Question

how is the food prevented from entering the wind pipe​

Answer 1

Epiglottis prevented food from entering the wind pipe.

Answer 2

Heya mate:)

Epiglottis - large , leaf-shaped piece of cartilage lying on top of larynx; during swallowing the larynx elevates, causing the epiglottis to fall on the glottis (opening into larynx) like a lid, closing it off - this prevents food from entering the windpipe (trachea).

Hope this helps you:)
