The branchial apparatus is a keystone in the embryonic arrangement of the neck region. However the developing cervical region is also under the influence of the fundamental metamerism of the body--the formation of sonites-, which gives origin to the cervical spine, the prechordal space and the anterior cervical area. The developmental history of the cranial portion depends on the connection between these two distinct systems of segmentation.
