用法筆記

Pharynges is the standard Greek-derived plural of pharynx (cf. larynx → larynges, meninx → meninges). The alternative form pharynxes is rare in formal medical writing. Each human has one pharynx; pharynges therefore refers to the pharynx of multiple individuals or the homologous structures across different species, never to multiple pharynxes within a single person. Pronunciation: IPA /fəˈrɪn.dʒiːz/.
