Q

What is the tongue movement mainly during opening?

A

Styloglossi and genioglossus act together to form a longitudinal trough in the dorsal surface of the tongue

Q

What is the function of the styloglossi and genioglossi forming a longitudinal trough in Dorsal surface of tongue?

A

Pushes food to the posterior oral cavity if both SG contract together
Or if food is not ready for swallowing it pushes it towards the cheek teeth if one SG contracts

Q

What are jaw-closing alpha motoneurons inhibited by?

A

Strong stimuli to mucosal and periodontal ligament afferents

17
Q

What are the 2 other motor nuclei?

A

Hypoglossal motor nucleus

Facial motor nucleus

18
Q

What is involved in hypoglossal motor nucleus?

A

Some crossover to the contralateral side

Some inputs also from the CPG to coordinate tongue movement with opening and closing

19
Q

What is involved with facial motor nucleus?

A

Sends special visceral efferent fibres to facial muscles of mastication
Also innervates the posterior digastric which contracts with anterior digastric

20
Q

What is muscle activity elicited by?

A 
A reflex (opening or closing)
CPG responsible for chewing
21
Q

Where is CPG?

A

In the brainstem

22
Q

Where does the drive from the CPG come from?

A

Motor cortex which initiates the reflex

Peripheral sensory receptors

23
Q

What are neurons in the dorsal swallowing group responsible for?

A

Generating swallowing patterns

24
Q

What are neurons in the ventral dorsal swallowing groups responsible for?

A

distributing the required efferent response to the motor neurons

25
Q

How many circuits does the CPG consist of?

A

2 mutually re-enforcing circuits

26
Q

How does the CPG circuits work?

A

When one is active, it inhibits function of the other, so 1 is only active at a time
The 2 circuits are connected via inhibitory connection
Circuit 2 remains inactive until there is a synaptic depression

27
Q

Is the CPG alone efficient?

A

If the brainstem is cut off from afferent inputs then basic rhythmical movement will still occur bu the movement cannot be modulated according to other afferents such as the size of the food bolus in normal mastication

28
Q

What does dysfunction of the masticatory area result in?

A

persons inability to recover normal masticatory functions as the cortex is responsible to initiate feeds and tongue posture in adults

29
Q

What is swallowing?

A

A sequence of muscle contractions and relaxations which move material from the oral cavity to the stomach

30
Q

What are the 3 phases of swallowing?

A

Oral phase
Pharyngeal phase
Oesophageal phase

31
Q

What is the oral phase?

A

Conscious movement

Food bolus is moved back to an IX innervated area

32
Q

What is the pharyngeal phase?

A

Reflex movement

Elicited by bolus stimulation of IX receptors

33
Q

What is oesophageal phase?

A

Reflex autonomic movement

Moves the bolus down the oesophagus

34
Q

Where is the hyoid?

A

base of the tongue
