oesophagus and trachea
The pharynx has roles in both the digestive and respiratory systems.
The pharynx is part of the respiratory system and the digestive system.
The esophagus and the larynx are the two channels that originate in the pharynx. The larynx connects to the wind pipe (trachea) and the esophagus connects to the stomach via of the cardiac valve. The epiglottis is a small flap-like structure that protects the larynx (your ability to breathe) when you swallow/eat/drink.
The pharynx is part of two systems, the digestive and the respiratory. It moistens, filters and warms the air taken into the lungs.

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.
