Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The cartilages and muscles of the larynx develop from the fourth and sixth pharyngeal arches. The endoderm of the respiratory diverticulum gives rise to the lining of the respiratory tract, while the tracheal and bronchial buds develop into the trachea and bronchi, respectively. The mesoderm surrounding the respiratory diverticulum contributes to the development of the cartilage, muscles, and connective tissue of the respiratory system.
