Answer Choices:
Pharynx
👄Once mastication and salivary digestion occur in the mouth, food becomes a bolus.
🔽The bolus is pushed by the tongue into the pharynx, initiating the swallowing reflex.
🧠The pharynx acts as a shared passageway for food and air and directs food toward the esophagus.
🛑This process is voluntary at first but becomes involuntary once the bolus enters the pharynx.
📌Core Message
After chewing, food moves into the pharynx, where swallowing begins and digestion proceeds.
