The epiglottis opens to direct air into the respiratory pathway.
it is called the throat
Throat is the common pathway for the respiratory and digestive tract. Both cross the tract on the way through throat. It support the ear via Eustachian tube.
The respiratory structure that allows speech is the vocal cord which is located in the throat. Exhaled air that runs over the vocal cords is what will result into speech.
The conduit that serves both the respiratory and digestive systems is the pharynx. It is a shared pathway where food and air pass through, with air traveling to the lungs and food passing into the esophagus for digestion.
Otorhinolaryngology. Oto = ear Rhino = nose And then the last part, "laryngology", refers to the throat and "study of" everything mentioned before. Larynx = throat. The suffix "logy" is the "study of." Specialty in this is sometimes called ENT (ear, nose, and throat).
No, the nose and throat are the upper respiratory system; they are above the lungs (when you are standing up).
Pharynx
The passage through which food and air both pass through is called the pharynx. It is a common pathway in the throat where the digestive and respiratory systems intersect. From the pharynx, food goes to the esophagus for digestion, while air continues to the trachea for respiration.

Upper Respiratory Infection
Yes, the ENT (ear, nose, and throat) system shares structures with both the gastrointestinal and respiratory systems. The throat, for example, is a shared structure as it is part of both the respiratory and digestive tracts. The nasal cavity also plays a role in both the respiratory and ENT systems, as it is involved in both breathing and olfaction.
