what is the function of the epiglottis?

Sagot :

my answer is a flap of cartilage at the root of the tongue, which is depressed during swallowing to cover the opening of the windpipe."It is particularly important to understand the relationship of the following structures: the epiglottis , arytenoid cartilage, aryepiglottic folds, and cricoid cartilage.", close the larynx when eating,chewing a food

the epiglottis is part of the respiratory system I think, it closes when you are swallowing food so that it doesn't go to the lungs
