Is the pharynx apart of the respiratory system?
Short answer: YES, because all air inhaled and exhaled passes through the pharynx/throat.The pharynx (or throat) is divided into 3 parts which are (from superior to inferior) nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx. The first part, the nasopharynx, is specially adapted for respiration. The 2 lower parts are adapted for both respiration and digestion as both air and food pass through them.
What structures does air pass through as it travels to the lungs?
The nose, pharynx, trachea, and bronchi.
What structure carries both food and air?
The pharynx is the back of the throat (divided loosely into nasopharynx and oropharynx) which allows food to enter the oesophagus and air to enter the thrachea.
Is the pharynx distal or proximal to lung?
In terms of the respiratory tract, the pharynx is proximal to the lung. It comes before the lungs as air moves through the respiratory tract.
What is the name of the area in which both food and air passes through?

What structure passes air to the lungs?
Air passes through: 1. Nose or Mouth 2. Nasal cavity 3. Pharynx 4. Larynx 5. Trachea (in throat) 6. Bronchus (in chest) 7. Bronchioles (finer tubes inside lungs) into the alveoli (tiny pockets inside lungs). The o2/co2 exchange occurs in the alveoli where they interface with capillaries. Hope this helps.

What is the main function of the pharynx?
The main function of the pharynx is to provide a passageway for the respiratory and digestive tracts. The pharynx is also referred to as the throat. It houses the tonsils, the uvula, epiglottis and is the entrance way to the esophagus. The pharynx or throat, allows common passageway for air into your lungs and food into your stomach. The pharynx has two roles. The upper part of the pharynx will only allow food to pass through, and the lower part of the pharynx allows air, fluids, and food to pass through.
