👉 In medicine, "superciliary" refers to the region of the upper respiratory tract where the pharynx meets the larynx. This area is crucial for the proper functioning of the vocal cords and the airways that connect them with the lungs. It can be affected by various conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), or certain types of allergies. Understanding this region's anatomy and function is important in diagnosing and treating respiratory issues.
