57Steps of [blank_start]ingestion[blank_end]
[blank_start]2[blank_end] Food is mixed and moistened by [blank_start]saliva[blank_end], which also keep your teeth clean.
[blank_start]4[blank_end] [blank_start]Bolus[blank_end] of food is propelled to the stomach by [blank_start]peristalsis[blank_end]. [blank_start]Peristalsis[blank_end] will make this ball smaller.
[blank_start]3[blank_end] Food is chewed and rolled into a ball called a [blank_start]bolus[blank_end]. Bolus is swallowed.
