Advanced Level Discussion concerning the Upper Respiratory Tract's Pharynx, Nasopharynx, and Laryngopharynx



The left diagram above portrays a skeletal view of the anatomy Upper Respiratory tract.  The right diagram above in contrast, portrays a muscular view of the Upper Respiratory Tract.  Explain to me in two hundred words (or less) the locations on the human body of the larynx, nasopharynx,and laryngopharynx in the Upper Respiratory tract and their origins, insertions, and innervations.  In another two hundred words (or less) explain to me what problems occur within the body when they (origins, insertions, and innervations) fail to function properly.  Use one hundred words to respond to another classmate's comments in order to receive full credit for this discussion post activity.

The structures of the Respiratory System that help us to exhale

Please list in order the anatomical structures (of the Respiratory System) which air passes through from the exterior(i.e. exhalation) then, tell me why in your opinion that is important for breathing. You can refer to the diagram above or use your textbook or any other credible source for this post. After you have responded, please respond to another classmate's post for full credit.
