If This Reflex is Not Working,a Person is in Danger

Question

If this reflex is not working,a person is in danger of choking on food.
A) Baroreceptor
B) Withdrawal
C) Babinski
D) Gag

Accepted Answer

The gag reflex is the one that prevents food or foreign objects from entering the airway and causing choking. If the gag reflex is not functioning properly, then the person is at risk of choking on food or other objects. The baroreceptor reflex helps regulate blood pressure, the withdrawal reflex is for pain response, and the Babinski reflex is for testing neurological function. None of these are directly related to preventing choking.
