Imagine that you are dining with your friend in a hotel. Suddenly your friend starts coughing while swallowing food. This coughing is attributed to the improper movement of...
Show Hint
- Epiglottis
- Ribs
- Palate
- Diaphragm
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
When food is swallowed, it needs to pass through the esophagus into the stomach. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that prevents food and liquids from entering the windpipe (trachea) and directs them to the esophagus.
If the epiglottis fails to close properly during swallowing, food may enter the trachea and cause a coughing reflex to clear the airway. This is the cause of coughing during swallowing.
Thus, the correct answer is Option (A): Epiglottis.

Match the following:
Assertion: The male ants are developed by parthenogenesis from unfertilized eggs.
Reason: The sex of offspring depends on the type of sperm that fertilizes the ovum, which is not relevant since male ants develop through haploid parthenogenesis, which does not involve fertilization.Match the following:
