Q

Stages of swallowing

A

-anticipation (see,smell,think about food and start salivating)
-oral preparatory (tongue collects food/liquid forms bolus)
-oral propulsion (propels bollus into pharynx)
-pharyngeal (throat stage: epiglottis flips down, vocal cords close trachea, pharynx muscles squeeze down)
-esophageal (esophagus squeezes food gradually down to stomach)
