Swallowing occurs in order to take in nutrients. The throat contracts and pulls the food down along with the saliva.

The combination of mashed food substances and

saliva is called a bolus. When it has been mixed well and

contains sufficient moisture, it can be easily swallowed.

Your tongue pushes chewed food down your throat and muscles squeeze it down.
