Pharynx, ( Greek: âthroatâ) cone-shaped passageway leading from the oral and nasal cavities in the head to the esophagus and larynx. The pharynx chamber serves both respiratory and digestive functions. Thick fibres of muscle and connective tissue attach the pharynx to the base of the skull and surrounding structures.
The pharynx is the section of the throat between the skull and the  esophagus that propels food when swallowed into the esophagus. The  epiglottis at the bottom of the pharyâ¦nx pivots to send food to the  esophagus or air into the lungs by way of the voice box (larynx). 3 people found this useful. Tim Mullican.
