My answer to swallowing was not recorded, so here goes, I believe it's ingesting.?

Question

deglutition is the syn. to dysphasia which is difficulty swallowing.

Please let me know if I'm correct. thanks

I was confused with all the great answers, so I
went to the libray and checked the Taber's Medical
Dictionary It defines:
deglutition as the act of swallowing and
ingestion the act of taking food into the gastroin-
testinal tract.....HELP does this not mean the same thanks

I am not sure I completely understand what you are asking but here goes.

Deglutition is that act of your mouth muscle pushing food, water etc. from your mouth into your esophagus.

Dysphagia is difficulty with swallowing, and good refer to the oral phase of swallowing which is difficult manipulating the food bolus into the esophagus. Or it could refer to a disorder of the esophagus, mean that the esophagus doesn't work right for some reason and the food gets stuck going down.
