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 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristalsis| peristalsis].The '''pharyngeopalatine arch''' reopens and the [[Hyoid Apparatus - Anatomy & Physiology|hyoid]] moves back by the  geniohyoid. The glottis reopens.
