Answer:

When you breathe, air enters your mouth and moves into the pharynx. The air then goes down into your main airway (trachea) and into your lungs.

A flap of tissue called the epiglottis sits over the top of the trachea. This flap blocks food and drink from going down into the trachea when you swallow.

NemiM [27]

Answer:

The correct answer to fill in the blank for the question: At the Holy Frijoles restaurant, you order a burrito grande with extra sour cream and cheese and an order of tortilla chips with guacamole.

Explanation:

As the stomach distends with the contents in it, nerve centers there start firing towards the hypothalamic centers, where this ventromedial nuclei receives the message and produces the sensation that satiety has been reached, and fullness has been reached. It is this message that will stop the feeling of hunger from taking over and this is what has happened to the person who ate the huge burrito.
