O: Cartilage part of auditory tube
I: blends with the palatopharyngeus
INN: pharyngeal branch of vagus and pharyngeal plexus
A: Elevate pharynx during swallowing and speaking
Stylopharyngeus O, I, Inn, A
O: styloid process for temporal bone
I: Post and Sup border of thyroid cartilage
INN: Glossopharyngeal (CN9)
A: elevate pharynx during swallowing and speaking
Motor nerve fibers of the pharynx are derived from?
cranial root of the accessory nerve and carried by the vagus nerve via the pharyngeal branches to all mms of pharynx (except stylopharyngeus, tensor veli palatini and inf constrictor)
