Which ligament came from pharyngeal arch 2?

  1. Stylohyoid Ligament

  2. Sphenomandibular Ligament

  3. Palatine Ligament

  4. Stylomandibular Ligament

The correct answer is: Stylohyoid Ligament

The Stylohyoid Ligament gets its name from the styloid process and is part of the posterior triangle of the neck. The Sphenomandibular Ligament is found between the sphenoid bone and the ramus of the mandible. The Palatine Ligament connects the palatine bone and the maxilla. Lastly, the Stylomandibular Ligament connects the styloid process and the angle of the mandible. Thus, based on the locations of these ligaments, the correct answer is A, the Stylohyoid Ligament, as it is the only one that came from pharyngeal arch 2.
