Swallowing is the most complex movement made by humans. It is based on a neuromuscular mechanism that undergoes a physiological maturation, represented by the passage from infantile to adult swallowing. It consists in the coordination of about 30 muscles and several joints, to ensure the bolus progression from the mouth to the stomach in about 1 second. It is made by the combination of multiple sequential behaviors like : (1) mouth closure, (2) oral food transport, (3) soft palate elevation, (4) hyoid elevation and forward displacement, (5) laryngeal closure, (6) UES opening, and it is influenced by the sensory and cortical inputs that arrive from the central pattern generator (CPG) for human swallowing.
