The epiglottis is a flap that is made of elastic cartilage tissue covered with a mucous membrane, attached to the entrance of the larynx. It prevents the entry of food into the larynx, and directs it to the oesophagus. Due to improper movement of epiglottis, one may suddenly start coughing while swallowing some food.

A: Alveolar cavity - main site of exchange of respiratory gases
D: Capillary wall - exchange of O2 and CO2 takes place here
B : Red blood cell - transport of CO2 mainly
