The epiglottis is the small flap of tissue that automatically closes over the windpipe (trachea) when you swallow to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway.
The flap that prevents food from entering your windpipe is called the epiglottis. It is a leaf-shaped structure located at the base of the tongue that closes off the trachea during swallowing to ensure that food goes down the esophagus instead.
The flap over the wind pipe entrance is called the epiglottis.
The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that closes over the trachea when we swallow to prevent food and liquids from entering the airway. Its main function is to direct food and liquids into the esophagus, which leads to the stomach, instead of the trachea, which leads to the lungs.
Typically the "flap" or more commonly called, the deflector is as wide as the plow itself. They tend to be 6 to 8 inches long, and roughly 3/8" thick for most plows. Its purpose to to prevent snow from spilling over the lip of the plow, which keeps it off the vehicles windsheild.
To efficiently fill a 5-gallon jug using a water spout, you can use a larger container to fill the jug quickly, or adjust the water flow to control the filling speed. Make sure the spout is securely positioned over the jug to avoid spills.
Well, honey, technically you can fill a kettle from the spout, but it's not the smartest move. It might be a bit messier and harder to control the water flow. Plus, it could lead to mineral build-up over time. But hey, you do you, just be prepared for a little extra cleaning down the line.
I believe you are thinking about a Water Spout. They are fairly common over Lake Ontario and very impressive looking.
When you swallow, the larynx moves up slightly, and a flap called the epiglottis closes over the trachea.
A tornado is called a waterspout when it passes over a body of water, picking up the water making it look like a spout pouring water.
Do you mean out the fill spout? It is over filled? Otherwise there's a hole in it somewhere and may need replacing. Could a hose be leaking?
The flap of skin that hangs over the mouth of an earthworm is called the prostomium. This structure is located at the anterior end of the worm and serves to help the earthworm sense its environment and aid in the ingestion of organic matter from the soil.
the epiglottis
it is called the epiglottis.. i think that answers your question :P
It's called the epiglottis. Epiglottis, it is referred to as the 'guardian of the airways'.
farmers have genetically altered the original perception of turkeys. the reason for this is that the "flap" of skin is edible for human consumption and apparently tastes very nice so the farmers can get even more money for selling that flap of skin
Nothing. Are you asking about a waterspout? That is another word for a tornado over water. A spout can also be a spigot or funnel through which liquids travel, like a spout on a teapot.
