| pharyngeal | <anatomy> Of or pertaining to the pharynx; in the region of the pharynx. See: Pharynx. <anatomy> A pharyngeal bone or cartilage; especially, one of the lower pharyngeals, which belong to the rudimentary fifth branchial arch in many fishes, or one of the upper pharyngeals, or pharyngobranchials, which are the dorsal elements in the complete branchial arches.

| pharyngeal arches | Typically, 6 arch's in vertebrates; in the lower vertebrates, they bear gills; in the higher vertebrates, they appear transiently and give rise to specialised structures in the head and neck. Synonym: pharyngeal arches, visceral arches. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branches | Branches to the pharynx. Synonym: pharyngei, rami pharyngeales. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of descending palatine artery | <anatomy, artery> May arise as a separate branch or as a continuation of lesser palatine artery. Synonym: ramus pharyngeus arteriae palatini descendens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of glossopharyngeal nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Conveys general sensory fibres to the mucosa of the oropharynx via the pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: rami pharyngei nervi glossopharyngei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of inferior thyroid artery | <anatomy, artery> Distributed to laryngopharynx. Synonym: rami pharyngeales arteriae thyroideae inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of pterygopalatine ganglion | Branch of pterygopalatine ganglion passing posteriorly through pharyngeal canal to supply postsynaptic parasympathetic fibres to mucus glands of nasopharynx. Synonym: ramus pharyngeus ganglii pterygopalatini, Bock's nerve. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of the artery of pterygoid canal | Distributed to uppermost nasopharynx (pharyngeal recesses). Synonym: ramus pharyngeus arteriae canalis pterygoidei. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal branch of vagus nerve | <anatomy, nerve> Conveys motor fibres from the cranial root of the accessory nerve to the pharyngeal constrictor muscles, the intrinsic muscles of the soft palate and the levator palati muscle; may also bring some general sensory fibres to the pharyngeal plexus. Synonym: rami pharyngei nervi vagi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal bursa | <anatomy> A cystic notochordal remnant found inconstantly in the posterior wall of the nasopharynx at the lower end of the pharyngeal tonsil. Synonym: bursa pharyngea, Luschka's bursa, Tornwaldt's cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |

| pharyngeal canal | On the undersurface of the vaginal process of the sphenoid bone, a furrow that is converted into a canal by the sphenoidal process of the palatine bone; it transmits the pharyngeal branch of the maxillary artery and the pharyngeal nerve from the pterygopalatine ganglion. Synonym: canalis palatovaginalis, palatovaginal canal. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pharyngeal cartilages | Cartilage's developing within the vertebrate or embryonic branchial arches; they form the cartilaginous viscerocranium. Synonym: pharyngeal cartilages. (05 Mar 2000) |
