PhaFIG 6 Muscle cells of the pharynx

PhaFIG 6D: Muscle cells of the pharynx.

The pm4 and pm5 cells are single syncytia with six nuclei total formed through fusion at restricted locations of the otherwise spatially separated trilateral sectors (Harry et al., 2022). (Image source: N2T [MRC] print# 741, 742, 744, 746).
Pharynx 3D is an interactive viewer that allows the user to explore the anatomy of the pharynx in detail by manipulating the pharyngeal structures in three dimensions. Menu options allow for toggling between different views.
