Term
1st part of nasopharynx
Definition
first is the nasopharynx V2
division occcurs starting from back of nasal septum
includes soft palate from posterior border of nasal septum to levvel of soft palate when raised in swallowing
Term
2nd division
Definition
Oropharynx-IX
Starts from anterior border is paltoglossal ridge
Term
3rd Division
Definition
Laryngopharynx
laryngeal inlet
epiglottis
cricod cartilage
oesophogus
Term
pharyngeal tubercle
Definition
bone structure in front of foramen magnum, point of attachment for muscles
Term
pharyngobasilar fascia
Definition
toguh doesn't allow for much movement
Term
pharyngeal raphe
Definition
meeting poitn for 2 sets of muscles from each side
Term
stylohyoid ligament
Definition
attachment for superior middle constrictor
thyropharyngeus
Term
stylopharyngeus
Definition
innervation: IX
attach: styloid process to pharynx; starts outside, then dives into pharynx
Term
circopharyngeus
Definition
no raphe, so cricoid cartilage on one side to cricoid cartilage on other side
Term
constrictors, stylopharyngeus, cricopharyngeus,thyropharyngeus
innervation
Definition
X except for stylopharyngeus which is IX.

Sympathetic chain and laryngeal nerve run alongside pharynx.
Term
tensor veli palatine
Definition
innevation V3
passes around the pterygoid hamulus to form palatine aponeurosis
Term
levator veli palatine
Definition
attach: eustachian tube, soft palate
action: elevates soft palate
Term
salpingopharyngeus
Definition
attach: eustachian tube, pharynx
joins paltopharyngues
shortens palate makes ears pop
Term
palatoglossus
Definition
attach soft palate to tongue
attach helps with swallowing lowers soft palate
Term
palatopharyngeus
Definition
attach: soft palat then joins with salpnigopharyngeus
action: shorten pharynx lowers soft palate.
Term
stylopharyngeus
Definition
attach styloid process and thyroid cartilage

action shortens pharynx aids swallowing
innervation IX
Term
tubal tonsil
Definition
near eustachian tube
can obstruct it create vacuum causing pain and hearing problems, may become sticky glue ear
Term
palatine tonsil
Definition
lymphoid tisse behind paltoglossus but in front of platopharyngeus
Term
lingual tonsil
Definition
posterior 1/3 of tongue small aggregates
Term
adenoid tonsils
Definition
back of throat near eustachian tube
Term
swallowing
Definition
tognue changes shape to push food to back of mouth, elevate soft palate to seal nasopharynx from oropharynx
pharynx and hyoid bone go up
food goes up into esophogus
epiglottis closes
