The pharynx is primarily composed of three types of tissue: mucosal tissue, connective tissue, and muscular tissue. The mucosal layer, lined with stratified squamous epithelium, protects against abrasion and infection. Underneath, connective tissue provides structural support, while the muscular layer consists of both skeletal and smooth muscle, facilitating the movement of food and air. These tissue types work together to perform the pharynx's functions in the respiratory and digestive systems.
