Q

Explain in detail what happens during the Oral “voluntary” phase:

A

After the bolus has been formed through the help of the muscles of mastication and dentition, the tongue will propel the bolus to the back (oropharynx). In doing so, the tongue tip and sides will pan on alveolar ridge. Next the soft palate elevates and the tongue base drops. Pressure is exerted by the tongue, once the bolus reaches the ramus of the mandible, bolus enters the pharyngeal stage

Q

Once the tonuge elevates, velopharyngeal closure begins, which triggers:

A

forward motion of the hypolaryngeal to increase opening of UES (upper esophageal sphincter); larynx elevates, and relaxation of cricopharyngeus musculature

Q

Explain Pharyngeal Transit

A

base of the tongue retracts and contacts with the posterior pharyngeal wall

followed by a sequential contraction of upper, middle, and inferior constrictors

bolus moves downward via a combination of gravity, base of tongue retraction, and pharyngeal contraction

Q

Explain in detail how epiglottic retroflexion works:

A

suprahyoid, mylohyoid, and geniohyoid muscles are responsible for the anterior movement of the hyoid and tipping of epiglotts to a horizontal position

-base of tongue contributes to horizontal movement

elevation of larynx to approximate hyoid results in moving of epiglottic in vertical position

Q

What happens during the Esophageal Stage?

Q

Name some of the age-related changes in swallowing:

A

sense of taste is diminished (reduced sensory input due to dysphagia)

percentage of dippers increase

increase in amount of oral/pharyngeal residue

increase in transient penetration, but not incidental aspiration

greater delay during swallow

Q

What is the purpose of a bedside clinical swallow?

24
Q

What are some of the clinical findings or signs of a patient with dysphagia?
