the tongue rolling the bolus into the pharynx
Swallowing is a 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.
No, listening is not automatically an involuntary reflex. It involves conscious attention and active processing of auditory stimuli. While some level of hearing occurs automatically through our ears, truly listening requires cognitive effort and intention.
No, your larynx is used for speech purposes; it contains your vocal chords. The main swallowing mechanism is your esophagus with help from the epiglottis (the flap that covers up your windpipe, keeping things from slipping into your bronchial tubes and lungs)
The term for an automatic involuntary response to change is "reflex." Reflexes are controlled by the nervous system and occur rapidly and without conscious thought to help protect the body and maintain homeostasis.
Swallowing is a reflex.
The term for an involuntary reaction to an external stimulus is a reflex.
A sneeze is an example of an involuntary reflex.
cardioesophageal
An involuntary reflex.
Yes, swallowing is a reflex action of which there are three phases. These are the oral phase, the pharyngeal phase and the esophageal phase.
Patellar reflex is an involuntary, deep tendon and myotatic reflex
There are two reasons this doesn't happen. One is that you cannot breate while swallowing, and the other is that the body has an involuntary reflex that prevents it from inhaling food.
Swallowing involves the central nervous system and is a reflex.
No, a reflex is a rapid, involuntary response to a stimulus. The stimulus is what triggers the reflex reaction in the body.
