Summary Introduction

To review:

The steps of deglutition.

Introduction:

The digestive system starts with the oral cavity and ends with the anal cavity. The food is mixed with saliva and mucus by the tongue to form a bolus. The bolus is then pushed to the pharynx, then to the esophagus, and finally to the stomach. This process is called swallowing or deglutition.
