AI overview

The pharynx is the part of your throat located behind your mouth and nose, sitting above the tubes that lead to your stomach and lungs. It serves the important function of directing food down to your stomach and air down to your lungs, with a special flap called the epiglottis preventing food from accidentally entering your airway.
