the larynx
The larynx, commonly known as the voice box, is the part of the respiratory system that routes air and food into their proper channels. It serves as a passageway for air to enter the trachea while preventing food and liquids from entering the airway during swallowing. Additionally, the larynx contains vocal cords that vibrate to produce sound, playing a crucial role in speech.
The epiglottis is the structure that routes air and food into their proper channels. It closes off the trachea during swallowing to prevent food from entering the airway. It also helps in speech production by controlling the flow of air through the vocal cords.
The larynx, or voice box, is responsible for directing air into the trachea for breathing and food into the esophagus for digestion. It contains the vocal cords, which vibrate to produce sound for speech.
There is small flap called as epiglottis. It closes the airway, as you swallow something. At other times it keeps the air way open. So that you should be able to breathe continuously.

The larynx has three functions. # It maintains an open airway # It acts as a switching mechanism to route air and food down the proper channels # Voice production (as it contains the vocal cords)

The Epiglottis
When compressors are located in the equipment room, the piping is typically routed to various components such as air dryers, filters, and distribution systems that deliver compressed air to different areas of a facility. This routing ensures that the compressed air is treated and regulated before being supplied to tools and machinery. Proper piping design is crucial for maintaining efficiency and minimizing pressure drops throughout the system.
No, the air channels are the same size, it is the reeds which are in different sizes.
1) provides a patent (open) airway. 2) acts as a switching mechanism to route air/food to the proper channels. 3) voice production
