Table 6.

P-values obtained from three-way repeated measures ANCOVA analyzing effect of sex, volume, and pharynx length on upper esophageal (UES) pressure and timing events. UES pre = pre-opening maximum pressure; UES post = post-closure maximum pressure; UES min = minimum UES pressure during opening; UES time = time lapse between pre-opening and post-closure pressure peaks.
