Fifth arch
The fifth arch, a transitory structure, disappears almost as soon as it forms.
No permanent structural elements.
Sixth pharyngeal arch
• The cartilage of the sixth arch probably forms the cricoid and
arytenoid cartilage .
• Parts of the sixth-arch arteries develop into the pulmonary arteries;
the remaining parts on the right side disappear, and those on the left
side form the temporary ductus arteriosus of the fetus. This later
becomes the ligamentum arteriosum.
