Preferred Label : pharyngeal arch system;
Uberon definition : A transient embryonic complex that comprises the pharyngeal arches, bulges of tissues
of mesoderm and neural crest derivation through which pass nerves and pharyngeal arch
arteries. The arches are separated internally by pharyngeal pouches, evaginations
of foregut endoderm, and externally by pharyngeal clefts, invaginations of surface
ectoderm. The development of the system ends when the stucture it contributes to are
forming, which may include (depending on species) the thymus, thyroid, parathyroids,
maxilla, mandible, aortic arch, cardiac outflow tract, external and middle ear[GO,modified].;
