The epiglottis is a flap that acts like a "door" and seals off your airway while you are swallowing food, and then opens to allow you to breathe when you are not swallowing food. When you are eating, make sure that you do not talk, as this interferes with the function of the epiglottis and can cause food to enter your airway.
