Q

How are sphincter muscles different from regular muscles?

A

Sphincter Muscles are opposite of regular muscles in that they expand when they contract. Regular muscles shorten when they contract.

Sphincter Muscles are round muscles that are closed and small until they contract and then they open and expand.

Q

Why is it helpful for the ant belly of the digastric, suprahyoids, and thyrohyoids to pull the larynx up and forward?

A

When larynx is pulled up and forward during swallowing, the vfs close and the CP opens so the bolus can travel where it is supposed to

30
Q

31
Q

Esophageal Structures:

A

1) UES (upper esophageal sphincter) (aka CP (cricopharyngeus), Also called: PE segment (pharyngoesophageal sphincter)
2) Esophagus (~25 cm long)
3) LES (lower esophageal sphincter – located right above the stomach, closes off to prevent backflow

32
Q

What happens to the LES with longterm repeated reflux?

A

Erosion over time will erode the elasticity of the muscle. It no longer works

33
Q

Esophageal Muscles:

A

1) UES
2) LES

3) 2 layers of muscle in esophagus (Striated & smooth muscle)
- Inner circular
- Outer longitudinal

34
Q

UES (Upper Esophageal Sphincter) (fnc):

A

– keeps air out of esophagus, keeps contents swallowed from coming back up

35
Q

LES (Lower Esophageal Sphincter) (fnc):

A

– keeps contents in stomach

36
Q

2 Layers of muscle in esophagus

A

(Striated & smooth muscle)

  • Inner circular
  • Outer longitudinal
37
Q

Oral Prep / Oral Phase (time):

A

time varies with bolus consistency

38
Q

Oral Prep/ Oral Phrase:

A
  • Labial m., lingual mvmt, sensory receptors, buccal m., nose breathing
  • mastication – rotary lateral mvmt of jaw & tongue
  • bolus formation – tongue mixes bolus w/ saliva
  • “tipper” or “dipper” (where does your tongue go?) (Dodds et al., 1989) – most pts w/dysphagia were “dippers”
  • bolus transport (tongue’s posterior mvmt of bolus)
    from the oral cavity to the pharynx
  • ↑ viscosity = ↓ volume = ↑ pressure = ↑ m. activity
  • multiple swallows
39
Q

General Rule about viscosity and volume:

A
  • Increasing the viscosity = decreasing the volume
  • e.g. larger sip of water and smaller bite of steak
  • Increase the viscosity = increase the pharyngeal pressure = gives you a harder swallow = makes the muscles activate more
40
Q

Pharyngeal Stage Time

A

~ 1 second

41
Q

Pharyngeal Stage: What Happens?

A

a. Velum elevates & retracts for VP closure, bolus transport with tongue base retraction & pharyngeal wall contraction
b. Epiglottis inverts over the laryngeal vestibule, hyolaryngeal elevation & protraction
c. Closure of larynx (upward and farward movement of the larynxs causes CP opening)
d. CP opening

e. Transport by pharyngeal
constrictors

f. CP closure, larynx rests

42
Q

Delayed pharyngeal swallow =

A

if pharyngeal stage not triggered when bolus head passes between faucial arches and tongue base

43
Q

In MBS: examples of signs of delayed pharyngeal swallow

A 
penetration
aspiration
premature spillage
vallecula pooling
etc.
44
Q

Anything coming over the tongue base and pharyngeal swallow has not triggered =

A

premature spillage

Also need to say there is a delayed pharyngeal swallow

Also mention where it landed

45
Q

If the bolus goes into the vallecula or pyriform sinuses =

A

poolings

46
Q

If stuff is there AFTER the swallow =

A

residue

47
Q

Esophageal Stage (time):

A

8-20 seconds

48
Q

Esophageal Stage: What happens?

A
  • transit time is measured from UES through LES
  • bolus flow through the esophagus via peristaltic contractions of striated and smooth muscle along the esophageal wall
  • relaxation of LES allows bolus to flow into the stomach
49
Q

Young Normal A+P Variations (4):

A

1) Higher hyoid & larynx (better protection), less elevation
2) Lower velum, shorter pharynx
3) Uvula in epiglottis, pocketing valleculae
4) Pharyngeal swallow is triggered at anterior faucial arch (bolus flow uninterrupted, no pause)
* Infants = can Suck swallow breath so bolus flow is uninterrupted, no pause

50
Q

Older normal A+P Variations (8):

A

1) Ossification of cartilages & hyoid bone
2) Pharyngeal swallow triggered when bolus head reaches middle of tongue base
3) 70+ larynx lower
4) Arthritis in C vertebrae impinge on pharyngeal wall
5) Typically “Dippers”
6) Delay, residue, penetration
7) Reduced hyolaryngeal excursion, plateaus at CP opening
8) Reduced CP opening flexibility

51
Q

Neurologic A+P Variations (1):

A

1) Pharyngeal swallow triggered when bolus head reaches middle of tongue base or when falls into pyriforms

52
Q

Is Aspiration ever normal?

A

No.

Aspiration is NEVER normal at any age! If they are normal health people, they should not be aspirating! They move into the dysphagia category

A

Silent aspirators – Vagus has been damaged.

68
Q

What is the CPG (central pattern generator)=

A

area for reflexive/automatic swallowing located in the medulla

69
Q

Cortical input: what is cortical input to swallowing?

A

Cortical damage –> abnormal swallowing

Undeveloped/absent cortex (infants) –> normal swallowing

70
Q

Is swallowing volitional or reflexive? Cortical or brain stem?

A

We don’t know. Maybe it’s both and when one is gone the other takes over? We don’t know for sure.

71
Q

Explain the Apneic period:

A
  • During pharyngeal stage
  • Lasts ~ 1 second
  • Increases as volume increases
  • Mostly during exhalation (at end or near end)
  • Safer than inhalation
  • Dysphagia occurs during inhalation
