High-Yield Explanation
The neck is formed by the elongation of the region between the stomatodeum and the pericardium. This is achieved, paly, by a "descent" of the developing hea. However, this elongation is due mainly to the appearance of a series of mesodermal thickenings in the wall of the cranial-most pa of the foregut, i.e. future pharynx. These mesodermal thickenings are called the pharyngeal, or branchial, arches. Fouh arch - Larynx -Cricothyroid * Muscles of pharynx * Intrinsic muscles of soft palate except tensor palati.
