What are the structures involved in feeding and swallowing?
Tongue Soft palate Hard palate GE junction Pharingeal muscles Esophagus Teeth Epiglottis

Tongue Soft palate GE junction Pharingeal muscles Epiglottis Esophagus
What are the immobile structures involved in feeding and swallowing
Teeth
Hard palate
What is a bolus
Rounded?? mass that consists of chewed food and saliva
Why does the soft palate need to contact with the pharingeal wall and close off towards the nasal cavity

Strts with the posterior proportion of the bolus by the tongue and ends with the initiation of the pharyngeal swallow
Oral transit phase
What stage this activity refers to?
Starts with the inititation of the volutary pharyngeal swallow which in turn propel the bolus thru the pharynx
Pharyngeal phase
What stage this activity refers to?
Relaxation of the UES to receive bolus
Pharyngeal phase
What stage this activity refers to?
Involuntary phase during which the bolus is carried thru the stomach thru the process of peristalsis
Esophageal phase
Why do the epiglottis need to close off the airway
To avoid aspiration
What is dysphagia
Difficulty in eating or swallowing due to structural EG oral /oral concerns?HAHAHAHAH
What is odynophagia
Painful swallowing
Diffuculties in eating activies that may/may not include problems with swallowing
Feeding disorders
Difficulties that can occur in any oral prep, oral transit, pharyngeal, esophageal phase
Swallowing disorders
Example of a feeding disorder
Anorexia
