Document Summary
Amanda sanchez, brianna wint, heder garcia, daniela pantoja, jenifer alvarez. Tell me what you think might have happened. She has her knees locked causing decreased blood flow, therefore decreasing the amount of oxygen being dispersed. The brain will sense that you have less oxygen and cause you to faint. When you talk while eating, you will allow air out, therefore opening the epiglottis making food go down the trachea instead of the esophagus. Two girls in a high school cafeteria were giggling over lunch, and milk accidentally sprayed out of the nostrils of one of them. Explain in anatomical terms why swallowed fluids can sometimes come out of the nose. This is c-shaped so that when you swallow food the bulge isn"t always hitting the cartilage on the trachea. Also, the c- shaped cartilage allows the trachea to collapse so food can pass down the esophagus.
