Is it bad for you if your drinking water and it goes down the wrong tube?
Sometimes when a person eats or drinks something, it may end up down the wrong tube or pipe. What this really means is that if you are talking or laughing as you swallow the food or drink, the larynx can be a little late in closing off the airway to seal it from intrusion. If this happens, a strong coughing reflex will occur that will help bring the food back up into the area it is supposed to go.

What flap of tissues insures that air goes into lunges and food to the stomach?
The flap of tissue that ensures air goes into the lungs and food goes to the stomach is called the epiglottis. During swallowing, the epiglottis folds down to cover the trachea, preventing food and liquids from entering the airway. When breathing, the epiglottis remains open, allowing air to flow into the trachea and subsequently into the lungs. This mechanism helps to coordinate the pathways for respiration and digestion.

the lungs close up, which closes off the passage ways from the esophagus and the stomach and the lungs. the passage ways are divided by the esophageal sphinxter. which helps divide what objects go where, food goes down the esophagus into the stomach while air goes down the tubuals down into the lungs. if you have a disfunctional esophageal sphinxter you have a greater chance of getting often re-occurences of GERD otherwise known as Acid Reflux, which results in Stomach Acid occurring in the Tubes of your Esophagus.
