      3. medial wall: septum
      4. lateral wall: medial orbit, maxillary sinuses,ethmoidal air cells
      5. from nares to the nasopharynx
    2. oral cavity
      1. floor: tongue
      2. roof : hard palate
      3. from lips to the palatoglossal fold

    2. Oropharynx
      1. From the soft palate superiorly to tip of epiglottis inferiorly
      2. Communicates
        Anteriorly with the oral cavity
        Superiorly with the nasopharynx
        Inferiorly with the hypopharynx
    3. Laryngopharynx
