Arch 1 gives rise to what ligament?

Stylohyoid Ligament
Sphenomandibular Ligament
Stylomandibular Ligament
Palatine Ligament

The correct answer is: Sphenomandibular Ligament

Arch 1, also known as the mandibular arch, gives rise to the sphenomandibular ligament. This ligament connects the sphenoid bone to the lingula of the mandible, providing support for the jaw. Option A, the stylohyoid ligament, is formed from the styloid process of the temporal bone and supports the hyoid bone. Option C, the stylomandibular ligament, is formed from the styloid process and connects to the angle of the mandible, providing support for the jaw. Option D, the palatine ligament, forms the palatine aponeurosis and has no direct relation to Arch 1. Overall, only option B directly relates to Arch 1 and its structures.
