They Live Real on Instagram: "The epiglottis, often called the body’s “invisible guardian,” is a small yet vital flap of tissue that protects your airway every single moment of the day. While you breathe, it stays open to let air flow freely—but the instant you swallow, it swiftly closes to stop food and liquids from entering your windpipe. This tiny structure performs thousands of perfect moves daily, allowing you to breathe, eat, and speak without even noticing its work. But when the epiglotti

When you swallow, this leaf-shaped piece of cartilage folds down to seal the opening of the larynx (voice box), diverting food and liquids into the esophagus and toward the stomach instead.

what if on Instagram: "When you swallow food, it does not enter your windpipe (trachea) because of a small, flap-like structure called the epiglottis. The epiglottis acts as a protective barrier, covering the opening of the windpipe when you eat or drink. As you swallow, muscles in your throat automatically coordinate this action, ensuring that food and liquids are directed into the esophagus, which leads to the stomach. This reflex prevents choking and keeps the airway clear for breathing. Howe

Bio Simplified on Instagram: "Every time you take a bite of food or a sip of water, a tiny leaf-shaped flap in your throat called the epiglottis jumps into action. When you’re breathing, it stays upright, keeping the airway open so air can flow freely into your lungs. The moment you swallow, your voice box lifts and the epiglottis folds down like a protective lid, sealing the entrance to the windpipe. This smart reflex directs food and liquids safely into the esophagus instead of the lungs. Once

Medical | Science | Facts on Instagram: "When we swallow food, a small flap of tissue called the epiglottis automatically closes over the windpipe (trachea). This acts like a protective cover, making sure food and liquids go down the esophagus instead of entering the airway. The process is quick and happens without us even noticing. Only when this flap doesn’t close properly - like during talking, laughing, or swallowing too fast - a little food may “go the wrong way,” causing coughing. . . . #t

BIOLOGY | HEALTH | MEDICAL on Instagram: "The epiglottis is a small, flexible flap of tissue located at the entrance of the windpipe. When you breathe, it stays open to allow air to pass into the lungs. But when you swallow food or water, this flap automatically folds down like a protective shield. This action blocks the trachea and directs everything you swallow into the esophagus instead of the lungs. Without the epiglottis, food could easily enter the airway and cause choking. It’s one of the

Medical | Science | Facts on Instagram: "When we swallow food, it goes into the food pipe (esophagus) instead of the windpipe (trachea). This happens because of a small flap called the epiglottis, which temporarily closes the windpipe while swallowing. It ensures that food passes safely into the stomach and does not enter the airway. That is why food normally never goes into the windpipe while eating. . . . #trendingreels #didyouknow #intresting #medicalfacts #biologyfacts #humanbody #science #d
