What's the function of these systems?
esophagous, phraynx, glottis, trachea

Answer 1

function of the following systems:

• Esophagus: esophagus is also referred to as the food pipe of the gullet which is present in the vertebrates in which there would be passages of food after ingestion to the stomach. During this passage, there would be peristaltic contraction. This is a fibromuscular tube, that would be traveling behind the trachea. It carries out functions of swallowing and reducing the gastric refluxes.
• Pharynx: pharynx is the part of the throat that is present on the back of the nasal cavity as well as the mouth. This is present over the larynx and the esophagus. This is the conducting zone of nostrils and helps in vocalisation.
• Glottis: this is the opening present in the vocal folds. The functions are in voicing or pronounciation, as well as sound production.
• Trachea: this is also referred to as the wind pipe and it connects the pharynx with the lungs. This organ allows air passage.
