Porción inferior de faringe. <(F.): Hypopharynx: paritie inférieur du pharynx, différente de l´orp`harynx et du rhinopharynx. <(In.): Hypopharynx: is the portion of the pharynx that lies inferior to the tip of epiglottis. The posterior and lateral walls are formed by middle and inferior pharyngeal constrictors. It extends inferiorly to the cricopharyngeus, where the pharynx empties into the cervical esophagus. Anteriorly, it extends from the valleculae and contains the epiglottis and the larynx. Lateral to the larynx are the pyriform sinuses, two mucosal pouches whose medial borders are the lateral walls of the larynx. The posterior aspect of the hypopharynx contains the posterior pharyngeal wall and post cricoid mucosa.
