Endotracheal tubes are inserted through the mouth or nose into the trachea, tracheostomy tubes are surgically placed directly into the trachea through an incision in the neck, and LMAs are inserted into the larynx to create a seal for ventilation.

Why is it easier for food to get drawn into the trachea instead of the esophagus?
Because there is a flap in your throat that covers the appropriate passage at the appropriate time. Ex: When you are eating, the flap usually covers the trachea. However, if you are laughing while eating, the flap can get very confused and may cover the esophagus instead of the trachea, allowing food to go down it. I hope this helped~
