Question 1

Is this a silly question? I'm just curious because I know we have two main pipes in our throat, you know, the windpipe and the food pipe. So is the windpipe on the right side or the left side? And what about the food pipe, is it on the left or right? Sorry if this sounds dumb, just really curious!

The food pipe, or esophagus, is also located in the midline of the body, behind the windpipe. So neither the windpipe nor the food pipe is specifically on the right or left side of the body.
