Abstract
Presented are the anatomy of the normal velopharyngeal mechanism, the physiologic aspects of normal velopharyngeal function, & an introduction to the consequences of palatal clefting & its repair on the form & function of the velopharyngeal valve. Musculature described includes the levator veli palatini, the tensor veli palatini, the musculus uvulae, the palatoglossus, the palatopharyngeus, the superior pharyngeal constrictor, the salpingopharyngeus, & the velum. Motor innervation & sensory feedback mechanisms of the velopharyngeal musculature are explained. Physiology of the velopharyngeal mechanism is addressed in terms of velopharyngeal movement patterns & aspects of velopharyngeal control & coordination. 1 Figure, 92 References. D. Taylor
