Template:Add referencesScript error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherScript error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters". The pharyngeal raphe is a raphe that serves as the posterior attachment for several of the pharyngeal constrictors (thyropharyngeal part of the inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle, middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle, superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle).[1][2] Two sides of the pharyngeal wall are joined posteriorly in the midline by the raphe. Superiorly, it attaches to the pharyngeal tubercle; inferiorly, it extends to the level of vertebra C6 where it blends with the posterior wall of the esophagus.
