There is a structure located in your throat called the epiglottis. Every time you swallow the epiglottis folds down to a more horizontal position. In this manner it prevents food from going into the trachea and instead directs it to the esophagus, which is more posterior, thus it covers your wind pipe so it doesn't go down the wrong way! Things can interrupt this process, for example talking while eating. That's why your parent's always told you not to talk and eat at the same time!
The epiglottis covers the trachea wnen you swallow. This movement protects food from entering the lungs.
