Uberon definition : The pharyngeal aponeurosis (or pharyngobasilar fascia, or fibrous coat), is situated
between the mucous and muscular layers. It is thick above where the muscular fibers
are wanting, and is firmly connected to the basilar portion of the occipital and the
petrous portions of the temporal bones. As it descends it diminishes in thickness,
and is gradually lost. It is strengthened posteriorly by a strong fibrous band, which
is attached above to the pharyngeal spine on the under surface of the basilar portion
of the occipital bone, and passes downward, forming a median raphe, which gives attachment
to the Constrictores pharyngis.;
