Answer:

epiglottis

Explanation:

This epiglottis protects the tube to the lungs, arresting entry of food. This valve is partly closed when we swallow food; it deflects food down to the stomach and keeps it out of the trachea or windpipe, which is the route to the lungs. The epiglottis opens more widely when we take a breath, and air enters the lungs
