- Photo title: The position of the epiglottis during breathing and swallowing
- Author: Aldonagriskeviciene
- Cover photo description:
- The epiglottis is a leaf-shaped flap in the throat that prevents food and water from entering the trachea and lungs. During breathing, it remains open, allowing air to enter the larynx. During swallowing, it closes to prevent food from entering the lungs, and swallowed liquids or food instead go down the esophagus to the stomach. Thus, the valve directs the passage to the trachea or esophagus
