Is the tongue involved in the swallowing reflex?
The tongue is involved in the swallowing reflex insofar as it raises voluntarily to force food backward toward the pharnyx, where reflex action takes over in which the larynx is closed by the epiglottis and the nasal passages are closed by the soft palate so that food does not enter into the trachea. Food then moves down the esophagus by peristalsis and gravity.
