What is the function of the planarian’s pharynx?
If this is the pharynx that is in the throat then the function of it is to make you cough when you have to. There are conditions that hit the pharynx such as pharyngitis which makes you cough and run a high fever. It is very contagious and sometimes you have to be quarantined along with the ones that you have come in close contact with. I remember when my ex had it and they had to quarantine the whole building where we lived as several people including myself had it. I hope that this answers your question.
