👉 The term "pharyngological" refers to the study of the structures and functions of the pharynx, which is a small muscular tube that connects the mouth to the nasopharynx. The pharynx is responsible for swallowing food, producing mucus, and secreting saliva. It also plays a vital role in regulating the movement of air through the respiratory system and facilitating the exchange of gases between the lungs and the bloodstream.
