c. Digestion Process : Fill in the Blanks

Swallowing, or 1 , occurs in two phases —the 2 and

3 . One of these phases, the 4 phase, is voluntary. During the
voluntary phase, the 5 is used to push the food into the back of
the throat. During swallowing, the 6 rises to ensure that its
passageway is covered by the epiglottis so that the ingested
substances don’t enter the respiratory passageways. It is possible to
swallow water while standing on your head because the water is
carried along the esophagus involuntarily by the process of 7 . The
pressure exerted by the foodstuffs on the 8 sphincter causes it to
open, allowing the foodstuffs to enter the stomach.
The two major types of propulsive movements that occur in the
small intestine are 9 and 10 . One of these move- ments, 11 ,
acts to continually mix the foods and to increase the absorption
rate by moving different parts of the chime mass over the intestinal
mucosa, but it has less of a role in moving foods along the
digestive tract.
