Functional Imaging of Swallowing

Abstract

Swallowing is a phylogenetically old yet highly complex physiological function. Swallowing serves primarily to transport a liquid or solid bolus from the oral cavity to the stomach, while at the same time preventing penetration of the nasopharyngeal or laryngeal airways. Thus, safe and effective swallowing requires the coordinated interaction of twenty-six muscles and five cranial nerves (Jones and Donner 1991; Logemann 1988).
