Swallowing and breathing are controlled by different mechanisms in the body, primarily involving the throat and airway. When you swallow, the epiglottis closes over the trachea to prevent food or liquid from entering the lungs, momentarily blocking airflow. This coordination ensures that swallowing and breathing do not occur simultaneously, protecting the airway from aspiration. Therefore, you cannot swallow while breathing because the body prioritizes one function over the other to maintain safety and proper respiratory function.

Why is normal breathing temporarily interupted when you swallow?
Normal breathing is temporarily interrupted during swallowing to prevent food or liquids from entering the airway, which could cause choking. When you swallow, the epiglottis closes over the larynx, directing food down the esophagus and away from the trachea. This reflexive action ensures that the airway is protected while the swallowing process occurs, allowing for a safe transition between breathing and swallowing.
