Question

What happens if food enters to trachia

Answer 1

Answer:

Your swallowing reflex is triggered as your tongue pushes the food to the back of your throat. During this phase, your windpipe closes tightly and your breathing stops. This prevents food from going down the wrong pipe. The food enters your esophagus and travels down into your stomach.
