air-filled spaces in the head.

part of the lower respiratory system.

Explanation

Both the pharynx and larynx are passageways that air travels through as it moves toward the lungs. The pharynx connects the nose and mouth to the larynx, and the larynx leads toward the trachea. The pharynx is part of the upper respiratory system, so they are not both part of the lower respiratory system.
