Q

Describe the oral phase:

A
  • the swallow begins in your mouth, not your throat. You form a bolus, even with liquid, it is put in a “group” so that it doesn’t go in your cheeks, under your tongue, and it does not dribble out the corners of your mouth.
  • It is characterized by a bunch of closures, no leaking. Your lip forms the seal, and the velopharyngeal port closes.
  • Everything is contained in the mouth→NO LEAKAGE!
  • The oral phase contains both food and liquid completely in the mouth. Leakage through the lips, the nose, or the larynx is bad! Esp. the larynx leak!
