A

Oral Preparatory

28
Q

oral phase

A

30
Q

Disorders or Swallowing:

Which phase has difficulty with….

Difficulty forming and holding the bolus, abnormal holding, slippage of food into anterior and lateral sulcus, aspiration before swallow, weak lip closure, reduced tongue

A

Oral Preparatory

31
Q

How does the supersupraglottic swallow help?

A 
enhances airway closure by closing:
