The epiglottis
The cartilage in the throat that guards the entrance to the trachea and prevents fluid and food from entering it when a person swallows is known as the epiglottis
.
The epiglottis is an elastic flap located at the upper end of the larynx in the throat. The epiglottis is the valve that turns passage to either the esophagus or the trachea. The epiglottis allows air to enter the airway to the lungs during breathing, and during swallowing, it allows food and fluids to pass into the gastrointestinal tract.
No, predators do not only kill the old and sick prey. They will go after any of the prey, including the strong ones and the children. The reason they often go after the old and sick prey is because they're easier to pick off, whether they are on their own or in a pack. Predators will go after any one of the members of their prey, but prefer the old and/or sick as it requires less energy.
Answer: Antibodies are proteins that are found in the body on the surface of red blood cells and in the blood plasma ,they are very sensitive to foreign bodies and bad viruses and bacteria,when they notice the presence of anything that poses harm or a threat to the body system,they track it down and fight/destroy it.
Antibodies also play crucial role in hemostasis(stoppage of bleeding) in the sense that when the body is wounded or when someone gets a cut antibodies that are found in the plasma and some substances found in the platelets are released to play a role in sending signal to the blood clotting factors in the blood to be released to arrest the bleeding and prevent the person from bleeding out their entire blood.
