The length of pharynx is 14 cm.
The pharynx extends vertically from the bottom of the skull right up to where it touches the upper esophageal sphincter. It is divided into three portions – nasopharynx (from the bottom of the skull to the soft palate), oropharynx (from the soft palate to the pharyngoepiglottic fold) and the hypopharynx (from the pharyngoepiglottic fold to the upper esophageal sphincter).
The pharynx is also known as the throat, and is a part of the respiratory and digestive systems.
