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.
吞咽行为的解剖学和生理学是复杂的。由于吞咽机制会随着年龄增长而成熟，因此了解从新生儿到大龄儿童的这一成熟过程，对于认识这种生理变化对小儿吞咽障碍的影响很重要。本文综述了新生儿和儿童吞咽的相关解剖学、神经控制机制及生理学。
