#act as a conduit for air,which has been warmed and humidified in the nose,in its passage to the larynx and trachea
#through the eustachian tube it ventilates the middle ear and equalises air pressure on both SIDS of tympanic membrane . it is important for hearing
#elevation of the soft palate against posterior pharyngeal wall and the passvant's ridge help to cut off nasophrynx from oropharynx.this fumction is important during swallowing ,vomiting,gagging,and speech.
#act as a resonating chamber during voice production.
#act as a drainage channel for the mucus secreted by nasal and nasopharyngeal glands .
The superior portion of the pharynx is called the nasopharynx. It is located behind the nasal cavity and above the soft palate. The nasopharynx is involved in respiration and houses the openings of the Eustachian tubes.
The areas of the pharynx are the Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, and Laryngopharynx. The nasopharynx it provides passageway for air. The oropharynx is below the nasopharynx and is for food moving downward from the mouth and for air moving to and from the nasal cavity. Lastly the laryngopharynx is below the oropharynx and is a passageway to the esophagus.
No, the laryngopharynx is the lowest part of the pharynx, which connects to the esophagus and larynx, while the nasopharynx is the upper part of the pharynx that connects to the nasal cavity. The oropharynx is located between these two regions and blends with the nasopharynx at the level of the soft palate.
The uvula flips up during swallowing to prevent fluid from entering the nasopharynx.
Yes, the auditory tube connects the middle ear to the nasopharynx, allowing for equalization of pressure between the middle ear space and the atmosphere.
the Nasopharynx
The pharynx conducts air from the nasopharynx to the laryngopharynx.
The nasopharynx is the space above the soft palate at the back of thethe nose and connects the nose to the mouth,
LarynxIt is the NASOPHARYNX. It can not be the Larynx because it's not part of the pharynx. The upper portion of the pharynx, the nasopharynx; is the passageway for air.

No, the uvula is located at the back of the mouth, hanging down from the soft palate. It functions in helping to seal off the nasopharynx during swallowing and speech.
I think nasopharynx xray cpt code we search in cpt book it leads to 70360.
nasopharynx
adeniod
The relative superior endpoint of the nasopharynx is the skull base, which separates it from the base of the skull. The relative inferior endpoint is the upper surface of the soft palate, which forms the boundary between the nasopharynx and the oropharynx.
In a fetal pig, the function of the nasopharynx is to connect the oral and nasal cavities. It is located in the upper throat, behind the nose.
