This number of cranial nerves that are involved during swallowing

This pair of muscles is responsible for moving the soft palate

This describes the frequency of the sound that the cavity most effectively responds to

This structure protects the airway from a potentially entering bolus

The name for the chewed food, liquid, or material is called this

This muscle is responsible for depressing the mandible

This is directly related to the F2 (second formant) of a vowel.

This bone is suspended in soft tissue

Dysphasia in this language means difficulty swallowing

This structure relaxes to allow food to pass from the esophagus into the stomach and then contracts to prevent gerd

Incomplete closure of this results in hypernasal speech

If too short, this structure would result in what we call a "tongue tie"

This describes the contractions of the pharyngeal constrictor muscles

This is a musculoskeletal valve composed of the cricopharyngeus and inferior pharyngeal constrictor

This theory describes changes in the shape of the tract changes sound quality

During swallowing, the vocal folds will adduct to protect the airway. The main muscle for adducting the vocal folds is called this

This is the formal word for the act of swallowing

These three sections make up the pharynx

Incomplete fusion of these would result in both a cleft lip and palate

This muscle (both the superior and inferior) are responsible for creating a bilabial seal during swallowing
