1 -- The eustachian tubes also open into the nasopharynx, and connect it with the middle ear. This is the opening from the nasal passages to the back of the throat. The oropharynx is the mouth to throat location. Nares are the openings that enter the nose. The laryngopharynx is the area from the back of the throat to the deeper part of the throat.
