What is the pharynx function???   --Gigilili 19:26, 8 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Function

message: Not good style to put a general google search link in the main text. If you have a specific site or reference of interest then make an appropriate section and put it in there.Jellytussle 00:20, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Links 

message: "The human pharynx is bent at a sharper angle than other mammal pharynges, enabling us to produce a wider variety of sounds, but also increasing problems with choking."
References please. Are these comments sustainable? Has there been a comparative study of choking in humans compared to other mammals or is this theoretical? The human pharynx does not appear to be bent at any sharp angles in any textbook or scan I have seen.Jellytussle 04:35, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Anatomy 

message: Can we please restore it to the March 4th or March 9th version, which had an introduction stating first of all what the pharynx is, and a diagram of the pharynx?  Seriously, the current version is complete dogshit--a serious downgrade.  I don't know how anyone could possibly think removing the diagram and the intro paragraph would be an improvement.65.102.39.177 19:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. I have rv'd to the 4th March version. If anyone wishes to write a paragraph on the function of the pharynx in phonation that would be great. However, the rv'd para on pharyngeal consonants is unbalanced; all speech to a greater or lesser extent is produced using the pharynx, and this aspect needs to be addressed properly.Jellytussle 13:13, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Again, agreed. What is with the unnecessary images (For example, "A collection of front view photographs of the head end of some humans shows that each head appears to be well connected to a thorax.") and mass disorganization? I can hardly navigate the page.--138.73.72.113 (talk) 22:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: What Happened to this Article??

message: This article focuses on the human pharynx when many other species have pharynxs as well. It should be diversified. -Ravedave 04:44, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Human v other

message: I have rv'd a long way back to an altogether simpler but more relevant article. There is still a lot wrong with it but it is shorter and better. Recently a vast amount of out of context zoology has been added by one individual, which would be of no interest and would make no sense at all to the majority. Single paras on the comparative anatomy, physiology, embryology and pharynx are relevant, and could link to more suitable pages. A para summarising common pathologies of the human pharynx would also be relevant.
Keep it concise and candid please.Jellytussle (talk) 19:22, 17 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Massive Rv to JDW edit 5.08.08 

message: I'm pretty sure that the oropharynx is wrong in the image, or in the very least imprecise.  Reading an anatomy book here and it says: "The plataoglossal arches marke the boundary between the oropharynx and the oral cavity".  The arrow is dangerously close to pointing at the oral cavity, and is more properly pointing to the palitine tonsil.  Netter also confirms this statement.  See here:

thread_title:  The oropharynx location is incorrect in the image 

message: This page does not display properly on my iPhone is regular mode. The fourth gallery picture overlaps the bottom of the infobox. - Stillwaterising (talk) 18:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Problem with page layout 

message: So there's no article for pharynges in general?  It seems odd to have "pharynx" just redirect to "human pharynx", especially when some articles (like sea cucumber) link to "pharynx", and presumably don't mean human.  (I'm pretty sure sea cucumbers don't have human pharynges.)  I'd Be Bold and start the general "pharynx" article myself, except that (a) I'm no expert in comparative anatomy, and (b) if it's gone this long without having been created, I guess maybe there's a reason for it? ----Smeazel (talk) 12:05, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pharynges of Other Animals 

message: Can anyone make a proper edit of the page that also lists Nasopharyngeal as the music band? They only released one album (Endless) and a collection of Demo tracks. It's not easy to get any information about them but if anyone is savvy enough to scour the internet, any information is appreciated!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alpha23 (talk • contribs) 06:41, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
