Momo's pharynx, a muscular tube about 12 to 14 centimeters long, acts as a vital anatomical crossroads, as it is part of both the digestive and respiratory systems. It connects the mouth and nasal passages to the esophagus and larynx, respectively. It allows air to pass to the larynx and lungs, and food and liquids to pass to the esophagus.
In this episode, we focus on what happens internally when swallowing food, specifically how the path to the lungs closes so that food can continue its journey to the esophagus.
In the next episode, we will focus on the larynx and vocal cords.
