BREAST-FEEDING, DRAWING
Anatomy of the upper respiratory system in a baby. This profile cutaway view highlighting the peculiar position of the tongue of the infant compared to the nipple during breast-feeding, as well as the one of its highly placed pharynx allowing the transit of the milk on the sides of the trachea opening (which avoids false routes). This image is part of a series comparing the anatomy of the pharynx of the infant and the adult. See. Images 0288407 for the position of the adult pharynx, 0289407 for the anatomy of the infant pharynx, 0289307 for the anatomy of the adult pharynx.
