It has both respiratory and digestive functions, serving as a common passageway for air, food and drink.

The mouth leads into the oropharynx. The mucous lining the walls of the oropharynx change slightly to adapt for handling food as well as air. It is here that the two tonsils are located. One is at the entrance from the mouth into the oropharynx, and the other is somewhat deeper.
