Question

Which prevents the food from rising up

Answer 1

The lower esophagus prevents the food from rising up.

Explanation:

• The lower esophagus has a bundle of muscles which stop the food to move back up once it is swallowed.

• The epiglottis prevents the food to enter back into the mouth once it has been swallowed from the mouth.

• The epiglottis also ensures that the food does not enter the lungs or the wind pipe.

• In this way, the food is sent in the right direction into the digestive system.
