posterior pharynx and oropharynx - mt3


Posted: Jan 09, 2010

Are the posterior pharynx and oropharynx two different things?   My doc seems to be saying something different than she has ever before and I am mixed up.  I can't find it anywhere.   TIA.

Regardless of whether they are the same or not, you s/b typing whatever the dictator is saying.

The oropharynx is a section of the pharynx, or throat, located at the back of the mouth. When the mouth is opened wide, the posterior oropharynx can usually be seen directly. Its front wall is mostly found at the base of the tongue, with the tonsils on each side, and the uvula and soft palate above it. The uvula is the fleshy, cone-shaped tissue that hangs from the back portion of the soft palate, or roof of the mouth. Other sections of the pharynx are the nasopharynx and the laryngopharynx.

Thank you for your help. nm - mt3
