The pharynx is a passageway for both air and food. It is a common pathway for food from the mouth and air from the nose and mouth before they diverge into separate pathways. The trachea is strictly a passageway for air, while the larynx is a passageway for air and leads to the trachea. The bronchus is a passageway for air that enters the lungs, and the esophagus is a passageway for food that leads to the stomach.
