What is the common passage for both air and food?

Answered by admin @



Hii friend,

# Answer- Oropharynx

# Explanation-
- We respire through nose(nasopharynx) and take food from mouth(oral cavity).
- Air, food and liquid all pass through this common passage, the oropharynx. The two passages separate again in the hypopharynx.
- Food and liquid pass backward into the esophagus to go to the stomach. Air passes forward through the larynx and into the trachea to go to lungs.

Thanks for asking...
