just caudal to the tuberculum impar. The ventral ends of the second 

 arches fuse in the mid-ventral plane and form a prominence, the copula. 

 This connects the tuberculum impar with a rounded tubercle derived 

 from the third and fourth pairs of arches, the anlage of the epiglottis. Its 

 cephalic portion forms the root of the tongue (Fig. 156). Caudal to the

epiglottis are the arytenoid ridges, and a slit between them, the glottis, 

 leads into the trachea. 



The branchial arches converge caudad and the pharynx narrows 

 rapidly before it is differentiated into the trachea and esophagus (Figs. 

 104 and 105). Laterally and ventrally between the arches are the four 

 paired outpocketings of the pharyngeal pouches. The pouches have each 

 a dorsal and ventral diverticulum. The dorsal diverticula are large and 

 wing-like (Fig. 104); they meet the ectoderm of the gill clefts and fuse
