Why is swallowing impossible when talking?!


Question:

Why is swallowing impossible when talking?

in relation to digestion


Answers:

When you swallow, a set of reflexes takes over momentarily, and the opening to the airway closes briefly to allow food to pass without aspirating it. No air means no speech; in short, the two activities are mutually exclusive.
