How does the esophageal sphincter work?
During peristalsis, the esophageal sphincter allows the food bolus to pass into the stomach. It prevents chyme, a mixture of bolus, stomach acid, and digestive enzymes, from returning up the esophagus. An overly loose esophageal sphincter leads to heart burn because the stomach acid "burns" the esophagus. An overly tight esophageal sphincter is known as achalasia and leads to pain on swallowing, regurgitation of food, and cheat pain.

What is a combitube?
A combitube is a duel cuffed endotracheal airway used for blind endotracheal intubation. This item is usually used in the prehospital setting. The simplicity of placement is the main advantage of the combitube over endotracheal intubation. When intubating with a traditional endotracheal tube, care must be taken to ensure that the tube has been placed in the trachea, and not the esophagus. The dual-lumen design of the combitube allows for ventilation to proceed regardless of where the tube ends up. If the tube is placed into the esophagus, ventilation is provided through one tube, and if it winds up in the trachea, ventilation is provided through the other tube.
Why after eating. I get. Asthma?
Because the muscles that cause food to be pushed down your esophagus are partially connected to your trachea. When the esophageal muscles contract, they also cause the tracheal muscles to contract. Causing bronchospasm. I have asthma and this is a p.i.a. It's why I eat only twice a day.

Stomach pump and respiratory arrest if someone was intubated because they had stopped breathing could you also put a tube down them to pump their stomach at same time meaning TWO tubes at same time?
Yes this is an option that is available. When using an airway device referred to as a Combitube you can provide airway management, artificial breathing, and access to the stomach.(for pumping it) The combitube is simply two tubes glued together that gets stuffed down the throat. The only caveat for pumping the stomach is that the holes in the combitube are somewhat small and no chunks bigger than about half a green pea would fit. This is all assuming that you purposely placed the combitube into the esophagus instead of the trachea.
What animals breathe by tracheal structure?
Insects breathe by tracheal structure. The reason insects breathe with their trachea is because they do not have lungs.
