Question

DEFINE EPIGLOTTIS
DON'T SCAM AND COPY​

Answer 1

Answer:

The epiglottis is a small, movable "lid" just above the larynx that prevents food and drink from entering your windpipe. But if the epiglottis becomes swollen — either from infection or from injury — the airway narrows and may become completely blocked.

Answer 2

The flap that covers the trachea during swallowing, so that food does not enter the lungs.
