Drink and food go in the mouth but do they go down the same tube?!


Question:

Drink and food go in the mouth but do they go down the same tube?


Answers:

no. like midway down ur throat- right under the larynx, the pipe branches off into 2 tubes. one is the esophagus-that goes to ur stomach and the other is the windpipe which goes to your lungs. when u swallow, there's a peice of skin that seals the windpipe, so u won't get the food in ur lungs and strangle ur self.
