Cách sử dụng
The epiglottis is a small flap that hangs down at the back of your throat. It helps to keep food and drinks from going down into your windpipe when you swallow, so they go down into your stomach instead. When you're not swallowing, the epiglottis stays up and out of the way so you can breathe normally. It's an important part of your body that helps you eat, drink, and breathe without any problems. You might use the word "epiglottis" when talking to a doctor or nurse about a problem with swallowing or breathing.
