The back of the throat, also known as the oropharynx, is the part of the throat located behind the mouth. It includes structures such as the tonsils, uvula, and the base of the tongue, and plays a crucial role in both the respiratory and digestive systems. This area is involved in swallowing, helping to direct food to the esophagus while also allowing air to pass to the larynx and lungs. Infections or conditions affecting the back of the throat can lead to issues such as sore throats or difficulty swallowing.
