The larynx is just the tube at the top of the respiratory tract, so it cannot close itself. The trachea is the cartilaginous portion of respiratory tract below the larynx so it cannot close the top of the larynx. The esophagus is what the larynx separates from and connects the buccal cavity (mouth) to the stomach, so it cannot close the larynx. The epiglottis is a cartilaginous plate at the top of the larynx that closes the larynx when you swallow so fluids and food stuff does not go into the lungs and opens to breathe after the end of the swallow. The answer would be the epiglottis.

Lea wants to maintain strong bones as she ages. Which bone-strengthening activity should she incorporate into her current plan?
ruslelena [56]

Running and aerobics are bone-strengthening activities that Lea may incorporate in her current plan. However, the kind of bone-strengthening activities that should be done depends on the stage of development. For children, adolescents and young adults, vigorous activities may be done because it is the stage for building strong bones. On the other hand, adults aged 35 onwards have the tendency to have brittle bones or natural bone loss, therefore, vigorous activities must be lessened in frequency.
