Deglutition means what?

Explanation:
Deglutition is the act of swallowing—the coordinated sequence that moves a bolus from the mouth into the esophagus. It involves an oral phase (voluntary control to form and push the bolus), a pharyngeal phase (involuntary, protecting the airway and guiding the bolus downward), and an esophageal phase (peristaltic movement into the stomach). This is different from dry mouth (xerostomia), altered taste (dysgeusia), or chewing (mastication).
