Yes, the soft palate rises reflexively to close off the nasopharynx during swallowing. This helps prevent food or liquid from entering the nasal cavity during the swallowing process.
What keeps food out of the nasal cavity?
The primary structures that keep food out of the nasal cavity are the soft palate and the uvula. During swallowing, the soft palate elevates to close off the nasopharynx, preventing food from entering the nasal cavity. Additionally, the uvula helps to block the passageway, ensuring that food travels down the esophagus instead of up into the nasal passages. This coordinated action is crucial for proper swallowing and preventing choking.
