I think:

PHarynx - Food
Larynx - Lungs

 

[bryantje]

I think about laryngitis, even though I probably butchered the spelling

From my understanding of all read Bio stuff from AP Bio and two DAT books, the larynx (voice box) includes the windpipes known as trachea, which are located below the pharynx (upper throat). The esophagus is dorsal, or behind, them.

Dude,

If you want to do well on Bio, you gotta stop being so quick to posting basic questions that could be found in an instant. Searching yourself will be the best way to learn things you don't know!
