Question

name the part of the alimentary canal which prevents the entry of food into the wind pipe​

Answer 1

The pharynx is a passageway for food and air. A soft flap of tissue called the epiglottis (ep-ih-GLAH-tus) closes over the windpipe when we swallow to prevent choking. From the throat, food travels down a muscular tube in the chest called the esophagus (ih-SAH-fuh-gus).
