the pharynx
it works with the mouth, ears and nose, as well as a number of other parts of the body. its pharynx is connected to the mouth, allowing speech to occur, and food and liquid to pass down the throat. it is joined to the nose by the nasopharynx at the top of the throat, and to ear by its eustachian tube. the throat's trachea carries inhaled air to the bronchi of the lungs. the esophagus carries food through the throat to the stomach. adenoids and tonsils help prevent infection and are composed of lymph tissue. the larynx contains vocal cords, the epiglottis (preventing food/liquid inhalation), and an area known as the subglottic larynx—the narrowest section of the upper part of the throat. in the larynx, the vocal cords consist of two membranes that act according to the pressure of the air.
