O: lower part of stylohyoid ligament; lesser and greater cornu of hyoid bone
I: pharyngeal raphe
NS: pharyngeal plexus
A: propels bolus downward
Middle constrictor
O: lamina of thyroid cartilage; cricoid cartilage

I:
NS:
A: sphincter at lower end of pharynx
Cricopharyngeus
O: styloid process of temporal bone
I: posterior border of thyroid cartilage
NS: glossopharyngeal nerve
A: elevates larynx during swallowing
Stylopharyngeus
O: auditory tube
I: blends with palatopharyngeus
NS: pharyngeal plexus
A: elevates pharynx
Salpingopharyngeus
O: palatine aponeurosis
I: post border of thyroid cartilage
NS: pharyngeal plexus
A: elevates wall of pharynx, pulls palatopharyngeal folds medially
Palatopharyngeus
