is it voluntary or involuntray

A

38
Q

what is phase 2

A

Oral transit phase

39
Q

what happens

A

Bolus propelled to back of mouth

Palate seals entrance to nasal cavity

40
Q

what structures

A

Lip, jaw, tongue & palate sensory & motor function needed

41
Q

which cranial nerves

A

V, VII, IX, X, XII

42
Q

vol or invol

A

Voluntary control

43
Q

are the airways closed

A

NB: AIRWAY OPEN

44
Q

next ohase is called

A

Pharyngeal phase I

45
Q

what happens

A

triggered when bolus reaches faucial arch
Palate stays elevated
Tongue retracts, to push bolus to pharynx

46
Q

what structures

A

Tongue, palate & laryngeal sensory & motor function needed

47
Q

invol or vol

A

Reflex control

48
Q

which cranial nerves

A

IX, X, XII

49
Q

and airway

A

AIRWAY CLOSED

50
Q

what happens next

A

Pharyngeal phase II

51
Q

what happens

A

Bolus propelled through pharynx

52
Q

which structures

A

Tongue, palate & laryngeal sensory & motor function needed

53
Q

vol or invol

A

Reflex control

54
Q

which cranial nerves

A

IX, X, XII

55
Q

airways

A

AIRWAY CLOSED by epiglottis, vocal cords & arytenoid action

56
Q

what problem is common with Cerebellar haematoma

A

Uncoordinated tongue retraction to propel food

57
Q

problem

A

Delayed airway closure  food enters airway

58
Q

why didnt solution work -problem

A

Delayed & ineffective cough to clear airway  food aspirated to lungs

59
Q

solution

A

Flexed neck during swallow prevents aspiration

60
Q

what happens in a Lower motor neurone lesion/Excised Acoustic Neuroma

A

Ipsilateral paresis of pharynx, larynx, tongue

61
Q

causes

A

Weak bolus propulsion  pharyngeal & oral residue

62
Q

why solution wont work- problem

A

Failed airway closure  aspiration

63
Q

solution

A

head rotation to direct bolus down strong side of pharynx & airway closure

64
Q

Parkinsons Disease causes

A

Difficulty initiating swallow

65
Q

symptoms

A

Typical repetitive tongue movements

Linked with muscle rigidity, unable to lower the back of the tongue

66
Q

resalution

A

Active range of motion exercises of lips and tongue

67
Q

what is The larynx made up

A
Hollow structure
Composed of:
Cartilages
Membrane
Muscles
68
Q

function

A

Acts as a:
Valve
