2. A “stripping wave” is created on the posterior wall of the pharynx to help move the bolus
3. The soft palate begins to elevate, and Passavant’s ridge starts to form in the posterior wall of the
pharynx and moves closer to the soft palate
4. Laryngeal vestibule and rima glottidis are closed to prevent the bolus from entering the larynx
