Pharynx membrane

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
15 day old human embryo: The pharynx membrane is called the buccopharyngeal membrane .

The pharynx membrane ( membrana stomatopharyngealis ) is a delicate partition between the oral cavity and foregut in the early embryonic development of vertebrates . It consists only of the ectoderm and endoderm , so it has no mesodermal intermediate layer . In the human embryo, it tears as early as the end of the 3rd week, creating the connection between the oral cavity and the rest of the digestive system.
