Buccopharyngeal Chamber

	Buccopharyngeal Chamber In anatomy, buccopharyngeal structures are those pertaining to the cheek and the pharynx or to the mouth and the pharynx. It may refer to: * Buccopharyngeal membrane * Buccopharyngeal fascia The buccopharyngeal fascia is a fascia in the head and neck. Structure The buccopharyngeal runs parallel to the medial aspect of the carotid sheath. It is a thin lamina given off from the pretracheal fascia. It is attached to the prevertebral ... {{disambiguation Anatomy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Buccopharyngeal Membrane The region where the crescentic masses of the ectoderm and endoderm come into direct contact with each other constitutes a thin membrane, the buccopharyngeal membrane (or oropharyngeal membrane), which forms a septum between the primitive mouth and pharynx. In front of the buccopharyngeal area, where the lateral crescents of mesoderm fuse in the middle line, the pericardium The pericardium, also called pericardial sac, is a double-walled sac containing the heart and the roots of the great vessels. It has two layers, an outer layer made of strong connective tissue (fibrous pericardium), and an inner layer made of ... is afterward developed, and this region is therefore designated the ''pericardial area''. The buccopharyngeal membranes serve as a respiratory surface in a wide variety of amphibians and reptiles. In this type of respiration, membranes in the mouth and throat are permeable to oxygen and carbon dioxide. In some species that remain submerged in water for long period ...

	Buccopharyngeal Fascia The buccopharyngeal fascia is a fascia in the head and neck. Structure The buccopharyngeal runs parallel to the medial aspect of the carotid sheath. It is a thin lamina given off from the pretracheal fascia. It is attached to the prevertebral fascia by loose connective tissue, with the retropharyngeal space found between them. It may also be attached to the alar fascia posteriorly at C3 and C6 levels. The thyroid gland wraps around the trachea and oesophagus anterior to the buccopharyngeal fascia, so that the lateral parts of the thyroid gland border it. Function The buccopharyngeal fascia envelops the superior pharyngeal constrictor muscles. It closely invests the constrictor muscles of the pharynx. It is continued forward from the constrictor pharyngis superior onto the buccinator The buccinator () is a thin quadrilateral muscle occupying the interval between the maxilla and the mandible at the side of the face. It forms the anterior part of the cheek or the lateral ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
