  • Title: Muscle spindles in the velopharyngeal musculature of humans.
    Author: Kuehn DP, Templeton PJ, Maynard JA.
    Journal: J Speech Hear Res; 1990 Sep; 33(3):488-93. PubMed ID: 2146445.
    Abstract:
    Seven muscles in the velopharyngeal region of humans were studied histologically to determine the presence of muscle spindles. Typical spindles were found in palatoglossus and tensor veli palatini with a greater number in the latter. Spindles were not found in levator veli palatini, palatopharyngeus, musculus uvulae, salpingopharyngeus, or the superior pharyngeal constrictor.
