-in [vertebrate anatomy], the throat is the [anterior part] of the [neck], positioned in front of the [vertebra]-
.
(it contains the ‘pharynx’ + ‘larynx’)
.
(an important section of it is the ‘epiglottis’, which is a flap separating the ‘esophagus’ from the ‘trachea’ (windpipe) preventing food and drink being inhaled into the lungs)
(the ‘throat’ contains various ‘blood vessels’, ‘pharyngeal muscles’, the ‘nasopharyngeal tonsil’, the ‘tonsils’, the ‘palatine uvula’, the ‘trachea’, the ‘esophagus’, and the ‘vocal cords’)
(mammal ‘throats’ consist of two bones, the ‘hyoid bone’ and the ‘clavicle’)
(the “throat” is sometimes thought to be synonymous for the ‘isthmus’ of the ‘fauces’)
(it works with the ‘mouth’, ‘ears’, and ‘nose’, as well as a number of other parts of the body)
(its ‘pharynx’ is connected to the ‘mouth’, allowing speech to occur, and food and liquid to pass down the throat)
(it is joined to the ‘nose’ by the ‘nasopharynx’ at the top of the throat, and to ‘ear’ by its ‘eustachian tube’)
(the throat’s ‘trachea’ carries inhaled air to the ‘bronchi’ of the ‘lungs’)
(the ‘esophagus’ carries food through the throat to the ‘stomach’)
(‘adenoids’ and ‘tonsils’ help prevent infection and are composed of ‘lymph tissue’)
(the ‘larynx’ contains ‘vocal chords’, the ‘epiglottis’ (preventing food/liquid inhalation), and an area known as the ‘subglottic larynx’—the narrowest section of the upper part of the throat)
(in the ‘larynx’, the ‘vocal cords’ consist of two membranes that act according to the pressure of the air)
(the jugulum is a low part of the throat, located slightly above the breast)
.
(the term jugulum is reflected both by the internal + external ‘jugular veins’, which pass through the “jugulum”)
