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".
What else can I help you with?

What branches off of laryngopharynx?
The laryngopharynx branches off into two passageways: the esophagus, which leads to the stomach, and the trachea, which leads to the lungs.
How many cavities in the pharynx?

Connects the laryngopharynx with the trachea?
larynx
What is the function of stratified squamous epithelium that lines the oropharynx and laryngopharynx?
The function of the stratified squamous epithelium lining the oropharynx and laryngopharynx is to protect the underlying tissues from abrasion, chemical damage, and microbial invasion due to the constant exposure to food and fluids passing through these regions during swallowing. This type of epithelium is well adapted to withstand mechanical stress and provides a barrier to pathogens.
What region does the esophagus and trachea diverge?
the laryngopharynx
What is continuous with the esophagus?
The laryngopharynx is continuous with the esophagus.
The first division of the pharynx?
nasopharynx, oropharynx and laryngopharynx
What tonsils are located in the laryngopharynx?
Pharyngeal tonsils are located in the pharynx ( the throat.)
What region of the pharynx closest to the larynx?
