The oesophagus passes through a muscular structure called
1 Diafhram
2 Diaphragm
3 Abdomen
4 Pelvis
Explanation:
The oesophagus is a thin, long tube which extends posteriorly passing through the neck, thorax and diaphragm

The structures that open into the pharynx
1 Trachea
2 Oesophagus
3 Epiglottis
4 Both (1) and (2)
Explanation:
The oral cavity leads into a short pharynx which serves as a common passage for food and air. The oesophagus and the trachea (wind pipe) open into the pharynx. A cartilaginous flap called epiglottis prevents the entry of food into the glottisopening of the wind pipe-during swallowing.

Statement A : Epiglottis shuts down and prevents the entry of food into larynx Statement B : Food bolus passes from mouth into stomach directly.
1 Statement A is correct but Statement B is incorrect.
2 Statement A is incorrect but Statement B is correct.
3 Both statements are correct.
4 Both Statements are incorrect.

During intake of food, the entry of food into the glottis is prevented by
1 Epiglottis - muscular flap
2 Epiglottis - skin flap
3 Epiglottis - fascial flap
4 Epiglottis - cartilaginous flap
Explanation:
During swallowing of fodd, epiglottis -a leaf-like cartilaginous flap prevents the entry of food into glottis.
