- The more inferior fibers arch distally deep to the middle constrictor muscle.
- The constrictor muscle is supplied by the parasympathetic nervous system, and the dilator by the sympathetic nervous system.
- Pupillary size is controlled by the action of the constrictor and dilator smooth muscles of the iris.
- The tonsillar capsule was dissected away from the underlying superior constrictor muscle with the dissection continued along the anterior tonsillar pillar towards the posterior tonsillar pillar (open book technique).
1. 2.1 Each of the muscles which constrict the pharynx.
