Detailed explanation-1: -Nasopharynx: The top part of the throat connects to the nasal cavities (nose) and lets air pass through. Oropharynx: The middle part of the throat connects to the oral cavity (mouth). Laryngopharynx (or hypopharynx): The bottom part of the throat is near the larynx (or voice box). 13-Oct-2021
Detailed explanation-2: -The pharynx is a hollow tube that starts behind the nose, goes down the neck, and ends at the top of the trachea and esophagus. The three parts of the pharynx are the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx.
Detailed explanation-3: -The epiglottis lies between the oropharynx and the laryngopharynx, and it is a flap of elastic cartilage that closes during swallowing to ensure food enters the esophagus rather than the trachea.
