The pharynx is the body cavity that connects the nasal and oral cavities with the larynx and esophagus. It is commonly referred to as the throat. The pharynx is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems. For the digestive system, its muscular walls function in the process of swallowing and it serves as a pathway for the movement of food from the mouth to the esophagus.
The pharynx is connected to the oral and nasal oral cavities and contains the entrances to the Eustachian tube, and the larynx (described in detail in Chapter 4. Respiratory System, Larynx). The pharynx is lined by stratified squamous epithelium. The lamina propria of the pharynx contains minor salivary glands. The 4X micrograph presents the glands of the pharynx, the glandular soft palate forming the roof of the pharynx, and the epiglottis (the epiglottis is depicted in detail in Chapter 4. Respiratory System, Pharynx and Epiglottis 20X and 40X). The 10X micrograph shows those glandular elements in more detail, while the 20X micrograph displays the acini and duct of mucous glands present in the soft palate. The 40X micrograph shows the layers of the stratified squamous epithelium lining the pharynx. Â© 2004 Texas Histopages. All rights reserved.
