The Oropharynx is the middle portion of the pharynx, its main function is to act as a common passageway for air, food, and drink.
The main job of the oropharynx is to help you swallow. It has sensitive nerves that trigger the swallowing response so that the food goes into the esophagus and not the wind pipe.
