Pharyngeal – food bolus is moved through the oropharynx and hypopharynx to the esophagus. Respiration stops briefly with vocal fold adduction and larynx elevation to prevent aspiration.

Potent strain of bluetongue virus is spreading in northern Europe, threatening sheep and cattle
A dreaded pathogen is spreading rapidly among livestock in the Netherlands for the first time in 14 years, killing sheep and sickening cattle.
