The tongue moves a mass of food to the back of the mouth, where it enters the pharynx, which connects the nasal cavity to the top of the esophagus.
Choose the correct terms to complete each of the following sentences about digestive processes that occur in the mouth.
The esophagus is a long tube in the GI tract that connects the throat with the stomach. The pharynx is the region that is located at the back of the mouth.
