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 main difference between the esophagus and trachea their function. The trachea is used for breathing, it carries your breath from the nose/mouth to the lungs. The esophagus is used to transport food and liquids from the mouth to the stomach.
