heart, other organs

large intestine
Guided by the movements of the ____ the upper part of the respiratory tract, this swallowing reflex directs each bolus into the endurance of the esophagus
larynx
3- The ____, the upper part of the respiratory tract, moves upward and the epiglottis tips over the ______, preventing food from entering the _______
larynx glottis trachea
