All attach to the pterygomandibular raphe EXCEPT u2014 which is the EXCEPTION?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: B. Inferior pharyngeal constrictor
The pterygomandibular raphe connects the pterygoid hamulus (superior) to the mylohyoid line (inferior). The buccinator attaches anteriorly; the SUPERIOR pharyngeal constrictor attaches posteriorly. The INFERIOR pharyngeal constrictor attaches to the thyroid cartilage, NOT the raphe.
