The pharynx is the portion of the digestive system posterior to the nasal cavity, oral cavity, and larynx.
The oral cavity is bounded by the teeth, tongue, hard palate, and soft palate. These structures make up the mouth and play a key role in the first step of digestion: ingestion.
The pharynx is a muscular column that begins in the head posterior to the nasal cavity, travels inferiorly behind the oral cavity before finally merging with the larynx and esophagus. Parts of the pharynx labeled. Notice how the nasopharynx connects the oral and nasal cavities, allowing a person...
Functions of the Pharynx What is its role in the digestive system? The muscular walls of the pharynx function as a pathway that moves food from the oral cavity into the esophagus to facilitate swallowing. Its role in the respiratory system is to allow air to move from the nasal and oral ...
