The pharynx, as the junction of the aero-digestive pathways, is situated in the centre of the cervico-facial region. The description of its anatomic components will be complemented by a study of the muscular-aponeurotic features, that the pharynx forms with its surrounding regions, presenting a complex velo-pharyngo-facial structure, the anatomic unity of which will be confirmed by a functional unit.
