Respiratory.The trachea (or windpipe) is a wide, hollow tube that connects the larynx (or voice box) to the bronchi of the lungs.
Windpipe is the common name for the trachea. These names represent the same structure.
When swallowing food it enters into your digestive system through your esophagus. Air that is taken into your system enters the windpipe. The epiglottis which is a flap located between the esophagus and windpipe covers the windpipe so that food does not enter it by mistake. This allows for food and air to stay separated in the digestive system.
