Explore the intricate process of deglutition, or swallowing, in this comprehensive 48-minute lecture. Delve into the three phases of swallowing: oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal. Begin by examining the muscles of mastication and their role in forming a bolus during the oral phase. Follow the journey of the bolus through the pharyngeal phase and into the esophageal phase, where it transforms into chyme. Learn about jaw muscles, tongue function, and the workings of the ferengi, larynx, and glossopharyngeal nerve. Gain insights into secondary peristalsis and its importance in the digestive process. Master the physiological mechanisms behind this essential bodily function through clear explanations and detailed illustrations.
