Answer:

the passage from the mouth to the larynx or esophagus, in humans is called the c. pharynx

Step-by-step explanation:

The pharynx is part of the digestive system and communicates the mouth with the larynx or esophagus. It is a conduit of muscular and membranous walls.

It is located inside the neck, it begins behind the nose and ends at the top of the trachea and esophagus.

It leads the air to the larynx and food to the esophagus
