Answer 1

The correct answer is **epiglottis**. The epiglottis is a flap of tissue that sits at the base of the tongue and covers the trachea during swallowing, preventing food from entering the airway. It is involved in both the respiratory system (as part of the airway) and the digestive system (as part of the process of swallowing food).
