Best Answer

The pharynx, or throat, is shared by both the digestive and respiratory systems. Sometimes, if you laugh or cough while you are trying to swallow, food goes up into your sinus cavities, and may even come out your nose.

What is turning up the nose?

Go look in the mirror - see what you are doing when you turn your nose up? You are putting your face in the air as if you don't want to look at something - or smell it, or taste it. If you turn up your nose at something, you reject it - just as if someone had set something in front of you and you turned your nose up to avoid it.
