Question

Swallowing of food hurriedly or laughing while swallowing causes violent coughing. What is the reason?

Answer 1

Answer:

it is bcz we have a common organ which prevent food from going into lungs

Explanation:

when we swallow food the pharynx present closes the path of windpipe and open the path of food pipe for the food to go to the stomach. when we laugh while swallowing the food, the pharynx tends to open the windpipe instead of the food pipe, thus the food goes into the lungs which may lead to coughing, suffocation and even death.

Answer 2

As it enters wind pipe which has to be removed. Or else can cause choking ( epiglottis prevents this ) pls mark me as brainliest !!
