Oropharynx

The oropharynx is the middle part of the throat (pharynx) that lies behind the mouth, extending from the uvula to the level of the hyoid bone, and includes the back third of the tongue, the soft palate, and the tonsils.

Nasopharynx

The upper part of the throat located behind the nose, forming a passage for airflow from the nasal cavity to the larynx and esophagus.

Laryngopharynx

The part of the pharynx that lies inferior to the epiglottis and extends to the location where the esophagus and trachea diverge.

Oral Cavity

The mouth, an opening in the body where food intake occurs, beginning the process of digestion and housing many taste buds.
