Epiglottis
The superior opening into the larynx is called the glottis. It is formed by the vocal folds and is responsible for regulating the passage of air into the respiratory system.
The cartilage covering the opening of the larynx is called the epiglottis. It keeps food or liquids from entering the larynx when we swallow.
The larynx is at the superior (or cephalad) end of the trachea and is located just below the epiglottis and glottic opening. The trachea and larynx are connected and are typically in the same plane.

There is a piece of cartilage called the epiglottis which folds over the opening of the larynx as the person is swallowing. This prevents food from going into the windpipe.
