“…This might have a role in obstructive sleep apnoea, abnormal swallowing, pharyngeal clearance, speech, respiratory modulation, dysphagia, cancer, pharyngeal reconstruction, pharyngoplasty etc. [2,4,7,10,[20][21][22][23]. Understanding the normal/abnormal anatomy and physiology of eating and swallowing is the fundamental keystone in evaluating and treating disorders, pertinent to the region and in developing programs for dysphagia rehabilitation.…”

“…Constriction of the lumen of pharynx is a peristaltic sequence and results from displacement of tongue, hyoid bone, and larynx and due to the contractility of the constrictor muscles as well as the three longitudinal muscles [4][5][6]. The complexity of the human pharyngeal airway is substantiated by studies addressing their respiratory modulation.…”

“…According to Moore et al the pharynx is divided into nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx 7 . The nasopharynx is involved in respiration and speech modulation while the oropharynx and laryngopharynx participate mainly in swallowing 7,12 In accordance with modern anatomic texts, Ibn Sina described accurately the topography of the palatine tonsils in between the palatoglossal and salpingopharyngeal folds 6,7 . Furthermore, Avicenna described lingual tonsils on the posterior third of the tongue 6 .…”

Background: Avicenna (also known as Ibn Sina) was arguably one of the outstanding medical scientists and physicians of the time. He made significant contributions in the development of various medical fields in the golden age of Islamic medicine (9-12 th century AD) and in Europe. Ibn Sina contributed immensely to human anatomy, physiology, pathology and management of most disorders of the human body. Of paramount importance was the systemic description of the anatomy of various organs and surgical interventions associated with the problems. Although neither formal dissection nor surgical training was recorded during his time, the anatomic and surgical information presented in the Canon of Medicine is congruent with modern advancement. The current study was undertaken to compare Avicenna's anatomy of the ear, nose, oral cavity, throat and larynx to modern anatomical texts. Methods: The current work analysed the anatomy information on the ear, nose, oral cavity, throat and the larynx as presented in volumes one and three of the Canon of Medicine. The information was compared to modern anatomic descriptions. Results: Avicenna described correctly the anatomy and functions of the external and internal ear, nose, oral cavity, parts of the throat and larynx. He described voice production in the larynx and subsequent contributions on the nose, uvula and tongue in shaping the syllables. The functional aspects, disorders and their management associated with the ear and the upper respiratory system were also described. Conclusions: The findings show that Ibn Sina's contributions had a major influence on the development and advancement of medical practise. His anatomic explanations are comparable to modern knowledge on the subject. They also show that the Canon of Medicine is still a valuable book in the study of the history of medicine.

“…The pharyngeal constrictor muscles forming the posterior wall of the pharynx consist of three muscles, namely, superior, middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscles [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Previous anatomical studies have sought to ascertain the morphological and muscular properties of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle adjacent to the esophagus [9][10][11].…”

Morphologic Characteristics of the Superior Pharyngeal Constrictor Muscle in Relation to the Function During Swallowing

To clarify the morphological characteristics of the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle which plays an important role in swallowing, the gross anatomy of the pterygopharyngeal, buccopharyngeal, mylopharyngeal and glossopharyngeal parts of the muscle was examined. Morphology of the origin of the muscle at the buccopharyngeal part could be divided into three types: type A, membranous morphology from superior to inferior areas; type B, membranous only in superior area; and type C, comp lete lack of membrane. In all three types, the muscle at the buccopharyngeal part transitionally originated from the buccinator muscle. Morphology of the origin of the muscle at the mylopharyngeal part could be divided into two types: type A, tip of the origin on the mylohyoid line; and type B, tip of the origin away from the mylohyoid line. The present study indicated that the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle attached to the buccinator muscle (which plays an important role in mastication) with mucosa, and originated from the mandible and root of the tongue. These findings suggest that the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle may also play an important role in the expression of smooth coordinated movements associated with ingestion, from mastication to swallowing.
