Explain the voluntary system in which chewing is controlled?
Somatic nerves innervate the skeletal muscles of the mouth and jaw
Explain the reflex pathway for chewing?
Contraction of jaw muscles leads to pressure of food against the gums, hard palate and tongue, activating mechanoreceptors that communicate to inhibit jaw muscles thus reduces the pressure causing contraction
Name the main organs for swallowing?
Hard palateSoft palateTongueEpiglottisGlottisLarynx
Explain the oral phase (voluntary) during swallowing?
Bolus pushed to back of the mouth by tongue
Explain the pharyngeal phase during swallowing?
On presence of bolus it activates the sequence of reflex contractions of the pharyngeal musclesThis is coordinated y the swallowing centre in the medullaThe soft palate is reflected backwards and upwards (closing off the nasopharynx)As the bolus reaches the oesophagus the upper oesophageal sphincter relaxes and the epiglottis will cover the opening to the larynx stopping food entering the tracheaOnce bolus has entered the oesophagus the sphincter contracts (preventing reflux)
Explain the oesophageal phase during swallowing?
The propulsion of the bolus to the stomachPeristaltic waves sweep the bolus along the oesophagus and reaches stomach in 10sAs the bolus nears the stomach the lower oesophageal sphincter relaxes allowing the bolus to enter the stomachReceptive relaxation of the stomach is initiated following relaxation of the sphincter and entry of bolusVagal reflexes communicate to that there is relaxation of the thin, elastic SM of the gastric fundus and body

Sight, smell or taste of food witl activate the vagus nerve which activate parietal and g cells which release gastrin to further activate parietal cellsGastrin/ACh activate ECL cells which release histamine to further activate Parietal cells
Explain the gastric phase of gastric acid secretion
Distension of stomach after arrival of food stimulates the vagal and enteric reflexes releasing ACh activating the parietal cellsPeptides present in the lumen activate G cells secreting gastrin will activate parietal cellsGastrin/ACh will activate ECL cells to release histamine and activate parietal cells

Chief cells
