| tela submucosa pharyngis | The fibrous coat of the pharyngeal wall situated between the mucous and muscular coats; it is attached above to the basilar part of the occipital bone, and the petrous part of the temporal bone. This layer and the mucosa which lines it forms the wall of the non-muscular pharynx (pharyngeal vault) above the superior pharyngesl constrictor muscle. Synonym: fascia pharyngobasilaris, aponeurosis pharyngea, tela submucosa pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tunica mucosa pharyngis | The mucous coat of the pharynx. Synonym: tunica mucosa pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tunica muscularis pharyngis | Muscular layer of the pharyngeal wall. In contrast with the muscular coats of the rest of the gastrointestinal tract (except anal canal), that of the pharynx has an outer circular layer and an inner longitudinal layer. Synonym: tunica muscularis pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| lacuna pharyngis | A depression near the pharyngeal opening of the auditory (eustachian) tube. (05 Mar 2000) |
| fornix pharyngis | The non-muscular upper end of the nasopharynx where the pharyngeal mucosa is firmly applied to the body of the sphenoid bone and to pharyngobasilar fascia. Synonym: fornix pharyngis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumonia, mycoplasma | Interstitial pneumonia caused by extensive infection of the lungs and bronchi, particularly the lower lobes of the lungs, by mycoplasma pneumoniae. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mycoplasma | Prokaryotic microorganisms lacking cell walls and therefore resistant to many antibiotics. Formerly known as pleuro pneumonia like organisms (PPLO). A causative agent of pneumonia in humans and some domestic animals, is Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Troublesome contaminants of animal cell cultures, in which they may grow attached or close to cell surfaces, subtly altering properties of the cells, but escaping detection unless specifically monitored. Similar organisms, spiroplasms cause various diseases in plants. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Mycoplasma agalactiae | A bacterial species causing contagious agalactia of sheep and goats, a common disease in the Mediterranean region. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma buccale | A bacterial species which is an infrequent parasitic inhabitant of the human oropharynx; it is the predominant mycoplasma in the oropharynx of nonhuman primates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma conjunctivae subsp. ovis | A bacterial subspecies associated with pinkeye of sheep. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Mycoplasma faucium | A species which is a rare member of the normal flora of the human oropharynx; it is occasionally found in the oropharynx of nonhuman primates. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mycoplasma fermentans | A species of the genus mycoplasma, originally isolated infrequently from the lower genital tract of humans, and possessing uncertain pathogenicity. The incognitus strain of m. Fermentans has been identified in necrotizing lesions of multiple organs from aids and non-aids patients dying of an acute influenza-like disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Mycoplasma gallisepticum | A bacterial species causing chronic respiratory disease of chickens and infectious sinusitis of turkeys. (05 Mar 2000) |
