1. Mucous membrane It lines the pharyngeal cavity and is continuous with mucous membrane of eustachian tube, nasal cavity, mouth, larynx and oesophagus. The epithelium is ciliated columnar in nasopharynx and stratified squamous elsewhere

3. Muscular coat It consist of two layers of muscles with three muscles in each layer 1. External layer: contains superior, middle and inferior constrictor muscles. 2. Internal layer: contains stylopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus and palatoparyngeus muscles
