49
Q

What is the duration of the oral phase?

A

duration: 1 to 1.5 sec

50
Q

What are the steps of the pharyngeal phase?

7

A
  • Velopharyngeal closure
  • Tongue base retracts to posterior pharyngeal wall
  • Closure of the epiglottis
  • Hyoid elevation and laryngeal vestibule squeeze

.

51
Q

What does the oral prep phase require?

What is it negatively affected by? (3)

A

Intact dentition //

Poor salivary function

Surgical defects

Neurological disorders.

52
Q

What is triggered when food enters the mouth?

A

Sensory receptors (taste, smell, pressure, temperature).

53
Q

How does oral hygiene factor into aspiration?

2

A

Individuals with bad oral hygiene are more likely to develop pneumonia due to aspiration.

Having good oral hygiene decreases the change of developing pneumonia due to aspiration.

54
Q

Which glands produce saliva?

3

A

Parotid

Sub-mandibular

Sub-lingual

55
Q

What is important about the parotid gland?

A

It is the largest but doesn’t produce the most saliva

56
Q

What are the two types of saliva?

A

Thin watery (serum-like) or thick (mucous like)

57
Q

Why is saliva important?

3

A

Oral hygiene

Keeping micro-organisms away

Bolus formation

58
Q

What does the sub-mandibular gland produce?

A

Produces a combination of thin and thick liquid (responsible for 60 to 70%)

59
Q

What does the sub-lingual glands produce?

A

It only produces thick saliva

60
Q

What do you need to have a good saliva production?

A

Good oral hygiene

61
Q

What is the clinical term for dry mouth?

A

Xerostomia

62
Q

What nerve controls taste

sensation for the anterior 2/3rd of tongue and general sensation hard palate, and soft palate?

A

Facial Nerve

63
Q

What nerve controls Oral Sensation for the posterior 1/3rd of tongue?

A

Glossopharyngeal Nerve

64
Q

How does oral sensation travel to the sensory cortex?

4

A

Oral/pharyngeal areas ->

Nucleus Tractus-Solitarius ->

Thalamus ->

Sensory cortex

65
Q

In regards to the oral phase, what does the mastication muscles do?

(2)

A

Form the bolus

Bolus is placed on the tongue blade

66
Q

What is the second step of the oral phase?

2

A

Tip of the tongue is elevated and backward

Motion of the bolus into the oro-pharynx is initiated.

67
Q

What is the third step of the oral phase?

2

A

Extrinsic tongue muscles and palatal muscles work to push bolus posteriorly

Nasopharynx is sealed

68
Q

What is the forth step of the oral phase?

A

Sensory receptors in the posterior parts of the tongue and palate guide the initiation of pharyngeal swallowing.

69
Q
