Q

pharyngeal phase:

A

BOLUS IS IN OROPHARYNX; SOFT PALATE & UVULA CLOSE OFF NASOPHARYNX, & LARYNX ELEVATES SO EPIGLOTTIS

17
Q

Esophageal phase:

A

BOLUS PASSES INTO STOMACH W/PERISTALTIC CONTRACTIONS

18
Q

Where is the bolus being sent to? Start from beginning.

A

Oral cavity, pharynx, esophagus, & stomach

19
Q

What happens to the bolus in each location?

A

ORAL CAVITY: MECHANICAL DIGESTION FROM CHEWING; CHEMICAL DIGESTION FROM SALIVARY AMYLASE. PHARYNX: SWALLOWS BOLUS. ESOPHAGUS: TRANSPORTS BOLUS FROM PHARYNX TO STOMACH. STOMACH: MIXES BOLUS W/GASTRIC SECRETIONS (NOW CHYME) W/HELP OF SMOOTH MUSCLE CONTRACTIONS.
