What body system is involved when someone chokes on a twizzler due to laughing and eating?

(I know, strange question.)

Respiratory, muscular, and possibly digestive. Coughing and laughing would mainly be respiratory and muscular but I included digestive since they ate a twizzler. I’m not 100% on this but I think it’s correct

It should be the Epiglottis, which if it doesn't close fast enough, it can cause food to slip down the trachea.
