Speech mech chapter 8 part 2 Flashcards
Eating involves the following
criteria
Important for eating to be pleasant
*hint: Hunger will drive people to acquire
nutrition
Food should be
palatable to be eaten in
sufficient amounts for good nutrition
Stages of swallowing must be
supported by an adequate
neuroanatomical substrate
gustation is also called
Critical component of chewing,
sucking, and swallowing (CSS)
Taste receptors (buds or cells) found
in
papillae of tongue epithelium are
chemoreceptors for gustation
*hint : Transmit information to the brain about
taste
Tastes can be sensed all over tongue. What Types of taste do you have ?
Salty, sweet, sour, bitter, and umami
* Umami is meaty taste of monosodium glutamate
Taste sense determines
whether a
bolus is ingested or ejected from
mouth
taste is Mediated by the
VII facial, IX
glossopharyngeal, X vagus and V
trigeminal nerves
Oral chemethesis
- Detecting chemical stimuli by oral
thermal and pain receptors
– Can sense bacterial invasion and
trigger sneeze
Oral Chemethesis Therapeutic use of carbonation or
citrus reduced
swallowing latency in
individuals with dysphagia although
the bolus was so strong to be
unpalatable
Olfaction is the
sense of smell
Olfaction plays vital role in
appetite and
taste
Olfactory sensors have
a short life
and are continually replaced
Olfaction arrives
at cerebral
cortex through multiple pathways
involving olfactory discrimination
Pleasant food odors
produce
salivation
Unpleasant food odors
produce
gagging or even vomiting
Sense of touch mediated by many
mechanoreceptors (sensors)
Sensors that are sensitive to physical contact. This is….
Broadly distributed about the body
*Differentiated by type of stimulus causing
response
Glabrous (hairless) skin contains
Meissner’s corpules and Merkel disk receptors-
transmit movement and pressure
Deep cutaneous skin contains:
Pacinian corpules and Ruffinni ending- respond to
deep pressure and stretch
