Q

How many and what actions occur during the pharyngeal stage?

A

3:

  1. Epiglottis inverts covering the laryngeal vesitbule
  2. Larynx and hyoid and pulled anterior and superior
  3. Bolus is propelled through the pharynx to the esophagus by action of the pharyngeal constrictors

Q

Why is the hyoid (and larynx) lifted and pulled forward?

A

when this happens it opens the pharynx, relaxes the UES and helps the VFs to close the glottis

Q

How is the bolus transported to the LES?
