Pharyngeal Anatomy and Constrictors – Structure of the Pharyngeal Wall, Nerves, and Clinical Spaces (2024) Department of Anatomy, Medical University

Description

Detailed anatomical notes on the pharynx, covering the composition of the pharyngeal wall, the three circular constrictor muscles (SC, MC, IC), longitudinal muscles (Stylopharyngeus, Palatopharyngeus, Salpingopharyngeus), and the neurovascular structures that pass through the gaps between these constrictors (e.g., CN IX, Superior Laryngeal Nerve/Artery, Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve). Includes clinical correlates like Killian’s Dehiscence (site for Zenker’s Diverticulum) and the Sinus of Morgagni.
