The pharynx, most commonly known as the throat, serves duel purposes. Not only does it move the air into your lungs, but it also moves food into your stomach. About five inches long, the pharynx is separated into three distinct regions, chosen by location and function: the nasopharynx, the oropharynx, and the laryngopharynx
