    The physiology of deglutition following mastication are complex neuromuscular activities consisting essentially of three phases, an oral, pharyngeal and esophageal phase. Each phase is controlled by a different neurological mechanism. The oral phase, which is entirely voluntary, is mainly controlled by the medial temporal lobes and limbic system of the cerebral cortex with contributions from the motor cortex and other cortical areas. The pharyngeal swallow is started by the oral phase and subsequently is co-ordinated by the swallowing center in the medulla oblongata and pons. The reflex is initiated by touch receptors in the pharynx as a bolus of food is pushed to the back of the mouth by the tongue. .. would you like me to go on? - is quite fascinating


    yeah, please go on...but could you move on to patho? Or should I get back to you when I reach that point of my patho class?
    Oh damn! Hoist by my own thingumee. just Google dysphagia or see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysphagia

    but be warned, it's a bit hard to swallow

    Dude! I know I've said I'm getting my medical degree from Google University...but I was KIDDING! You can ACTUALLY attend a real university to find out this stuff. Go figure!!!

    :noway:
    I did. Sad, isn't it

    Swallow ladies should never spit lol

    Kinda depends on how hard up the guy has been...if you know what I'm saying...I never was good at chugging...but am will give it the college try.

    :laugh:
