common passage for food & air is called ...........​

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is your answer....

The oropharynx....

Explanation:

The oropharynx is the common passage for food and air. Liquid, food and air all pass through this passage.

Initially, even though air enters through the nasal cavity and food, water enters through the oral cavity, the two passages unite at a point to form the structure – oropharynx. Later on, these two passages get separated. That is to say that the water and food enters into the oesophagus and the air proceeds into the trachea.

Answer 2

Answer:

Air, food and liquid all pass through this common passage, the oropharynx. The two passages separate again here, in the hypopharynx. Food and liquid pass backward into the esophagus on their way to the stomach. Air passes forward through the larynx and into the trachea, on its way to the lungs.
