Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the anatomy of the pharynx, which is divided into three regions: the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
Recognize that air inhaled through the nose first enters the nasopharynx, which is located behind the nasal cavity.
Next, the air moves into the oropharynx, which is situated behind the oral cavity and serves as a passageway for both air and food.
Finally, the air travels through the laryngopharynx, which is the lower part of the pharynx connecting to the larynx and esophagus.
By following the anatomical pathway, the correct order of air passage through the pharynx is: Nasopharynx, Oropharynx, Laryngopharynx.
