The oropharynx is around 1.3 cm below your nasopharynx. It connects your mouth to your throat to allow breathing. And because I'm smarter than you, I'll add the fact that when you swallow food, your throat mashes food up even MORE before hitting the stomach.
The oropharynx is located at the back of the mouth, specifically behind the oral cavity and above the laryngopharynx. It plays a role in both the respiratory and digestive systems as a passageway for air and food.
