What structure prevents the passage of food into the trachea?
There are two pipes, the windpipe (trachea) and the esophagus. When you eat food, a little flap (the epiglottis) goes over the windpipe to stop you getting food into your lungs. That's why when you try to eat with your mouth full you often choke. (You're trying to breathe and eat at the same time!)
