28
Q

genioglossus

A

innervation: hypoglossal
action: protrusion and depression of the tongue

29
Q

styloglossus

A

innervation: hypoglossal
action: elevates up and back of tongue

30
Q

palatoglossus

A

innervation: glossopharyngeal, vagus, and accessory
action: narrows faces and elevates posterior tongue

31
Q

intrinsic lingual muscles

A

insertion/origin: inside tongue
-change the shape of the tongue
-superior, inferior, longitudinal, transverse, vertical

32
Q

superior and inferior longitudinal muscles

A

superior: in tongue and elevates the tip
inferior: muscle for tongue top depressor

33
Q

transverse muscle

A

narrows tongue

34
Q

vertical muscles

A

flattens tongue

35
Q

extrinsic lingual muscles

A

move the body of the tongue
origin: somewhere outside the lingual muscles

36
Q

pharyngeal muscles

A

pharyngeal constrictors (intrinsic)
palatopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, cricopharyngeus (extrinsic)

37
Q

pharyngeal constrictors

A

innervation: vagus and accessory
action: constrict the pharynx

38
Q

palatopharyngeus

A

shortens the pharynx
action: draws the pharynx up and draws the velum down

39
Q

stylopharyngeus

A

innervation: glossopharyngeus
action: elevates the pharynx

40
Q

salpingopharyngeus

A

innervation: accessory nerve and pharyngeal plexus
action: draws the lateral walls of the pharynx up, balance air pressure of Eustachian tube and relaxes the pharynx

41
Q

cricopharyngeus

A

innervation: vagus
action: acts as a sphincter, relaxing during passage of the bolus from the pharynx into the esophagus
-constriction is causing the upper part of the esophagus to be closed and relaxes during swallowing
-if open all the time, it could cause the food from the stoma to come up and cause acid reflux

42
Q

ventral surface of the tongue

A

underneath part

43
Q

what is the only part of the pharynx that is visible during an oral mech

A

oropharynx

44
Q

hyoid and laryngeal elevation is supported by what

A

FOM muscles (flow of mouth) and attached to the hyoid

45
Q

hyoid and laryngeal depressors after the swallow are likely

A

passive

46
Q

hyoid and laryngeal depressors more likely act as what to the muscles used in elevation

A

antagonists (sternohyoid, sternothryoid, omohyoid)

47
Q

during swallowing, what happens to the esophageal lumen

A

it is collapsed

48
Q

proximal esophageal muscle

A

upper 4th 1/3
striated and innervated by RLN and sympathetic plexus (autonomic input)

49
Q

distal esophageal muscle

A

smooth and enervated by autonomic input
-inner (circular fibers)
-outer (longitudinal fibers)

50
Q

course of the esophagus

A

-esophagus runs lateral +posterior to left ventricle of the heart
-after esophagus passes the diaphragmatic hiatus, it connects to the body of the stomach at the level of the LAS

51
Q

why is the bend important in the esophagus

A

if a person is dealing with enlarged heart muscles, the heart may press the esophagus and make it harder for food to pass

52
Q

epiglottis

A

flexible cartilage covering airway during swallowing

53
Q

what triggers the swallow reflex

A

the food accumulates in the the vallecula area and then when it gets large enough the reflex is triggered

54
Q

what happens when the material passes the epiglottis level

A

aspiration

55
Q

what happens when the material enters the airway through the vocal cords

A

penetration

56
Q

swallowing is controlled by

A

peripheral and central nervous system

57
Q

what are the layers of protection during swallowing action

A

-epiglottis bends over airway
-vocal cords must be abducted during swallowing
-coughing mechanism

58
Q

what is medullary control known as

A

swallowing pattern generator

59
Q

multimodal sensory impulses are sent to what

A

nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) to initiate the pharyngeal swallow

60
Q

what is the motor function mediated by during medullary control

A

nucleus ambiguous (NA) via multiple cranial nerves

61
Q

dysphagia in the brainstem lesion area is characterized by

A

incoordination between stages and between swallowing and respiration- damage to swallowing center
-muscular weakness- damage to corticobulbar system
-results in an incomplete swallow (significant residue)

62
Q

supra nuclear controls

A

higher control centers involved in continuing, modifying, and monitoring swallowing and responding to input variability

63
Q

examples of higher control centers

A

feedback loops continuing the repetitive chewing behavior
-volitional modification (taking pills, feeding rate, expectorating unwanted bolus)
-responding to different sensory stimuli

64
Q

which muscle lowers the mandible

A

lateral pterygoid

65
Q

contraction of which muscle elevates the hyoid

A

mylohyoid

66
Q

the cricopharynxgeus muscle contracts during pharyngeal stage

A

false

67
Q

this muscle holds food in contact with molars during chewing

A

nucleus tractus solitaries receives sensory information in medulla

A

false
