		Pharyngeal articulation as a linguistically distinct speech sounds is rarely used among the languages of the world.
		The way pharyngeal consonants are pronounced by bilingual speakers of Greek and Italian minorities in Egypt, by non-native speakers learning Arabic as a second language and by young native children, prompts us to examine the process of acquisition of pharyngeal consonants by native and non-native speakers of Arabic.
		The model was tested first by examining its ability to account for the delay observed in the acquisition of pharyngeal articulation by native speakers, and second by examining the model viability to predict the constraints on the distribution patterns in Colloquial Egyptian Arabic.

		The initial stop is glottal and the second stop is pharyngeal, that is, the first involves the vocal folds and ventricular folds in the stricture while the second involves aryepiglottic fold constriction to achieve full closure of the supraglottal mechanism against the base of the epiglottis.
		This mechanism is observed to constitute the principal "pharyngeal articulator." This interpretation views the pharyngeal stop as auditorily equivalent to what has been called a "massive glottal stop," and to what has been called an "epiglottal stop." The pharyngeal stop is represented by the IPA symbol for an epiglottal stop

	The Pharynx (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-06)
		The sensory nerve supply of the pharyngeal mucosa is from the IX, X, and internal superior laryngeal nerve (ISLN) and plays crucial roles in reflex initiation and modulation of many upper airway reflexes.
		The motor innervation to the UES sphincter is particularly complex as the pharyngeal plexus is augmented by additional innervation from the recurrent (RLN) and the external superior laryngeal nerves (ESLN).
		Areas that are known to elicit reflexes, such as the lateral pharyngeal folds (which is the main area that triggers swallowing) have markedly dense sensory innervation.

	Clinical disorders of oral, pharyngeal and esophageal motility : GI Motility online
		Dysphagia caused by oral and pharyngeal disorders can be differentiated from dysphagia due to esophageal disorders, based on the patient's localization of the site of the difficulty to the mouth and throat, or chest, respectively.
		Although dysphagia due to esophageal lesions may sometimes be localized to the throat, dysphagia due to oral or pharyngeal causes does not localize to the chest.
		The most distinguishing feature of dysphagia due to pharyngeal causes is the misdirection of food into the nose or the lungs, resulting in the complaint of nasal regurgitation of food and choking and coughing during swallowing.

	Endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouch
		Pharyngeal pouch, which is also known as Zenker's diverticulum, occurs when the pharyneal lining herniates through the muscles of the pharyngeal wall.
		A pharyngeal pouch may cause difficulty in swallowing or cough, and sometimes causes respiratory problems because of aspiration of the pouch contents.
		Endoscopic stapling of pharyngeal pouch involves stapling of the opening of the pharyngeal pouch through a specially designed endoscope, under general anaesthetic.

		At stage 24, expression in the third and fourth pouches is concentrated in a region dorsal of the pharyngeal pouches and is lost from the second pouch (G).
		In Vibratome sections of stage-22 embryos (H), it is clear that Gcm-2 expression is localized to the pharyngeal endoderm and that, by stage 24, the region of the pharyngeal endoderm expressing Gcm-2 has thickened and given rise to round masses that are the parathyroid gland rudiments of the third and fourth pouches (I).

	Pharyngeal Cancer Information - Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment
		The pharynx, often called the throat, is a hollow tube about 5 inches long that starts behind the nose and goes down to the neck to become part of the esophagus (tube that goes to the stomach).
		The chance of recovery (prognosis) depends on where the cancer is in the throat, whether the cancer is just in the throat or has spread to other tissues (the stage), and the patient's general state of health.
		After the pharyngeal cancer treatment, a doctor should be seen regularly because there is a chance of having a second cancer in the head or neck region.

		A pharyngeal consonant is a type of consonant which is articulated with the root of the tongue against the pharynx.
		Pharyngeals are known primarily from two areas of the world: in North-Africa/Mideast (in the Semitic, Berber, Cushitic, Circassian, and Dagestanian families) and in British Columbia (in the Wakashan and Salish families).
		In Finnish, a weak pharyngeal fricative is the realization of /h/ next to the vowel /a/, but since this is mere allophony, it is transcribed as /h/.

		The adenoids, residing in the posterior pharyngeal wall, and the pharyngeal tonsils, on the lateral pharyngeal walls, may augment or interfere with the function of those walls in velopharyngeal closure (Marsh, 2004).
		The nasopharyngoscope is placed through the nasal cavity superior to the VP port, and the movements of the velum, the lateral pharyngeal walls, and the posterior pharyngeal wall are observed while the patient repeats oral speech targets that he or she can correctly articulate.
		Tissue from the posterior pharyngeal wall is attached to the soft palate, creating a midline subtotal obstruction of the oral and nasal cavities with 2 small lateral openings, or ports, that ideally remain patent during respiration and nasal consonant production and close for oral consonants.

	21st Century Oncology
		The staging of pharyngeal cancer is based on three factors. The first of these is the size and degree of spread of the primary cancer itself. The second is the degree in which lymph nodes are involved. The third is the presence or absence of distant spread in other parts of the body.
		Radiation therapy is also an effective modality for treating pharyngeal cancer. Sometimes radiation is given after surgery when there is a high risk of residual cancer. Radiation can also be used as a treatment in and of itself. This requires higher doses of radiation with more potential for long-term side effects.
		Careful attention to dental care is important in minimizing the risk of damage to the jawbone. Patients with pharyngeal cancer are often evaluated by a dentist or oral surgeon prior to initiation of radiation. Sometimes it is advisable to remove damaged teeth ahead of time. In other cases, fluoride treatment may be prescribed.

	Evolution of feeding mechanisms
		Study of the patterns of recruitment of the pharyngeal muscles during feeding using electromyography, coupled with visualization of movements of the skeleton of the head and the prey via X-ray cinematography, provided evidence that winnowing is accomplished through increased mobility of the pharyngeal jaws, not through anatomical specialization of the jaws themselves.
		To explore more broadly the evolutionary origin of specialized pharyngeal jaw processing behaviors, of which winnowing is an example, it was necessary to establish the ancestral condition, a problem not previously explored.

	Stapler failure in pharyngeal diverticulectomy.
		The use of a mechanical stapling device during excision of a pharyngeal pouch is now becoming more common, and has many adyantages including less contamination of the wound by pharyngeal contents and a shorter operating time.
		Pharyngeal pouch (Zenker’s diverticulum) is a pulsion diverticulum which originates from Killian’s dehiscence between the cricopharyngeus and thyropharyngeus muscles.
		Closure with sutures is difficult and time consuming, and the potential exists for contamination of the wound with pharyngeal contents, leading to an increased risk of infection and fistula formation.

	Longer Airway In Men Raises Potential For Pharyngeal Collapse
		Because of a substantially longer airway, men are much more predisposed to pharyngeal collapse than women, which investigators believe could explain their much higher risk of obstructive sleep apnea.
		In addition to their substantially longer pharyngeal airways, men also had an increased cross-sectional area of soft palate and increased airway volume.
		Based on an in-depth study of 19 males and 20 females to determine the anatomic and physiologic variables that are mechanistically important in pharyngeal behavior, the researchers constructed a model of a human upper airway.
