Adult Hearing Embryonic Origins

Many different embryonic components contribute to the sensory structures required for hearing.

External Ear

  • Auricle - Pharyngeal Arches 1 and 2 (ectoderm, mesoderm)
    • form from 6 hillocks (week 5) 3 on each of arch 1 and 2
  • External Auditory Meatus - Pharyngeal Arch 1 groove or cleft (ectoderm)
  • Tympanic Membrane - Pharyngeal Arch 1 membrane (ectoderm, mesoderm, endoderm)

Middle Ear

  • Middle Ear Ossicles
    • Malleus and incus - Pharyngeal Arch 1 cartilage Neural crest (ectoderm)
    • Stapes - Pharyngeal Arch 2 cartilage Neural crest (ectoderm)
  • Middle Ear Muscles
    • Tensor tympani - Pharyngeal Arch 1 (mesoderm)
    • Stapedius - Pharyngeal Arch 2 (mesoderm)
  • Middle ear cavity - Pharyngeal Arch 1 pouch (endoderm)

Inner Ear

  • Inner Ear Labyrinth
    • Cochlea - Otic vesicle - Otic placode (ectoderm)
    • Semicircular canals - Otic vesicle - Otic placode (ectoderm)
    • Saccule and utricle - Otic vesicle - Otic placode (ectoderm)
  • Cranial Nerve VIII
    • Auditory component - Otic vesicle and neural crest (ectoderm)
    • Vestibular component - Otic vesicle and neural crest (ectoderm)
