Tree Number(s): A16.142
Unique ID: D001934
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D001934
Annotation: branchial arch syndrome: index under BRANCHIAL REGION (IM) + SYNDROME (NIM)
Scope Note: A region, of SOMITE development period, that contains a number of paired arches, each with a mesodermal core lined by ectoderm and endoderm on the two sides. In lower aquatic vertebrates, branchial arches develop into GILLS. In higher vertebrates, the arches forms outpouchings and develop into structures of the head and neck. Separating the arches are the branchial clefts or grooves.
