Just below this is the hypopharynx, the lateral margins of which are very thin. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Down through the median line of the hypopharynx runs a minute duct (Fig. 67, sal) which, though exceedingly small, is of very great importance, for through it is poured the saliva which may carry the malaria germs into the wound made when the mosquito bites. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Lepidoptera and Diptera, to maxillary structures: has also been used for the hypopharynx, and that use might be adopted: a median organ of the hypopharynx in Apterygota. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
There are two sets of these, each having three lobes with a common duct which joins the duct from the other set a short distance before they enter the base of the hypopharynx. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Endolabium: the inner or mouth surface of the labium: the hypopharynx when that is well developed. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
Metastoma: in Orthoptera: = hypopharynx: q.v. Metatarsus: applied to basal joint of tarsus, where that differs greatly in length or otherwise from the other joints: see sarothrum. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
As soon as the wound is made the insect pours out through the tube of the hypopharynx some of the secretion from the salivary glands and then begins to suck up the blood through the hollow labrum into the pharynx and on into the stomach. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
Phallus: = penis: q.v. Pharyngeal pump: = sucking pump; q.v. Pharynx: the back part of the mouth and upper part of the throat: a slight enlargement at the beginning of the oesophagus: in Diptera is sometimes restricted to the space between the hypopharynx and sub-clypeal pump, and is then = sub-clypeal tube. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
Hypopharyngeal sclerites: in bees, a pair of strap-like pieces along the hypopharynx to the mentum: see also epipharyngeal sclerites. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
Palate: = hypopharynx; q.v. Paleace: chaff or chaffy: = paleaceous. ❋ John. B. Smith (N/A)
The hypopharynx is united to the labium, the mandibles are wanting and the maxillæ are very much reduced so that the insect is unable to pierce the tough skin of animals. ❋ Rennie Wilbur Doane (N/A)
The beginner is apt to insert the speculum too far and expose the hypopharynx rather than the larynx. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
The hypopharynx tapers down to the gullet like a funnel, and the larynx is suspended in its lumen from the anterior wall. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
In following down with the laryngoscope the speculum is prone to enter the hypopharynx. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
The tip of the tube should now be directed somewhat toward the midline, remembering the funnel shape of the hypopharynx. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
-- Inspection of the hypopharynx and upper esophagus is readily made with the esophageal speculum shown in Fig. 4. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
This muscle is attached laterally to the edges of the signet of the cricoid which it pulls with an incomprehensible power against the posterior wall of the hypopharynx, thus closing the mouth of the esophagus. ❋ Chevalier Jackson (1911)
Importantly, radiation to the head and neck, especially when it includes the tissues of the mouth, pharynx and hypopharynx, results in significant ulcerative OM in greater than 90% of patients and can compromise the patient's ability or willingness to accept a complete course of therapy. ❋ Pillscribe (2010)
Between July 2002 and May 2005, this multi-institutional randomized phase III trial analyzed 721 patients with stage III-IV carcinoma of the oral cavity, oropharynx, hypopharynx or larynx, with 360 receiving accelerated radiation and 361 receiving standard radiation with two and three cycles of cisplatin, respectively. ❋ Editors (2010)
Factors associated with poorer swallowing ability were: being older; have poor swallowing ability before treatment; neck dissection surgery to remove lymph nodes and surrounding tissue; and having a tumor in the hypopharynx or larynx. ❋ Unknown (2010)
