The aorta is a major artery off the heart, the diaphysis is part of a long bone, the pulmonary artery is an artery that carries blood away from the heart and the parynx is another name for the "voice box". It is also called the "Adam's Apple" as it is larger in males. SO this is part of the respiratory tract that carries air in and out of the lungs.
