1.2 Intro & Anatomy Flashcards
What is dysphagia?
The inability to swallow
What is a bolus?
a food ball
What is laryngeal penetration?
Anything entering the larynx
What is aspiration?
when it goes below the level of the vocal folds
What is residue?
food that is left in the vocal tract after we complete a swallow. The type of residue tells about the anatomy structure.
What kind of function is swallowing?
a neuro-motor function like speech production
What accompanying disorder do children and adults with neuro-motor speech disorders have?
a swallowing disorder
Speech-production and swallowing involve what anatomical structures?
The same

11
- Otolaryngologist
- Gastroenterologist
- Radiologist
- Neurologist
- Respiratory therapist
- Occupational therapist
- Dietician
- Dentist
- Nurse
- Neurodevelopmental specialist
- Patient’s family
When is an inpatient acute setting utilized?
When a patient first has the event, such as a stroke, and goes to the hospital
When is an inpatient sub-acute setting utilized?
Where a patient goes after acute or when prognosis gets better
When is an inpatient rehabilitation setting utilized?
Where a patient goes after they are stable but unable to be left alone
What is an outpatient clinic setting?
It is like what we have at ECU
When is an home health setting utilized?
When a patient gets to go home and a SLP goes to their house to provide therapy
What structures are involved in the Oral stage?
1 + 8
Oral Cavity:
- Lips
- Jaw
- Tongue
- Hard palate
- Soft palate
- Cheek
- Mandible
- Maxilla.
What structures are involved in the Pharyngeal stage?
4
Base of the tongue
Soft palate
Larynx (hyoid bone, epiglottis, laryngeal vestibule, true and false vocal folds, ary-epiglottic folds)
Cricopharyngeus.
What structures are involved in the Esophageal stage?
Esophagus
What muscle opens up the UES?
Cricopharyngeus
What are the four muscles of mastication
Masseter
Temporalis
Medial pterygoid
Lateral pterygoids
.
What nerve innervates the muscles of mastication?
The trigeminal nerve
What are the important cranial nerves for speech?
5
- Trigeminal (V)
- Facial nerve (XII)
- Glossopharyngeal (IX)
- Vagus (X)
- Hypoglossal (XI)
.
What is the most important muscle of mastication?
Lateral pterygoid
What is affected when the trigeminal nerve is damaged?
Mastication
What is an important muscle for lip closure?
Orbicularis oris
When does anterior spillage happen?
It happens when there isn’t complete closure of the orbicularis oris
(Food spills out the front of the mouth )
What is posterior spillage?
When food prematurally spills out at the back of the mouth
What muscles are important to know about the lips?
5
- Levator labii superioris
- Zygomaticus Major
- Zygomaticus Minor
- Depressor anguli oris
- Depressor Labii inferioris
.
What is the risorius muscle responsible for?
It is responsible for stretching out the sides of the mouth for smiling
How is the facial nerve involved with the tongue?
It senses taste in the anterior 2/3 of tongue
What does the tensor veli palatini muscle do?
Tenses the palate (adds the bulk)
What does the levator veli palatini muscles do?
Elevates the palate
What does the palatopharyngeus muscle do?
2
Closes the nasopharynx
Pull the pharynx upward behind the bolus of food (and nearly come together)
What does the palatoglossus muscle do?
2
It raises back of tongue to connect with the palate
Narrows fauces (assuming to make sure bolus is small enough to swallow)
What does the uvula do?
Triggers the gag reflex
