Pharyngeal membrane

The pharyngeal membrane (membrana stomatopharyngealis, lne; synonym buccal-pharyngeal membrane) is an anatomical structure located in the posterior part of the oropharynx.

It is a connective tissue septum that separates the oral cavity from the pharynx. The pharyngeal membrane extends from the posterior parts of the alveolar arches of the upper and lower jaw to the soft palate and the root of the tongue.

The pharyngeal membrane performs a number of important functions:

1. Separates the oral cavity and pharynx, preventing food and saliva from entering the airways during swallowing.

2. Participates in the formation of speech sounds, vibrating when pronouncing n

The pharyngeal membranes are structures that connect the nasal cavity and throat to the oral cavity and larynx. They have an important function in ensuring respiration and are part of the body's defense system. In this article we will look at this interesting anatomical structure and its significance for human health.

The pharyngeal membrane is located in the posterior wall of the pharynx, just behind the uvula and tonsils. It consists of connective tissue containing many elastic fibers. On its surface there are villi directed towards the oropharynx. The pharyngeal quail passes around the area of ​​the bottom of the pharynx and merges with the uvula. It has a specific shape and size and has three layers: the outer layer has a blue base, the middle layer has a pink color and the inner layer has a white color.
