Innervation of the Swallow
“Normal swallowing includes an integrated, interdependent group of complex feeding behaviors emerging from interacting cranial nerves of the brainstem and governed by neural regulatory mechanisms in the medulla, as well as in the sensorimotor and limbic cortical system.”
Neurological Control:
“Swallowing is mediated by a distributed neural network that includes_____ and ______structures with descending input to the brainstem.” –Daniels,(2010)
Theories of neural control:
1.
2.
cortical and subcortical
- Chain of linked Reflexes
- Central pattern generator hypothesis
Neural Control

Dorsal Nucleus Tractus Solitarius
1.
2.
3.
Cerebral control

- _________- face area
- Primary _________ Cortex
- _____
- Periventricular _____
away from organ
toward organ
Cerebral and midbrain
Brainstem
- Nucleus Ambiguous
- Primary Trigeminal Nucleus
- Ventral Medial reticular formation
Pre-Motor
Primary motor cortex
somatosensory
Insula
White matter
Cortical and Sub-cortical Lesions leading to dysphagia:
Anterior to the _________
____ vessels more than _____
Specific Areas:

- Primary somatosensory Cortex
- Insula
- Periventricular White matter
Brainstem
Made up of:
1.
2.
3.
Cranial nerves and their nuclei arise from the _____
Basic ____________are maintained here
- midbrain
- pons
- medulla oblongata
brainstem
bodily functions for life
Cranial Nerves-Swallowing
**________
3 branches:
Motor supply (efferent) to __________
Sensory info (afferent) :
V Trigeminal Nerve
- opthalmic (GSA),
- maxillary (GSA),
- mandibular (GSA, SVE)
the muscles of mastication
anterior 2/3 on tongue, floor of mouth, gums, teeth, inner lining of cheek, pinna, auditory meatus, TMJ, nasal cavity, eyelids, etc.
VII Facial Nerve
Facial expression :
Tears:
Taste for…
bilateral innervation for the upper facial muscles, contralateral innervation for the lower facial muscles
(lacrimal gland)and salivation (sublingual , submandibular gland)
anterior two-thirds of tongue
Damage to the facial nerve
Oral & Pharyngeal
Distorted facial appearance
Loss of taste in front 2/3 of the tongue
IX Glossopharyngeal Nerve
- taste for posterior 1/3 of tongue and soft palate
- touch, pain, and temperature for posterior tongue, faucial pillars, upper pharynx
- muscle activation for stylopharyngeus and superior constrictor muscles
- efferent portion for parotid gland
IX Glossopharyngeal Nerve
(Phases)
oral phase
and pharyngeal phase
X Vagus Nerve
Motor innervation of most
Afferent:
laryngeal, palatal, and pharyngeal muscles as well as intestines, stomach, esophagus, kidney, heart, trachea, and bronchi
pain, touch, temperature to skin surrounding ear drum, posterior pinna, external auditory meatus as well as pain from lower pharynx, larynx, esophagus, palatopharyngeus, palatoglossus, levator veli palatini, uvula (tensor veli palatini is not innervated by Facial nerve) taste to epiglottis and valleculae.
Lesions of Vagus nerve:
difficulty swallowing, hypernasality and nasal regurgitation due to paralysis of levator veli. flaccidity of VF on side of lesion (bilateral lesion would cause paralysis of both VFs in adducted position or medial position), laryngeal stridor, aspiration, decreased pitch range.
Vagus Nerve
__________ & __________ phases
(Note: often damaged in
___________ surgery)
Sensation and motor to
__________
______ effected
X only = ______________
Pharyngeal & Esophageal
endarterectomy
pharynx & larynx
Peristalsis
hoarseness, swallow, soft palate on one side
XI Accessory Nerve
Efferent innervation of __________
Also works with Vagus to…
(Less direct- some ____ muscles)
sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles
innervate laryngeal, pharyngeal, and soft palate muscles
neck
XII Hypoglossal Nerve
Extrinsic & intrinsic muscles of _________

- Lower motor neurons will result in _________
- deviation of tongue to _________
- fasciculations (__________)
tongue
contralateral side; tongue paralysis
ipsilateral paralysis
side of lesion
(twitching movements of tongue)
