The palatopharyngeal arch (pharyngopalatine arch posterior pillar of fauces) is larger and projects farther toward the middle line than the Palatoglossal arch; it runs downward lateralward and backward to the side of the pharynx and is formed by the projection of the Pharyngopalatinus covered by mucous membrane.
