●● Explain what happens to the Epiglottis during swallowing. Why?
Answer: When we swallow the Epiglottis moves to block the entrance of
food particles into our larynx and lungs. The muscles of the Larynx pull
upward to assist with this movement. They tightly close during
swallowing. This prevents food from entering our lungs.
OR
Trachea is closed by the Epiglottis. The Epiglottis moves inferiorly,
covering the trachea. This is to prevent food or liquid from entering the
lungs.
