Answer:

It is the passageway for both food and air

Answer:

The pharynx, or what we know as the "throat," is a  dual duty body part. It has the job of both swallowing/ moving food to the esophagus. It is also the channel that allows air from your nasal/ oral cavities to flow down to your larynx, or voice box.
