The esophagus connects the pharynx to the stomach. In the conjunction between the pharynx, esophagus, and the larynx (windpipe), the larynx is covered by a flap of cartilage called the epiglottis to prevent food from traveling into the lungs. When this fails or closes too slow, the person experiences that the liquid/food "went down the wrong pipe".
