question(s) check

OpenStudy (iamstark):

Epiglottis basically prevents the food from entering wind pipe while you swallow.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so would that be B? @IamStark

OpenStudy (iamstark):

Yes.

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

Ok. Epiglottis is a flap present in the tracheal part that regulates the food intake and respiratory gas passage. So if it does not close properly, the person will choke

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so u agree with B? @shreehari499

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

Yeah Of Course!
