Pharynx Cavity

The pharyngeal cavity is an anatomical formation located between the pharynx and larynx and performs respiratory, digestive and protective functions. The entrance to the pharyngeal cavity is located between the soft palate and the epiglottis, and the exit is between the right and left arytenoid cartilages. The cavity is under the control of muscles that control the opening and closing of the entrance and exit of the cavity, allowing breathing and swallowing food.

The pharyngeal cavity can be examined using endoscopy, a procedure that involves inserting a thin flexible tube with a camera at the end directly into the pharyngeal cavity. This method allows you to examine the internal structures of the pharyngeal cavity and identify possible diseases such as polyps or tumors.

The pharyngeal cavity is the space located between the pharynx and the soft palate, shaped like a cone, the apex of which is directed forward and upward. The pharyngeal cavity contains the anatomical structures of the pharynx, such as the tonsils, uvula, Pirogov's triangle, soft palate, epiglottis and larynx.

The palatine tonsils are paired organs of the lymphatic system of the pharynx, having a round shape. Each tonsil consists of lymphoid tissue covered with a capsule that surrounds it on all sides. Inside the tonsils there is parenchyma, it consists of reticular cells and immature lymph nodes.
