<span>Vesicles are used to transport items in many different circumstances, so I'm not quite sure how to answer your question. Vesicles are used when transporting to and from the golgi apparatus, also when transporting molecules to lysosomes. They are even used when undergoing exocytosis. Basically, they are used to carry items/molecules/wastes around within cells

The epiglottis is a flap in the back of your tongue that prevents food from entering the larynx. When your mouth is closed, the epiglottis is in place and blocks the larynx opening. If your mouth is open, the flap lifts and the larynx is no longer blocked so you can breathe. This is why it's important to not chew with your mouth open... if you do, then food can go down the larynx by mistake.
