Illustration of a sleeping woman exhibiting obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), with the oropharynx visible in cross section. OSA involves repetitive partial or complete pharyngeal collapse while sleeping, resulting in either apnea or hypopnea. In the section we can see the soft palette and the posterior portion of the tongue occluding the airway (indicated with blue). | |
