What would happen if the epigolttis did noe cover the trachea?

The throat has two passageways; one for air and one for food. If the epiglottis were to be removed it would cause tremendous problems. The air you breathe would travel to the stomach rather than the lungs; the lungs must have air in order for the body and the brain to survive. Secondly, the food you eat would travel to your lungs rather than to your stomach. This would cause obvious problems such as pneumonia and drowning of the lungs as well as no nourishment for the body and brain as no food would be entering the stomach. The epiglottis serves as a little trap; keeping food, liquids and air from entering places inside the body where they should not be, as well as helping to guide these same things to where they DO belong.
