Anatomy

Palatopharyngeus muscle

A paired skeletal muscle shown as a pink-red, slightly flattened ribbon-like sheet descending vertically to slightly obliquely from the soft palate into the lateral pharyngeal wall. The muscle is broad superiorly, may broaden where it blends with the pharyngeal wall, and tapers inferiorly with smooth ends. Subtle parallel longitudinal striations or fiber detail are visible along its broad, strap-like form.
