    If you're looking to swallow something rather long there is a technique involved:

    Should I have included the question "what weird things have you swallowed?"

    Oh I win this one.. Not me personally but my patients have swallowed some crazy stuff.... Knives,forks spoons sporks, batteries,combs, toothbrushes, hair bands , plastic wrap, rocks, pens, pencils, markers, crayons... Metal clamps ,thin chains, screws , tile, and they do this all on purpose...

    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
