Ultimately, the highly organized anatomy of the pharyngeal pouches complements underlying molecular mechanisms to coordinate the specification and maturation of several unique lineages simultaneously.

The pharyngeal recess, also known as the fossa of Rosenmüller, is a posterolateral outpouching from each side of the nasopharynx that lies posterior to the eustachian tube and its expanded distal cartilaginous portion, known as the torus tubarius. ...
This work, focused primarily on anatomy and physiology of the oropharyngeal swallowing mechanism, describes a progression of change that may put the older population at increased risk for dysphagia. This research is particularly relevant when an older healthy adult, whose functional reserve (ability to...
The alar fascia separates the retropharyngeal space from the danger space located posterior to it. The danger space is so named because of the risk that an infection in this space can directly invade the mediastinum, causing serious and even fatal consequences such as mediastinitis, empyema, and ...
Simultaneously, the posterior part of the tongue forms a chute that allows the bolus to pass from the isthmus into the oropharynx. If the tongue is weak or paralyzed, the bolus spills over in the oral cavity or into the pharynx. This causes aspiration before the swallow....
On the other hand, when the palatopharyngeus and palatoglossus muscles work together, they open the nasal cavity and elevate the posterior part of the tongue, a movement related to a continuous breathing technique known as circular breathing [5], which involves inhaling without interrupting the ...
With an increased understanding of palatopharyngeal anatomy, a move away from non-selective, resective procedures toward more refined and individualized treatment approaches has been adopted. Cahali et al. in 2004 were the first to show that addressing the lateral pharyngeal walls is necessary to ach...
