Pharynx is the meeting place of __________ .

Dear Student, 
Pharynx is the meeting point of digestive and respiratory system. The opening of respiratory system in pharynx is glottis. Glottis is guarded by a cartilaginous flap called epiglottis. It prevents food or liquid from going into respiratory system. It closes during swallowing action. The pharynx keeps food and liquid out of lung.
