What is the flap of elastic cartilage that protects food from entering the Larynx called?
The flap of elastic cartilage that protects food from entering the larynx is called the epiglottis. During swallowing, the epiglottis folds down over the larynx, preventing food and liquids from entering the airway and directing them into the esophagus. This mechanism helps to ensure safe passage of food and prevents choking.

What are the three main divisions of the larynx?
The three main divisions of the larynx are the supraglottis (including the epiglottis and false vocal cords), the glottis (comprising the true vocal cords), and the subglottis (below the vocal cords). Each division plays a vital role in producing sound and protecting the airway during swallowing.
