Significance of the epiglottis and glottis?
The epiglottis is a flap of cartilage that prevents food and liquids from entering the trachea during swallowing by covering the glottis, which is the opening to the airway. The glottis, located at the top of the larynx, helps control airflow into the lungs during breathing and phonation. Both structures play critical roles in protecting the airway and ensuring proper functioning of the respiratory system.
