structures above the larynx, while the last two contribute to the larynx and tracheaPharyngealArchMuscularContributionsSkeletal ContributionsNerveArteryCorresponding Pouch Structures1st(mandibulararch)Muscles of mastication, Anterior belly of the digastric, Mylohyoid, Tensor tympani, Tensor veli palatiniMaxilla, mandible (only as a model for mandible not actual formation of mandible), Incus and Malleus, Meckel\'s cartilage, Ant. ligament of malleus, Sphenomandibular ligamentTrigeminal nerve (V2 and V3)Maxillary artery, external carotid arteryEustachian tube, middle ear, mastoid antrum, and inner layer of the tympanic membrane.2nd (hyoid arch)Muscles of facial expression.
