Answer 1

Answer:

Also called the throat, your pharynx is the part of the digestive tract that gets the food from your mouth. Branching off the pharynx is the esophagus, which carries food to your stomach, and your trachea or windpipe, which carries air to your lungs.

The pharynx, commonly called the throat, is a passageway that extends from the base of the skull to the level of the sixth cervical vertebra. It serves both the respiratory and digestive systems by receiving air from the nasal cavity and air, food, and water from the oral cavity.
