Throat pipes

2018-01-12 02:49:10
This is probably a stupid question but, I know that we all have different pipes in our throat (the windpipe and food pipe) so is the windpipe on the right side or left side? And the same question with the food pipe, if it's on the left side or right side? Sorry for the stupid question once again :P Thank you so much!
