[It is better to
have an animal crackers for this part] To illustrate the pharyngeal phase, consider what happens when you take another bite. Focus on what happens after everything is chewed and you are ready to swallow. What happens? 1. Hold your breath (for a split second) 2. Swallow is triggered 3. Food “goes down” 4.
