Epipharyngeal

/ˌɛpɪfəˈrɪndʒiəl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or located in the nasopharynx, the upper part of the pharynx (throat) behind the nose.

Etymology

From epi- (upon) + pharyngeal (relating to the pharynx), from Greek pharynx (throat). This anatomical term specifically describes the region at or near the nasopharynx.

Kelly Says

Your epipharyngeal region is that hidden space deep in your throat behind your nose—it's where your adenoids hang out and where sound resonates when you speak!
