Q

what does the UES do during and after swallowing? & why?

A
  • During swallowing, the upper esophageal sphincter opens to allow food and liquids to pass into the esophagus
  • After swallowing it constricts to reduce the backflow of food and liquids from the esophagus into the pharynx
  • prevents food from traveling down the trachea, or windpipe aka aspiration

Q

21 components of the swallow

A
  1. Open jaw (mandible)
  2. Rotary movement of jaw
  3. Lip closure (prevent anterior spillage)
  4. Lateral movements of the anterior tongue to mix bolus with saliva (serous and
    mucous) and to move it around while chewing occurs
  5. Posterior tongue elevates
  6. Velum depresses to articulate with posterior tongue
    - Prevents premature posterior spillage
  7. Tongue tip rises to touch alveolar ridge
  8. Posterior tongue begins to depress
  9. Velum elevates to close off nasopharynx
  10. Increased tongue to palate contact to propel bolus back. Bolus touches anterior faucial pillars/palatoglossal arch to initiate pharyngeal
    swallow
  11. Suprahyoid muscles contract for hyoid burst (superior and anterior movement)
  12. Airway protection
  13. Base of tongue articulates with posterior pharyngeal wall
    - Ideally you want full articulation
  14. Pharyngeal shortening
  15. Opening of the UES
  16. Rostral-caudal activation of pharyngeal constrictors (superior > middle > inferior)
  17. Longitudinal pharyngeal muscles relax and lengthens
  18. Residue can remain in the vallecula and/or pyriform sinuses
  19. LES triggered to open at point of MPC (maximum pharyngeal constriction)
  20. At swallow rest, UES goes back to contracted/closed state, hyoid descends, larynx
    descends

Q

detailed description of the swallow

A

During swallowing, the larynx will close to prevent food or liquid from entering the trachea at three levels: the epiglottis, the vocals folds, and the ventricular folds (also known as the false vocal folds)
At the same time, the upper esophageal sphincter will open so the food and liquid can pass through esophagus
Extrinsic laryngeal muscles including the suprahyoid muscles such as the geniohyoid, mylohyoid, and hyoglossus elevate with the hyoid, while the thyrohyoid, suprahyoid, and the long pharyngeal muscles pull the larynx upward toward the hyoid
This will assist the epiglottis with inverting to cover the entrance to the airway
The arytenoid cartilages will also be pulled forward, underneath the epiglottis to help with this closure
Overall, the larynx will elevate anteriorly to contribute to relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter, making it easier for food and liquid to clear out of the pharynx
All of this is coordinated with the motion of the tongue, which propels the food to the posterior oropharynx and provides downward pressure, and contraction of the pharynx, which moves the bolus of food downwards

Q

Swallow Reflexes: LAR

A

Laryngeal Adductor Reflex (LAR):
The laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR) involves a sustained duration and pressure of vocal fold closure during ; also controlled by brainstem function

28
Q

Cough Reflex:

A

The cough reflex functions to expel and clear irritants from the airway by partial adduction of the vocal folds with prolonged exhalation
This requires a high amount of intratracheal pressure and contraction of the laryngeal adductor muscles

29
Q

Phases of Swallow - Oral preparatory phase

A
  • formation of the bolus
    Voluntary
    Food/liquid is placed into and maintained within the oral cavity, without falling out of the mouth or into the sulci
    Base of tongue forms a seal posteriorly against the soft palate
    Food is manipulated by the tongue (and chewed) while being mixed with saliva
    A bolus is formed and positioned for transport into the pharynx
30
Q

Oral phase -

A
  • anterior to posterior transport of the bolus
  • Voluntary
  • Tongue cups/holds prepared bolus
    Tongue tip rises, touching alveolar ridge
    Posterior tongue depresses and soft palate elevates to open the back of oral cavity
    Body of tongue moves upward and creates a tongue-palate contact from anterior to posterior, propelling the bolus towards the pharynx
    Reflexive pharyngeal swallow is triggered as the bolus enters oropharynx
31
Q

Pharyngeal phase -

A
  • bolus transport through the pharynx and opening of the UES
  • Reflexive
  • Velopharyngeal port closes
    Hyoid pulled superiorly and anteriorly
    Pharynx shortens and larynx elevates
    Airway closes and epiglottis inverts
    Tongue base retracts and pharynx constricts rostro-caudally to create a descending wave to clear bolus
    Upper esophageal sphincter relaxes and distends to accommodate the bolus
    Bolus passes into esophagus
32
Q

Esophageal phase -

A

Reflexive
Cricopharyngeus muscle returns to tonic state to avoid retrograde bolus entry
Esophageal peristalsis is activated, squeezing bolus through esophagus
LES is triggered to relax and bolus is squeezed into stomach

33
Q

The swallow is Coordinated within the _____ where the ____ receives ___ & the ___ sends out __

Q

UES Opening - detailed description
