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~
When you swallow to prevent food from entering the trachea?
Your epiglottis is a little piece of cartilage and connective tissue that covers the opening of your trachea when you swallow to prevent anything in your throat from entering your windpipe (trachea). If you inhale, hiccup, or laugh hysterically while you're swallowing, then any loose material present in the esophagus can enter your windpipe while your epiglottis is trying to let you breathe. As long as you don't inhale when you swallow, you should be fine. You might want to see a specialist if you continue to have problems.

What role epiglottis play in digestion?
The epiglottis is a flap of cartilage just above your throat that protects the trachea, which leads to the lungs, safe from anything but air. If anything other than air gets to your lungs, you will die. That's why God, our amazing creator, specially designed the epiglottis to protects us from theses harmful objects. If you accidentally get food or water not going down the esophagus, but instead the epiglottis, the epiglottis and linings of your trachea are very sensitive and your body will cough to get it out. This works most of the time, but if the piece of food is stuck or too big, a medical medical professional will perform the Heimlich maneuver to help you couch it up so can breath.
