hyoid arch is a triangular rounded elevation, the tuberculum impar, which later 

 forms a part of the tongue. At an earlier stage the median thyreoid anlage grows 

 out from the mid-ventral wall of the pharynx just caudal to the tuberculum 

 impar. The ventral ends of the second arch fuse in the mid-ventral line 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 (compare 

 Fig. 151 A and B). 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. 99 and 100). 

 Laterally and ventrally between the arches are the four paired outpocketings of
