73
what does the oral stage of eating invlove
lubrication
chewing
reducing microbes
deglutition (swallowing) - bolus goes from oral cavity to stomach, while protecting the airway and preventing air into the stomach
74
what happens in the pharangeal stage of eating?
gag reflex to food bolus, allows selective passage
initiates tracheal closure, esophageal opening, and passage of food bolus to the upper esophagus

breaks down food mechanically

\_\_\_\_\_ empty from stomach faster than \_\_\_\_\_\_.

83
