Question: Why do we swallow even if theres no food in our mouth!?
Answers:
Partly to moisten our throat, but also it's a reflex which starts a chain reaction in our digestive system called peristalsis!. Peristalsis is the constriction of the tissue of the digestive tract, in a wave-like motion, which causes the food and resulting waste to be pushed down through the digestive system!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
