The larynx is located at the top of the trachea or windpipe. In the larynx, the vocal folds, commonly known as the vocal cords, close tightly when swallowing to prevent any food or drink from entering the trachea and lungs.

What keeps food from going down our windpipe?
Food is kept out of the lungs by a structure in the throat called the epiglottis. It is a flap of skin found just above the vocal chords and larynx (the "windpipe") which leads to the lungs. When a person swallows, the epiglottis folds over top of the vocal cords and blocks off the larynx, preventing food from entering our lungs. Choking, the feeling of having something 'stuck' in your throat, or 'going down the wrong way' can happen because the epiglottis is ONLY a flap of skin that works upon a reflex. For a picture of the epiglottis go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gray1204.png (although I got this picture from Wikipedia, I did NOT receive my information from there)
