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 respiratory system consists of the nose, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchial tree, and the lungs. Its primary function is the basic exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It filters the air that enters the body and exchanges gases within air sacs in the lungs called alveoli.
