Yes, at the start of the laryngopharynx the airway branches off from the esophagus and becomes the Larynx (voicebox) and at the larynx (at about C5 vertibra) commences the trachea
Esophagus is located on the back side of the trachea in your thorax.
The Larynx is anatomically slightly anterior, or in front of, the esophagus. Larynx ( also called as VOICE BOX ) is anterior to esophagus.
The esophagus is right behind the trachea, in line with it. In anatomical terms, both are located medially; neither is lateral to the other. The esophagus is dorsal or posterior to the trachea. The trachea is anterior or ventral to the esophagus.
The esophagus and trachea open into the throat and mouth.
Having no cartilage between the trachea and esophagus allows the trachea to collapse slightly during swallowing, making it easier for the esophagus to expand. This helps prevent food from entering the trachea and ensures that we can breathe and swallow properly.

The laryngopharynx
Yes, the laryngopharynx is a common passage for both food and air. It serves as the transition point where the respiratory and digestive systems intersect, allowing for the passage of air to the trachea and food to the esophagus.
The laryngopharynx branches off into two passageways: the esophagus, which leads to the stomach, and the trachea, which leads to the lungs.
The laryngopharynx, which is the third division, is also shared by both the respiratory and digestive system. Air, food, and fluids continue downward to the opening of the esophagus and trachea where air enters the trachea and food and fluids flow into the esophagus. Sorry I just had to correct what the person before left...their answer was "hi".
The third division of the pharynx is the hypopharynx, also known as the laryngopharynx. It is located below the oropharynx and serves as a passage for both air and food. The hypopharynx connects the larynx to the esophagus.
larynx
The trachea is in front of the esophagus. The trachea is for breathing while the esophagus is for delivering food to the stomach.
The esophagus is right behind the trachea, in line with it. In anatomical terms, both are located medially; neither is lateral to the other. The esophagus is dorsal or posterior to the trachea. The trachea is anterior or ventral to the esophagus. United Nations Farms
In a pig, the trachea is located on the ventral side, while the esophagus is positioned dorsal to the trachea. The esophagus runs behind the trachea and is responsible for transporting food from the mouth to the stomach. Thus, the esophagus is dorsal relative to the trachea.
The throat contains the esophagus and the trachea. The esophagus is for food and the trachea is for air.
The trachea is right in front and runs parallel with the esophagus.
