What are the cranial nerves involved in swallowing?
-Trigeminal (V)*
-Facial (VII)*
-Vagus (X) & accessory (XI)
-Hypoglossal (XII)
-glossopharyngeal (IX)
How is Trigeminal (V) involved in swallowing?
-innervates muscles of mastication,
-elevator and depressor of the mandible permitting side-to-side movement of tongue
-elevates tongue & floor of mouth
What muscles are innervated by trigeminal (V)?
-temporalis
-masseter
-medial pterygoid
-lateral pterygoid
-tensor veli palitini
-mylohyoid
-digastic
How is the Facial (VII) nerve involved in swallowing?
-innervates muscles of the face
-closes, opens, protrudes, inverts, and twists lips
-in charge of facial expressions
-elevated hyoid & tongue base
What muscles are innervated by facial (VII) nerve?
-obicularis oris
-zygomaticus minor
-zygomaticus major
-levator labii superior
-levator labii alaque nasi
-levator anguli oris
-depressor anguli oris
-depressor labii inferior
-mentalis
-risorius
-buccinator
-stylohyoid
How are the Vagus (X) & Accessory (XI) nerves involved in swallowing?
-raises & stretched soft palate
-raises tongue back
-closes nasopharynx
-shorten & raises uvula
-intrinsic muscles of larynx
-pharyngeal constrictor muscles
What muscles does the Vagus (X) and Accessory (XI) nerve innervate?
-Levator Veli Palitini
-Palatoglossus
-palatopharyngeus
-uvulae
How is the Hypoglossus (XII) nerve involved in swallowing?
-it depresses the tongue & protrudes and elevates up and back
-draws hyoid bone forward
-depresses mandible when hyoid bone is fixed
What muscles does the hypoglossal (XII) nerve inervate?
-hypoglossus
-genioglossus
-styloglossus
-geniohyoid
How is the glossopharyngeal (IX) nerve involved in swallowing?
& what muscle does it innervate?
-narrows fauces and elevated posterior tongue
-palatoglossus
What are the stages of swallowing?
- ORAL PREPATORY
-mastication and preparation into bolus
-cortical/ voluntary movement - ORAL STAGE
-the movement of the bolus from the anterior oral cavity to oropharynx
-voluntary
3.PHARYNGEAL STAGE
-bolus passage from the oropharynx into the esophagus
-mostly reflexive w/ some voluntary control (if cognition is intact)
4.ESOPHAGEAL STAGE
-bolus passage through the esophagus into the stomach
-reflexive
What is the Cortical function of FRONTAL Lobe?
-responsible for motor control
-intent & initiation
-coordination movement in time & space
-executing the movement in and organized and timely fashion
what is the cortical function of PARIETAL Lobe?
-recognizing & interpreting sensory functions
-identification of presence and interpretation of sensory stimulus
what is the cortical function of the SUPERIOR TEMPORAL lobe?
communication & cognition
what is the cortical function fo the OCCIPITAL lobe?
Responsible for visual perception (color, form, motion)
What is the hemispheric control of swallow function (motor control)
- swallowing motor functions are bilaterally represented in the hemisphere
- if the dominant hemisphere is impaired, a contralateral “backup” may be available for recovery
- cortical plasticity may occur over time, increasing utility of the intact, non dominant hemisphere to control swallowing motor functions
- bilateral strokes often demonstrate the MOST sever & persistent dysphagia characteristics as well as cognitive
-2million brain cells die every minute during acute stroke
