OpenStudy (abhisar):

`Pharynx` is the hollow tube that is about 5 inches long and starts behind the nose and ends at the top of the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus. The pharynx serves as a vestibule or entryway for the trachea and esophagus. `Larynx` or `Voice box` is a tube shaped organ of the respiratory system which contains vocal chords. See \(\sf \underline{\href{http:///www.medterms.com/script/main/art.asp?articlekey=6224}{this}}\) for more detailed explanation.
