Accepted Answer

The trachea and esophagus both connect to the pharynx, which is a common pathway for air and food. The pharynx then splits into two separate pathways, with the esophagus leading to the stomach and the trachea leading to the lungs. The large intestine, rectum, and epiglottis are not connected to either the trachea or esophagus.
