CENTRE
PHARYNX
• The Nasal part-
NASOPHARYNX/EPIPHARYNX:exte
nds from the base of the skull to
the soft palate.
• The Oral part-OROPHARYNX-
extends from the hard palate to
the hyoid bone.
• The laryngeal part-
LARYNGOPHARYNX/HYPOPHARYN
X-extends from the upper border
of epiglottis to lower border of
NASOPHARYNX
• UPPERMOST PART OF THE PHARYNX.
• CUBOIDAL CHAMBER.
• TRANSVERSE DIMENSION IS SLIGHTLY
BROADER THAN THE ANTERIOR-
POSTERIOR DIMENSION.
• LIES BEHIND THE NASAL CAVITY.
• HAS A PURE RESPIRATORY FUNCTION.
• LINED BY RESPIRATORY EPITHELIUM
(PSEUDOSTARTIFIED CILIATED
COLUMNAR EITHELIUM).
• SOFT PALATE AND UVULA CLOSES
NASOPHARYNX DURING
SWALLOWING AND PREVENTS
REGURGITATION OF FOOD.
PASSAVANT’S RIDGE
• It is the mucosal ridge raised by
fibres of palatopharyngeus.
• It encircles posterior and lateral
walls of nasopharyngeal isthmus.
• Soft palate during its contraction
makes firm contact with this ridge
to cut off nasopharynx from
oropharynx during deglutition or
speech.
BOUNDARIES:
SINUS OF MORGAGNI
• THE SUPERIOR CONSTRICTOR MUSCLE EXTENDS
SUPERIORLY TO THE SKULL BASE BUT ONLY IN THE
MIDLINE.
• LATERALLY THE PHARYNGOBASILAR FASCIA SERVES
TO ATTACH THE CONSTRICTOR MUSCLE TO THE
BASE OF SKULL AT THE BASIOCCIPUT AND PETROUS
PORTION OF THE TEMPORAL BONE.
• THIS LATERAL AREA OF MUSCULAR DEFICIENCY IS
THE SINUS OF MORGAGNI.

LOCAL EXTENTION OF

ANTERIORLY:
• NASAL CAVITY.
• PTERYGOID PLATES OF SPHENOID
(THROUGH LATERAL WALL OF
NASAL CAVITY).
• PTERYGOPALTINE FOSSA.
• PNS ( MAINLY POSTERIOR
ETHMOID AND MAXILLARY SINUS.)
• ORBITAL APEX (THRO INFERIOR
ORBITAL FISSURE).
• CONE-SHAPED DEPRESSION DEEP TO THE INFRATEMPORAL FOSSA
IT IS THE INDENTED AREA MEDIAL TO THE PTERYGOMAXILLARY FISSURE
POSTERIORLY
• PREVERTEBRAL MUSCLES.
• RETROPHARYNGEAL SPACE-
 POSTERIOR TO PHARYNX AND
OESOPHAGUS
 ANTERIOR TO ALAR FASCIA
 SKULL BASE TO T1-T2
 TWO CHAINS OF LYMPH NODES
ON EITHER SIDE OF THE MIDLINE
LATERALLYEarly invasion
• Parapharyngeal
space
• Levator veli palitini
• Tensor veli palitini
SUPERIORLY
• BASE OF SKULL
• SPHENOID SINUS
• CLIVUS
• CAVERNOUS SINUS
• MIDDLE CRANIAL FOSSA
• PETROUS PORTION OF TEMPORAL
BONE
The base of the skull (or skull base)
forms the floor of the cranial cavity
and separates the brain from the
structures of the neck and face.
The middle cranial fossa, deeper than
the anterior cranial fossa, is narrow
medially and widens laterally to the
sides of the skull. It is separated from
the posterior fossa by the clivus and
the petrous crest. It is bounded in
front by the posterior margins of the
lesser wings of the sphenoid bone
CAVERNOUS SINUS
• A large channel of
venous blood creating a
"sinus" cavity bordered
by the sphenoid bone
and the temporal bone
of the skull.
• The cavernous sinus is
an important structure
because of its location
and its contents which
include the third cranial
(oculomotor) nerve, the
fourth cranial (trochlear)
nerve, parts 1 (the
ophthalmic nerve) and 2
(the maxillary nerve) of
the fifth cranial
(trigeminal) nerve, and
the sixth cranial
(abducens) nerve.
INFERIORLY
• OROPHARYNX
• C1 VERTEBRAE
INVOLVEMENT OF CRANIAL NERVES

  • 2. PHARYNX • The Nasal part- NASOPHARYNX/EPIPHARYNX:exte nds from the base of the skull to the soft palate. • The Oral part-OROPHARYNX- extends from the hard palate to the hyoid bone. • The laryngeal part- LARYNGOPHARYNX/HYPOPHARYN X-extends from the upper border of epiglottis to lower border of

NASOPHARYNX • UPPERMOST PART OF THE PHARYNX. • CUBOIDAL CHAMBER. • TRANSVERSE DIMENSION IS SLIGHTLY BROADER THAN THE ANTERIOR- POSTERIOR DIMENSION. • LIES BEHIND THE NASAL CAVITY. • HAS A PURE RESPIRATORY FUNCTION. • LINED BY RESPIRATORY EPITHELIUM (PSEUDOSTARTIFIED CILIATED COLUMNAR EITHELIUM). • SOFT PALATE AND UVULA CLOSES NASOPHARYNX DURING SWALLOWING AND PREVENTS REGURGITATION OF FOOD.
  • 4. PASSAVANT’S RIDGE • It is the mucosal ridge raised by fibres of palatopharyngeus. • It encircles posterior and lateral walls of nasopharyngeal isthmus. • Soft palate during its contraction makes firm contact with this ridge to cut off nasopharynx from oropharynx during deglutition or speech.

  • 23. The base of the skull (or skull base) forms the floor of the cranial cavity and separates the brain from the structures of the neck and face. The middle cranial fossa, deeper than the anterior cranial fossa, is narrow medially and widens laterally to the sides of the skull. It is separated from the posterior fossa by the clivus and the petrous crest. It is bounded in front by the posterior margins of the lesser wings of the sphenoid bone
  • 24.
  • 25. CAVERNOUS SINUS • A large channel of venous blood creating a "sinus" cavity bordered by the sphenoid bone and the temporal bone of the skull. • The cavernous sinus is an important structure because of its location and its contents which include the third cranial (oculomotor) nerve, the fourth cranial (trochlear) nerve, parts 1 (the ophthalmic nerve) and 2 (the maxillary nerve) of the fifth cranial (trigeminal) nerve, and the sixth cranial (abducens) nerve.
