  • Title: Anatomy and physiology of pediatric swallowing disorders.
    Author: Derkay CS, Schechter GL.
    Journal: Otolaryngol Clin North Am; 1998 Jun; 31(3):397-404. PubMed ID: 9628940.
    Abstract:
    The anatomy and physiology of the act of swallowing is complex. Because the swallowing mechanism matures with age, it is important to understand this maturation process from neonate to older child to appreciate the impact of this changing physiology on pediatric swallowing disorders. This article reviews the relevant anatomy, neurologic control mechanism, and physiology of swallowing in neonates and children.
