47
Q

Deglutition is a complex process in which food is masticated, formed into a bolus, and passed from oral cavity to pharynx to esophagus to stomach. It involves cranial nerves

A

V, VII, IX, X, and XII

48
Q

Deglutition is divided into which two phases?

A
  1. ) Voluntary

2. ) Involuntary

49
Q

What is phase one?

A

Food is chewed, saliva is secreted, tongue moves food around the mouth forming a bolus, and tongue pushes bolus to pharyngeal mucosa (where it begins phase 2)

50
Q

The food is chewed using the muscles of mastication which are controlled by

A

CN V

51
Q

The position of food between the molars is maintained by

A

Sensory fibers of the cheek (CN V) and buccinator muscle (CN VII)

52
Q

Saliva is secreted by the parotid, which is controlled by

A

CN IX

53
Q

Serve to moisten the food and begin the digestive process

A

Submandibular and sublingual glands (CN VII)

54
Q

The food is tasted on the tongue by

A

CNs VII and IX

55
Q

The tongue moves the moistened food around in the mouth forming a bolus by pressing it against the hard and soft palates. This is controlled by

A

CN XII

56
Q

In phase II, the bolus of the food contacting the pharyngeal mucosa initiates a

A

Reflex response

57
Q

Stimulates a number of motor responses

A

Sensory limb of reflex (CN IX)

58
Q

What are the three motor responses stimulated by the sensory limb of the reflex in phase II?

A
  1. ) Sealing off the nasopharynx
  2. ) Sealing off the larynx
  3. ) Preparing the pharynx to receive the bolus
59
Q

The sealing off of the nasopharynx prevents food from entering the nasal cavity and is done by contracting

A

Levator palati (CN X) and Tensor Palati (CN V)

60
Q

Sealing off of the larynx is done by?

A

Elevating the hyoid bone (CN V, VII) and larynx (CN IX, X) and using the tongue to push the epiglottis over the larynx (CN XII)

61
Q

When the pharynx is elevated it becomes shorter and wider, thus more receptive to the

A

Food bolus

62
Q

When the bolus enters the pharynx, the pharynx moves the bolus posterior to the larynx and esophagus by beginning a series of

A

Peristaltic-like contractions (CN X)

A

Senses presence of bolus on pharynx and tongue
