It is not the single tube. From the throat you have a single tube that goes down. Then it divides into two branches. Each divide into about ten branches. Then starts the real division. Each of the ten branches divide into two, into two, into two. Like wise they divide about 17 times. Then you have the alveoli. It's pleural of the alveolus. These thin sacs continue to divide 6 more times. That gives you the surface area of about 1000 square feet. This is all like the branching of the big tree and the leaves.

The pharynx connects the nasal cavity, the oral cavity and the throat. The pharyx is the part of your "throat" that lies posterior to (behind) your nasal cavity (nasopharynx) and oral cavity (oropharynx) and extends down to your larynx (laryngopharynx).

This tube is called the esophagus. It doesn't have much of a role in digestion but it is more or less like a delivery tube.
