Foreign objects which enter the Trachea are more likely to pass in to the right bronchus . This is because of the positioning of the bronchus which is more vertical than the left bronchus so the effect of gravity is more marked. It is also wider and shorter than the left bronchus.

Can pinworms enter the human trachea?

Pinworms (Enterobius vermicularis) typically inhabit the human intestinal tract, particularly the colon and rectum. They are not known to enter the trachea, as their lifecycle is adapted for the gastrointestinal environment. If ingested, pinworm eggs can cause infection, but they do not migrate to the respiratory system. Thus, pinworms do not enter the human trachea.

In the process of swallowing Food cannot normally enter the trachea because why?

Food cannot normally enter the trachea during swallowing because of the action of the epiglottis, a flap of cartilage that covers the trachea. When swallowing, the epiglottis folds down to block the airway, directing food into the esophagus instead. This mechanism helps prevent choking and ensures that food and liquids are routed safely to the stomach. Additionally, coordinated muscle contractions in the throat further facilitate this protective process.
