Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Swallowing involves the movement of the bolus from the mouth to the stomach, as well as a sequentially programmed, multiple response, all-or-none reflex. Therefore, choices A and C are both correct, making option D the best choice. Choice B is incorrect because it only refers to the movement of the bolus from the mouth to the esophagus, and not the stomach.
