62
Q
  • the upper esophageal sphincter is contracted (closed)
  • the tongue presses hard against the hard palate, forcing the food bolus into the oropharynx

63
Q
  • the tongue blocks the mouth
  • the soft palate and its uvula rise, closing off the nasopharynx
  • the larynx rises so that the epiglottis blocks the trachea
