*Mandible, pterygoid muscles and [[Hyoid Apparatus - Anatomy & Physiology|hyoid apparatus]] laterally
*Mandible, pterygoid muscles and [[Hyoid Apparatus - Anatomy & Physiology|hyoid apparatus]] laterally
*During [[Deglutition|swallowing]] the [[Soft Palate - Anatomy & Physiology|soft palate]] is raised which divided the pharynx into dorsal and ventral sections
**Laterally, two pairs of palatopharyngeal arches are present from the [[Soft Palate - Anatomy & Physiology|soft palate]] to the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]]
**The dorsal compartment is the [[Nasopharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|nasal pharynx]]
**The rostral compartment is the [[Oral Cavity - Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|oropharynx]]
*The laryngeal pharynx is separated from the [[Oral Cavity - Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|oropharynx]] by the [[Epiglottis|epiglottis]]
