Adenoid

In anatomy, the pharyngeal tonsil, also known as the nasopharyngeal tonsil or adenoid, is the superior-most of the tonsils. Throat and adenoid are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Adenoid

Blood vessel

Blood vessels are the structures of the circulatory system that transport blood throughout the human body.

See Throat and Blood vessel

Bone

A bone is a rigid organ that constitutes part of the skeleton in most vertebrate animals.

See Throat and Bone

Bronchus

A bronchus (bronchi) is a passage or airway in the lower respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs.

See Throat and Bronchus

Clavicle

The clavicle, collarbone, or keybone is a slender, S-shaped long bone approximately 6 inches (15 cm) long that serves as a strut between the shoulder blade and the sternum (breastbone).

See Throat and Clavicle

Ear

An ear is the organ that enables hearing and (in mammals) body balance using the vestibular system. Throat and ear are human head and neck.

See Throat and Ear

Epiglottis

The epiglottis (epiglottises or epiglottides) is a leaf-shaped flap in the throat that prevents food and water from entering the trachea and the lungs. Throat and epiglottis are human throat.

See Throat and Epiglottis

Esophagus

The esophagus (American English) or oesophagus (British English, see spelling differences; both;: (o)esophagi or (o)esophaguses), colloquially known also as the food pipe, food tube, or gullet, is an organ in vertebrates through which food passes, aided by peristaltic contractions, from the pharynx to the stomach. Throat and esophagus are human head and neck.

See Throat and Esophagus

Eustachian tube

The Eustachian tube, also called the auditory tube or pharyngotympanic tube, is a tube that links the nasopharynx to the middle ear, of which it is also a part. Throat and Eustachian tube are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Eustachian tube

Fauces (throat)

The fauces, isthmus of fauces, or the oropharyngeal isthmus is the opening at the back of the mouth into the throat. Throat and fauces (throat) are human throat.

See Throat and Fauces (throat)

Hyoid bone

The hyoid bone (lingual bone or tongue-bone) is a horseshoe-shaped bone situated in the anterior midline of the neck between the chin and the thyroid cartilage. Throat and hyoid bone are human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Hyoid bone

Jugular vein

The jugular veins are veins that take blood from the head back to the heart via the superior vena cava.

See Throat and Jugular vein

Larynx

The larynx, commonly called the voice box, is an organ in the top of the neck involved in breathing, producing sound and protecting the trachea against food aspiration. Throat and larynx are human head and neck and human throat.

See Throat and Larynx

Lung

The lungs are the central organs of the respiratory system in humans and some other animals, including tetrapods, some snails and a small number of fish.

See Throat and Lung

Mammal

A mammal is a vertebrate animal of the class Mammalia.

See Throat and Mammal

Neck

The neck is the part of the body on many vertebrates that connects the head with the torso. Throat and neck are human head and neck.

See Throat and Neck

Nose

A nose is a protuberance in vertebrates that houses the nostrils, or nares, which receive and expel air for respiration alongside the mouth. Throat and nose are human head and neck.

See Throat and Nose

Pharyngeal muscles

The pharyngeal muscles are a group of muscles that form the pharynx, which is posterior to the oral cavity, determining the shape of its lumen, and affecting its sound properties as the primary resonating cavity.

See Throat and Pharyngeal muscles

Pharynx

The pharynx (pharynges) is the part of the throat behind the mouth and nasal cavity, and above the esophagus and trachea (the tubes going down to the stomach and the lungs respectively). Throat and pharynx are human head and neck, human throat and Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Pharynx

Stomach

The stomach is a muscular, hollow organ in the upper gastrointestinal tract of humans and many other animals, including several invertebrates.

See Throat and Stomach

Streptococcal pharyngitis

Streptococcal pharyngitis, also known as streptococcal sore throat (strep throat), is pharyngitis (an infection of the pharynx, the back of the throat) caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, a gram-positive, group A streptococcus. Throat and streptococcal pharyngitis are human throat.

See Throat and Streptococcal pharyngitis

Tonsil

The tonsils are a set of lymphoid organs facing into the aerodigestive tract, which is known as Waldeyer's tonsillar ring and consists of the adenoid tonsil (or pharyngeal tonsil), two tubal tonsils, two palatine tonsils, and the lingual tonsils. Throat and tonsil are human throat.

See Throat and Tonsil

Tonsil stones

Tonsil stones, also known as tonsilloliths, are mineralizations of debris within the crevices of the tonsils. Throat and tonsil stones are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Tonsil stones

Trachea

The trachea (tracheae or tracheas), also known as the windpipe, is a cartilaginous tube that connects the larynx to the bronchi of the lungs, allowing the passage of air, and so is present in almost all animals with lungs. Throat and trachea are human head and neck.

See Throat and Trachea

Tracheotomy

Tracheotomy, or tracheostomy, is a surgical airway management procedure which consists of making an incision (cut) on the anterior aspect (front) of the neck and opening a direct airway through an incision in the trachea (windpipe). Throat and Tracheotomy are Otorhinolaryngology.

See Throat and Tracheotomy

Uvula

The uvula (uvulas or uvulae), also known as the palatine uvula or staphyle, is a conic projection from the back edge of the middle of the soft palate, composed of connective tissue containing a number of racemose glands, and some muscular fibers. Throat and uvula are human throat.

See Throat and Uvula

Vertebra

Each vertebra (vertebrae) is an irregular bone with a complex structure composed of bone and some hyaline cartilage, that make up the vertebral column or spine, of vertebrates.

See Throat and Vertebra

Vertebrate

Vertebrates are deuterostomal animals with bony or cartilaginous axial endoskeleton — known as the vertebral column, spine or backbone — around and along the spinal cord, including all fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals.

See Throat and Vertebrate

Vocal cords

In humans, the vocal cords, also known as vocal folds, are folds of throat tissues that are key in creating sounds through vocalization. Throat and vocal cords are human head and neck and Otorhinolaryngology.
