The epiglottis is the flap that prevents food and water from entering the trachea.
Pressure There are also one way valves in the circulatory system.
Oxygen oxidizes it and keeps it alive. Prolonged use (weeks at a time) leads to depleted respiratory drive when discontinued.
gravity keeps us in a circle

The sun's gravitational pull keeps the earth in orbit around it.
The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food masses from entering the respiratory system. Additionally, the larynx closes to protect the airway while eating or drinking.

the respiratory system and the digestive system share the Pharynx. The Respiratory system contains the eppiglottis, which keeps food going down the esophogus instead of the trachea
NO! respiratory and digestive are the very essence of what keeps you alive

epiglottis
A closed system is designed to keep additional atoms from entering or exiting. An insulated system prevents heat from entering or exiting.

Because a system is a group of organs and respiratory has organs.
keeps the trachea open when the head is bent or turned
The mucus layer protects the respiratory tract by trapping bacteria and dust, not allowing them to enter the body. Mucus filters the air during inhalation and keeps the tissues from becoming too dry.
