The nerve of the second branchial arch is

Each pharyngeal arch is characterized by its own muscular components. The muscular components of each arch have their own cranial nerve, and wherever the muscle cells migrate, they carry their nerve commponent with them. The neurons of 5th, 77th, 9th and 10th cranial sensory ganglia that supply the pharyngeal arch structures are derived from the ectodermal placodes (epipharyngeal placodes) and from the neural crest cells.
