The esophagus is only a conducting tube between the pharynx and the stomach and has no digestive function.
nothing u cud ever imagine
The pharynx is part of the digestive system and respiratory system of many organisms. Because both food and air pass through the pharynx, a flap of connective tissue called the epiglottis closes over the trachea when food is swallowed to prevent choking or aspiration. In humans the pharynx is important in vocalization. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_pharynx
The pharynx (or throat) is leads directly to the larynx inferiorly and the nasal cavity superiorly.The first part of the pharynx (nasopharynx) touches the soft palate.The second part of the pharynx (oropharynx) touches the palatine tonsil.The final part of the pharynx (laryngopharynx) touches the oesophagus.
no, it is part of both the respiratory and digestive system, it is the passage through which both air and food pass before separating into the esophagus for food or the trachea for air
The esophagus is only a conducting tube between the pharynx and the stomach and has no digestive function.
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. The pharynx has two roles. The upper part of the pharynx will only allow food to pass through, and the lower part of the pharynx allows air, fluids, and food to pass through.
Pharynx
The pharynx is the part of the throat through which both air and food pass, this means that is it part of both the respiratory and digestive system.
The pharynx is common to both the respiratory pathway ( pharynx -> larnyx -> trachea -> pulmonary bronchi ) and the digestive pathway ( pharynx -> esophogus->stomach).
The hypo pharynx is an important part of the feeding system in grasshoppers. This is a tongue like organ that is used to capture food.

pharynx is an integral part of our digestive sytem.it allows the bolus of food we ingest to be swallowed and thus moved to the stomach for further processing.

The pharynx is the section of the throat between the skull and the esophagus that propels food when swallowed into the esophagus. The epiglottis at the bottom of the pharynx pivots to send food to the esophagus or air into the lungs by way of the voice box (larynx).
Yes, the pharynx is part of both the respiratory and digestive systems.
