When water goes down the wrong tube and you begin to cough which digestive structure has temporarily malfunctioned?
When water goes down the wrong tube (trachea) instead of the esophagus, the malfunction occurs with the epiglottis. The epiglottis is a flap that normally covers the trachea when swallowing to prevent food or liquid from entering the airway. If it doesn't close properly, aspiration can occur.
Which is an example of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintained a stable environment?
Some examples of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintains a stable environments are that: - It prevents minerals in the water from flowing into the cell. - It prevents salt from flowing in.
Passageway for food that is behind the trachea?
The passageway for food that is behind the trachea is the esophagus. After swallowing, food travels down the esophagus to reach the stomach for digestion, while air goes down the trachea to enter the lungs for respiration.
What does the esophagus and epiglottis do?
Once you push food to the back of your through to swallow it, the esophagus pushes it down to your stomach. As food goes from your mouth to your esophagus, it passes over top of the epiglottis, which shuts like a lid to keep stuff from falling down your trachea (windpipe).
The flap of tissue that closes when you swallow to protect you from choking?
It is called the Epiglottis. If you talk while eating, your epiglottis and your esophagus are open, so instead of going down the esophagus, it goes down the epiglottis. Have you ever heard someone say 'It went down the wrong tube' when you choke? This is what they mean.

What tube in your throat is used for swallowing?
The tube in your throat used for swallowing is called the esophagus. It is a muscular tube that connects the throat (pharynx) to the stomach, allowing food and liquids to pass from the mouth to the digestive system. When you swallow, the muscles in the esophagus contract in a coordinated manner to push the food down toward the stomach.
How do you insert a stomach tube in cattle?
You would have to go down through the mouth down through the esophagus into the rumen. Your local vet may have a pair of mouth gags for you to use so you don't have to struggle with the animal biting down on the tubing; with calves this mouth gag won't be necessary. You'll know if you've when down the wrong pipe if the cattlebeast starts hacking and coughing. If it's doing that, then bring the tubing up again and put it down again; if the animal is swallowing the tube (swallowing reflex will be going like crazy when your putting the tube down the esophagus), this is a good sign. When you think you have the tube down far enough (about 2 feet worth), start pouring down the liquids that you need the animal to consume. When you're done, pull the tube up very slowly so that you don't damage the esophageal membrane and other tissues in the cow's neck and mouth.

Why is it necessary ti break down red hot ignition tube in distilled water?
Breaking down a red-hot ignition tube in distilled water helps to rapidly cool down the tube and prevent damage. The sudden cooling prevents the tube from becoming brittle or developing stress cracks due to thermal shock. It also helps to ensure the safety of the user by avoiding accidental burns from handling a hot tube.
Is it possible to swallow while upside down?
Yes. It's slightly more difficult because you're working against gravity, though. The oesophagus is a tube-like organ, and the act of swallowing squeezes the food through the tube to down to the stomach, or sideways, or up as the case may be.
Which is an example of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintained a stable environment?
Some examples of how the cell membrane of a tube worm maintains a stable environments are that: - It prevents minerals in the water from flowing into the cell. - It prevents salt from flowing in.
What happens to the muscles in the oesophagus as you swallow?
