Q

How does food pass over the trachea to get to the esophagus?

A

The epiglottis: a cartilagenous flap that seals off the larynx as food passes by

21
Q

What is choking?

A

A large bolus can get stuck in the oropharynx, holding down the epiglottis and preventing respiration

22
Q

Why do only humans choke? And why not babies?

A

Babies have ape-like skull proportions for suckling.

23
Q

6 steps of swallowing (deglutition)

A

First 3 Voluntary, second 3 involuntary

  1. Tongue sweeps bolus back (intrinsic tongue muscles)
  2. Hyoid slightly elevated (suprahyoid muscles)
  3. Bolus swept into oropharynx, lateral arches stiffen (palatoglossus, styloglossus)
  4. Soft palate elevated/tensed (veli palatini muscles)
  5. Hyoid elevates larynx, depressing epiglottis (suprahyoid muscles)
  6. Esophageal sphincter opens, pharygeal constrictors contract, send bolus into esophagus
