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.
