O begins when the bolus enters the oropharynx
O begins when the soft palate and uvula close off the nasopharynx
Are the following statements regarding the esophagus TRUE OR FALSE
1. The esophagus is held open by C-shaped rings of cartilage
2. The esophagus lies anterior to the spine
3. The esophagus lies immediately anterier to the trachea
4. The upper and lower esophageal sphincters must relax to allow passage of food
Once food has entered the pharynx, deglutition will become completely involuntary, and respiration will be inhibited by the swallowing center until the last stage of the process is completed. True or false and why.
