[[Mastication|Masticated]] and insalivated food is cupped by the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] on its dorsal surface and the tip of the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] pushes dorsally against the [[Soft Palate|soft palate]].

The jaws are closed. The '''mylohyoid''', '''hyoglossal''' and '''stylohyoid''' mucles raise the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] and push the bolus into the [[Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|oropharynx]]. When the food touches the pharyngeal mucosa, the swallowing reflex is initiated.

The [[Oropharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|Oropharynx]] relaxes and the [[Soft Palate|soft palate]] is elevated by the '''levator velli palatini''' muscle. The '''pharyngeopalatine arch''' closes by the '''palatopharyngeus'''.

The [[Hyoid Apparatus - Anatomy & Physiology|Hyoid]] is moved rostro-dorsally and the '''pterygopharyngeus''' contracts bringing the common [[Pharynx - Anatomy & Physiology|pharynx]] forward to engulf the bolus. The [[Epiglottis]] bends back to prevent food entering the [[Larynx - Anatomy & Physiology|larynx]].

The bolus enters the [[Larynx - Anatomy & Physiology#Laryngeal Pharynx|laryngeal pharynx]] and the [[Tongue - Anatomy & Physiology|tongue]] relaxes. The bolus is passed on down the [[Oesophagus - Anatomy & Physiology|oesophagus]] by a concentric series of contractions by each set of contractor muscle in turn called peristalsis. The '''pharyngeopalatine arch''' reopens and the [[Hyoid Apparatus - Anatomy & Physiology|hyoid]] moves back by the  geniohyoid. The glottis reopens.
