Answer:
The pharynx
Explanation:
The pharynx is a tube-like structure that connects the nasal cavity and the back of the mouth to other structures lower in the throat including the larynx. The pharynx has dual functions: both air and food (or other swallowed substances) pass through it, so it is part of both the respiratory and the digestive systems.
