Nasopharyngeal Stroke

Nasopharyngeal passage

The nasopharyngeal (nasopharyngeal) passage is a canal connecting the nasal cavity to the nasopharynx. It begins at the junction of the lower wall of the nasal cavity and the upper wall of the pharynx and passes through the nasopharynx, where it continues as a canal that exits into the upper middle ear.

The function of the nasopharyngeal passage is to protect the upper respiratory tract from infections and foreign bodies, as well as to provide drainage of mucus and secretions secreted from the nose into the nasopharynx.

Normally, the nasopharyngeal canal contains a small amount of mucus, which moisturizes and protects the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract. However, with various diseases such as sinusitis, rhinitis, allergic rhinitis and others, the amount of mucus in the nasopharyngeal canal may increase. This can lead to blockage of the nasopharyngeal passage and cause difficulty breathing, coughing, sneezing and other symptoms.

To avoid these problems, it is necessary to regularly clean the nasopharyngeal canal of mucus and other secretions. To do this, you can use saline solutions, which help thin the mucus and make it easier to remove. It is also useful to regularly rinse the nasopharynx using special devices that create pressure and wash away mucus from the nasopharyngeal area.

In addition, it is important to monitor the health of the upper respiratory tract, avoid hypothermia and contact with sick people. Regular preventive examinations with an otolaryngologist will help identify possible problems and begin treatment in a timely manner.

Thus, the nasopharyngeal canal is an important element of the upper respiratory tract and plays a key role in its protection and functioning. Proper cleansing and care of the nasopharyngeal canal helps prevent the development of diseases and improve overall health.

The nasopharyngeal passage is the canal that connects the nasal cavity to the pharynx. In humans, this canal is 3–4 cm long and triangular in shape. Its walls are represented by four layers of different tissues. This canal is located in the lower part of the nasal septum and is bounded above by the incisive bone. Noso-glo
