| | Chapter 53: THE PHARYNX AND LARYNX |
| | The pharynx is the common channel for deglutition (swallowing) and respiration, and the food and air pathways cross each other in the pharynx. | | | The motor and most of the sensory supply to the pharynx is by way of the pharyngeal plexus, which, situated chiefly on the middle constrictor, is formed by the pharyngeal branches of the vagus and glossopharyngeal nerves and also by sympathetic nerve fibers. | | | 53-1 Anterior to which vertebrae is the pharynx situated? |

| | Figure 2 and 3 illustrate the arrangement and attachments of these longitudinal muscles, as well as their relationship to the circularly disposed muscles of the pharynx. | | | In addition, contraction of the 3 longitudinal muscles of the pharynx helps to raise the pharynx, effectively aiding it in engulfing the bolus of food. | | | On the left side the constrictors have been left in their normal anatomical position, so that the relationship between the STYLOPHARYNGEUS muscle and the superior and middle constrictors can be clearly visualized. |

| | As soon as the bolus of food is received in the pharynx, the elevator muscles relax, the pharynx descends, and the Constrictores contract upon the bolus, and convey it downward into the esophagus. | | | Muscles of the pharynx, viewed from behind, together with the associated vessels and nerves. | | | The Stylopharyngei, which are much farther removed from one another at their origin than at their insertion, draw the sides of the pharynx upward and lateralward, and so increase its transverse diameter; its breadth in the antero-posterior direction is increased by the larynx and tongue being carried forward in their ascent. |
