The systemic arrangement of the trachea, esophagus, larynx, and epiglottis help to prevent the entry of food into the respiratory tract by blocking the windpipe with the help of esophagus. The epiglottis covers the tracheal opening to prevent the food entry into the larynx while eating food. The epiglottis allows the passage of air through the tracheal opening during breathing.
