==Introduction==

Line 28: Line 27:

*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]]

==Function==

*Single duct connects [[Nasopharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|nasal pharynx]] to the nasal cavity

+

'''Equine'''

+

*Auditory tube opens into the gutteral pouch
