The site of bolus formation primarily occurs in the oral cavity, where food is mechanically broken down by chewing and mixed with saliva. This process helps to lubricate the food, making it easier to swallow. Once adequately formed, the bolus is pushed to the back of the mouth and enters the pharynx, leading to the esophagus for further digestion.
