What is the 2 phases of swallowing?
Swallowing involves two main phases: the voluntary phase and the involuntary phase. The voluntary phase, also known as the oral phase, occurs when food is chewed and formed into a bolus, which is then pushed to the back of the mouth. The involuntary phase, or pharyngeal and esophageal phases, begins when the bolus triggers a reflex that moves it down the throat and into the esophagus, using coordinated muscle contractions to transport it to the stomach.
Which phase or phases of the swallowing process are voluntary?
Yes and no. The initial phases of swallowing are under voluntary control, but swallowing takes several different muscles to act in a synchronized way and after initiation of the swallow, the later phases are automatic and not voluntary.
What stage can we stop the process of swallowing a bolus of food?
We can stop the process of swallowing a bolus of food during the oral phase, which involves the voluntary act of moving food to the back of the mouth. Once the bolus enters the pharyngeal phase, swallowing becomes involuntary, and it is no longer possible to stop the process. The transition from the oral to the pharyngeal phase is marked by the triggering of the swallowing reflex.
