Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The pharynx, commonly called the throat, is a passageway that extends from the base of the skull to the level of the sixth cervical vertebra. It serves both the respiratory and digestive systems by receiving air from the nasal cavity and air, food, and water from the oral cavity.
Detailed explanation-2: -Oropharynx: Food and air pass through the oropharynx together. This channel is used for food, drink, and air. Even though air enters through the nasal cavity and food, and water enters through the oral cavity, the two passages unite at a point to form the structure – the oropharynx.
