The epiglottis is the flap of tissue that covers the trachea during swallowing to prevent food and liquid from entering the airway. It acts as a protective barrier, ensuring that these substances are directed towards the esophagus instead of the lungs.

The sensation of your throat shrinking when you eat could be caused by anxiety or stress, a condition called globus sensation, or muscle spasms in the throat. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux, allergies, or a narrowing of the esophagus. If this sensation persists or is accompanied by other symptoms, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation.

Dental treatment consists of various deliveries of dental care such as preventive, restorative, endodontic, periodontal, orthodontic, oral surgery and also esthetic treatments.

Preventive treatment is is when you have your teeth cleaned to prevent gum disease. Also sealants on children's teeth and fluoride treatments are considered preventive.

Restorative treatments are fillings, crowns, and any dental treatment that restores a tooth or several teeth to a healthy and viable condition.

Endodontic treatment is when a tooth has a root canal. This consists of removing the pulp (nerve) of the tooth in order to rid the tooth of infection.

Orthodontic treatment is the movement and alignment of teeth. This is achieved by wearing braces to correct the bite.

Periodontal treatment is the correction of unhealthy gum tissue through several methods such as deep scaling, surgical procedures and many time prescription medications.

Esthetic treatments are like bleaching and bonding to make the appearance of the teeth nicer.

Oral surgery procedures are generally the removal (extraction) of teeth, and also consists of biopsies of suspicious and possibly pathological lesions.

When swallowing, the epiglottis closes off the trachea to direct food down the esophagus.

Anything that breathes has a trachea.

The trachea is supported by tough rings made of cartilage. Occasionally, the trachea will lose its rigidity and collapse while the dog is breathing. For unknown reasons, the cartilage rings weaken and the trachea no longer has proper support. The collapsing trachea syndrome is most often seen in toy breeds, especially Toy Poodles over the age of five.

Cigarette smoke irritates cells in the bronchi and this irritation triggers special cells to produce a layer of mucus designed to trap the foreign particles irritating the cells. This layer of mucus is then suppose to be swept away by the Cilia, though the tar found in cigarette smoke slows the action of the cilia. This tar accumulates in the mucus layer, because the cilia are not able to respond due to the presence of this tar. In conclusion, the mucus layer will gradually grow over time because the cilia will not be able to sweep away the accumulated foreign particles.

I am not medically trained but as a tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea) into which the surgeon inserts a tube to allow air to get to the lungs, I would have thought that the risk of water entering this tube (and therefore the lungs) while swimming would be high. I would therefore think that swimming would not be encouraged while the tube was in place.

However once the tube is removed and the wound has healed I would have thought that it may be possible to swim again (on medical advice).

no

yes

because it makes from tissue.

I really dont know but if you can help please it's for the star test

The larynx (voicebox) is responsible for speech in humans, due to vibrations from exhaled air.

In Gaucher disease, the specific type of lipid that accumulates is called a glucosylceramide. Deficient activity of an enzyme called beta-glucosidase results in glucosylceramide accumulation throughout the body and damage to normal tissues and organs.

nose to throat to trachea to bonchi to bronchioles to alvelus.

The throat is part of the vocal tract used in the production in speech.

the bronchi

a open type it is also a cold blooded animal it system is 5 chambered nd help it to circulation in blood.

The trachea is a structure present in the throat of all animals. The adaptation of the trachea is to pass food into the stomach using specialized muscle contractions.

The trachea is the formal name of what is commonly called the windpipe. It functions as the pathway through which air is inhaled and exhaled to and from the lungs.

No. The Trachea is located in the Thoracic cavity.

No you can't. Not with invasive ventilation tubes.

Seasonal Affective Disorder

In adults the narrowest part of the airway is at the level of the vocal chords, in kids it is just below the vocal chords. So when a child chokes it may be more difficult to get the object out. If it is a complete obstruction, no coughing or air moving, then the Heimlich should be started immediately. Continue until the person loses conciousness of the object is removed. If the patient passes out begin CPR. If there is coughing or air moving that makes it a partial obstruction and the person should get emergency care ASAP. Do not try to remove the object as this could cause it to lodge further in the trachea.

Food normally goes in your throat when you swallow. A coordinated swallow reflex, controlled partially by the tongue, helps you control the timing of swallowing.

the cartilage is important because it open trachea all the time.
