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.
