Esophagus for food and drink. Trachea for air.

I've had two intubations in my life and I'd have died without it.

songbird, In Britain these words tend to be spelt in this way, e.g. anaemia, oestrogen, haemoglobin and foetus. I think it does make the words more difficult to spell, but conversely makes it easier to recognise their common origin. E.g. any word with "aem" in it is likely to be about blood.

BotanyBae #63809, I believe the 'oesophagus' version is from the Latin. Many medical terms have an 'ae' in the spelling but commonly spelled with "e" only i.e. paediatrician or pediatrician

Jackie, Spelling is from Greek, the origin of these words.

it is obvious that the answer is trachea. Coz oesophagus carries food and also air, but trachea carries only air.

I have studied about 2 tubes which was mentioned here..Eustachian tube and trachea so eustachian tube is related to ears so the answer goes TRACHEA.

AudaciousHothead1494, I believe you can close your esophagus up and still breathe.

HisChamp, I've had one... I was taking a shower one day, suddenly stopped breathing, and woke up intubated. My official diagnosis was, "sometimes that happens"!

BotanyBae #63809, the esophagus transports food not air.
