Pharyngeal Arch Cartilages
Meckel's cartilage - located within the first pharyngeal arch mandibular prominence, forms a cartilage "template" besides which the mandible develops by the process of intramembranous ossification. It is important to note that this cartilage template does not ossify (endochondral ossification) but provides a transient structure where the mandible will form, and later degenerates. The ends of this "U" shaped cartilage form two of the middle ear ossicles (malleous and incus).
Reichert's cartilage - located within the second pharyngeal arch. The ends of this "U" shaped cartilage form the stapes of the middle ear ossicles.
