| pharyngeal muscles | The muscles of the pharynx are the inferior, middle and superior constrictors, salpingopharyngeus, and stylopharyngeus. (12 Dec 1998) |
|---|---|
| pharyngeal opening of auditory tube | An opening in the upper part of the nasopharynx about 1.2 cm behind the posterior extremity of the inferior concha on each side. Synonym: ostium pharyngeum tubae auditivae, pharyngeal opening of eustachian tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal opening of eustachian tube | An opening in the upper part of the nasopharynx about 1.2 cm behind the posterior extremity of the inferior concha on each side. Synonym: ostium pharyngeum tubae auditivae, pharyngeal opening of eustachian tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal pituitary | The embryonic remnant of the oral end of Rathke's pouch that is cut off from the adenohypophysis by the developing sphenoid bone; composed chiefly of chromophobes and, under normal conditions, considered physiologically inactive. See: hypophysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal plexus | The plexus of nerves including branches of the glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory nerves (cranial root), that lies along the posterior wall of the pharynx, a venous plexus on the posteriolateral walls of the pharynx, emptying through the pharyngeal veins into the internal jugular. Synonym: plexus pharyngeus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal pouch syndrome | diGeorge syndrome |
| pharyngeal raphe | The central line of the pharynx posteriorly where the muscular fibres meet and partly interlace. Synonym: raphe pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal recess | A slitlike depression in the membranous (non-muscular) pharyngeal wall extending posterior to the opening of the auditory (eustachian) tube. Synonym: recessus pharyngeus, recessus infundibuliformis, Rosenmuller's fossa, Rosenmuller's recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal reflex | The act of swallowing (second stage) induced by stimulation of the palate, fauces, or posterior pharyngeal wall. Synonym: deglutition reflex, pharyngeal reflex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal ridge | A constant band of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle which sweeps posteriorly from the anterolateral part of the superior surface of the palatine aponeurosis. It creates a visible ridge when the superior constrictor is contracted, meeting the elevated soft palate to seal off the pharyngeal isthmus during swallowing. Synonym: pharyngeal ridge, sphincter of the pharyngeal isthmus, velopharyngeal sphincter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal space | The area occupied by the pharynx (naso-, oro-, and laryngopharnynx). Not to be confused with the retropharyngeal space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal tonsil | A collection of more or less closely aggregated lymphoid nodules on the posterior wall and roof of the nasopharynx, the hypertrophy of which constitutes the morbid condition called adenoids. Synonym: tonsilla pharyngealis, tonsilla adenoidea, Luschka's gland, Luschka's tonsil, third tonsil. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal tubercle | A projection from the undersurface of the basilar portion of the occipital bone, giving attachment to the fibrous raphe of the pharynx. Synonym: tuberculum pharyngeum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal veins | Several veins from the pharyngeal venous plexus emptying into the internal jugular vein. Synonym: venae pharyngeae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngectomy | Surgical removal of a part of the pharynx. (12 Dec 1998) |
| phagocytosis |
The process by which macrophages and other specialized cells engulf and digest of bacteria and other foreign particles

| pharmacogenomics |
The evaluation of individual genomic variation in relation to the delivery and effectiveness of drugs. Knowledge of individual genotype and hence phenotype makes it possible to customize drugs and drug delivery methods for specific subgroups.

| phage display |
A technique that fuses peptides to capsid proteins on the phage surface. Libraries of phage-displayed peptides may be screened for binding to specific ligands; determination of the gene sequence of the selected phage identifies the peptide sequence.
