Why can t swallowing and breathing happen at the same time?

When food is swallowed, the epiglottis cartilage covers the trachea and prevents things from entering. Sometimes, eating or drinking is choking, that is, the epiglottis cartilage does not even cover the trachea, causing food to enter the trachea.

No, because they are all in the same tube, when swallowed, the cartilage will close, and if it is done at the same time, then what is swallowed will go to the trachea, to the respiratory tract, and it will suffocate the person to death.

In ancient times, saliva was called "the water of Huachi", but now, it gives people a sense of uncleanness and **. Swallowing saliva is something we do every day inadvertently, maybe you are swallowing saliva right now, but have you noticed that while swallowing saliva, we can't breathe, why is that?

Can I breathe and swallow at the same time?

Because the trachea is used when breathing, and the esophagus is used when swallowing, according to scientific explanation, the esophagus will be blocked when breathing.

Because breathing and swallowing use the same organs, there is no way to do it at the same time. When swallowing, the throat will be closed, and food will not be allowed to enter the respiratory tract, otherwise it will be choked, and it is not advisable to do it at the same time.

If it is done at the same time, then what is swallowed will go to the trachea, to the respiratory tract, and it will suffocate the person to deathIf it is done at the same time, then what is swallowed will go to the trachea, to the respiratory tract, and it will suffocate the person to death!

Because there are two separate tubes in the throat, food enters the stomach from the esophagus, and the air passes through the trachea to the lungs, and at the top near the mouth, there are two tubes linked together, the problem is that if the food enters through the trachea, it will suffocate, so it cannot be swallowed, and breathing cannot be carried out at the same time.

You can't do it at the same time, because there's a diaphragm in the throat....

The respiratory system and esophagus are connected, and if you do it at the same time, you will choke on the trachea!

Because on the outside the esophagus and trachea is a passage.

You can do it at the same time, but it's just choking.

At the same time, you didn't inhale oxygen.
