Answer:The process of swallowing, also known as deglutition, involves the movement of substances from the mouth (oral cavity) to the stomach via the pharynx and esophagus.

Step-by-step explanation:

Squeezing bolus from the laryngopharynx in to the esophagus through the action of the inferior constrictor muscle. Peristaltic waves of longitudinal circumferential fibers of the smooth muscle lining the esophagus and remaining digestive tract will continue to move the bolus for digestion, absorption, and expulsion.
