Week 1 Flashcards
What is the goal of the oral prep phase?
create a bolus
What is the goal of the pharyngeal phase?
protect the airway and get the bolus into the esophagus
What is the goal of the esophageal phase?
get the bolus through the esophagus
How long des the oral pre phase take?
variable
How long does the oral phase take?
.3-1.5 seconds
How long does the pharyngeal phase take?
about 1 seconds
How long does the esophageal phase take?
8-20 seconds
What cranial nerves aid in swallowing?
V-Trigeminal VII-Facial IX-Glossopharyngeal X-Vagus XI-Spinal Accessory XII-Hypoglossal
How does the trigeminal nerve aid in swallowing?
- important for chewing
- Motor: controls the tensor veli palatini, mylohyoid, anterior digastric
- Sensory: proprioceptive information about chewing, pain and pressure info, pressure sensation for the anterior 2/3 of the tongue
What phases of swallowing does the Trigeminal aid in?
1, 2, and 3
What does the facial do for swallowing?
- voluntary movement of facial muscles
- aids in saliva production
- sensation of of taste for anterior 2/3 of tongue
How does the glossopharyngeal nerve aid in swallowing?
- stylopharyngeus innervation
- parotid salivary gland
- sensation of the posterior 1/3 of the tongue
- sensation of the pharynx
What phases of swallowing does the glossopharyngeal nerve aid in?
1, 2, and 3
How does the vagus nerve aid in swallowing?
- pharyngeal branch: helps with VP closure
- superior laryngeal branch: pitch, sensation of the laryngeal vestibule (above the VFs)
- recurrent laryngeal branch: adduction of the VFs, sensation of the laryngeal vestibule below the VFs
How does the spinal accessory aid in swallowing?
helps the vagus nerve
What is the name of the three salivary glands?
submandibular
sublingual
parotid
What ground of muscles is primarily responsible for laryngeal elevation?
extrinsic laryngeal muscles
What are the four suprahyoid muscles?
- digastric (anterior and posterior bellies)
- mylohyoid
- stylohyoid
- geniohyoid
What stabilizes the larynx?
when the suprahyoids and infrahyoids work together
What does the digastric muscle do?
- anterior belly: brings the larynx up and forward
- posterior belly: brings the larynx up and back
What does the mylohyoid do?
pull the larynx up and forward
What does the stylohyoid do?
pulls the larynx up and back
What does the geniohyoid do?
pulls the larynx up and forward
What CN innervates the suprahyoid muscles that pull the larynx up and forward?
V
*except the geniohyoid
What cranial nerve innervates the suprahyoid muscles that pull the larynx up and back?
XII
What CN are all the instrinsic laryngeal muscles innervated by?
X (mostly the recurrent laryngeal branch)
What are the four functions of the intrinsic laryngeal muscles?
- adduct
- abduct
- tense
- relax
