Q

Sensory innervation of tongue

A

-rostral 2/3rd of tongue innervated by sensory lingual branch (CN V)- sensitive to temp, touch, pain
-Cranial Nerve VII- sensation of taste and carries parasympathetic fibers to the base of taste buds
-caudal 1/3rd innervated by lingual branch of glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX)- carries taste sensation from taste buds and parasympathetic efferent fibers to the taste buds

27
Q

Canine tongue

A

-stretch receptors in the tongue
-use tongue to lose heat by panting

28
Q

Ruminant tongue

A

-tongue is heavily keratinized with long papillae

29
Q

Feline tongue

A

-have long papillae for grooming
-tongue is rough

30
Q

Porcine tongue

A

-most of the papillae are soft, long and directed caudally

31
Q

Avian tongue

A

-tongue has a bone
-used primarily for food manipulation, rather than vocalization

32
Q

Mastication

A

-chewing
-mechanical breakdown of food in mouth

33
Q

Incisors

A

-procure food by tearing and scraping actions

34
Q

Molars

A

-used for grinding food into smaller pieces
-Carnivores: imperfectly grind food
-Herbivores:spend more time grinding

35
Q

Purpose of mastication

A

-to break food into smaller particles to increase SA for digestion and to mix food with saliva. Saliva ensures adequate lubrication of the food bolus for passage down esophagus

36
Q

Stratified squamous epithelium

A

-lines the mouth, tongue, pharynx, esophagus and can withstand the mechanical trauma associated with this process

37
Q

Papillae aiding in mastication

A

-lingual papillae aid in mastication by increasing the SA which increases area of contact and friction between tongue and food

38
Q

Types of lingual papillae

A

> lingual papillae divided into mechanical and gustatory papillae. When not associated with taste buds=mechanical

39
Q

4 major papillae

A

1.Filiform- fine, small cone-shaped, highly keratinized, most numerous and considered mechanical (not associated with taste buds)
2. Fungiform-club shaped projections
3. Foliate- short vertical folds
4. circumvallate- dome shaped

40
Q

Jaw movements carnivores and omnivores

A

-jaw movement is mainly in the vertical plane (straight up and down motion) producing shearing action

41
Q

Jaw movements herbivores

A

-includes up and down movements and lateral movements which create a mechanical grinding necessary to break down the plant material
-upper jaw is wider than the lower jaw and mastication occurs only on one side at a time

42
Q

Teeth types

A

1.hypsodont
2.brachydont

43
Q

Hypsodont

A

-high crowned teeth, grow continuously and found generally in herbivores and omnivores that eat fibrous material which needs to be ground

44
Q

Brachydont

A

-short pointed teeth
-good for holding prey, tearing and shedding
-found in carnivores and humans
-begin to wear down following emergence. If the enamel is worn, the tooth begins to develop cavities

45
Q

Salivary secretions

A

-saliva added to the bolus of food for chewing
-saliva contains digestive enzymes (amylase and lipase)
-produced by acinar glands located in the mandible and upper jaw in most species

46
Q

Functions of saliva and chewing

A

-disruption of food into smaller particles
-formulation of bolus for swallowing
-initiation of starch and lipid digestion
-facilitation of taste
-regulation of food intake and ingestive behaviour
-cleansing of mouth and selective antibacterial action
-neutralize refluxed gastric contents
-mucosal growth and protection in the rest of GI tract
-aids in vocalization

47
Q

Deglutition

A

-swallowing
-passage of food from mouth through pharynx and esophagus into stomach
-starts out as voluntary but becomes reflex during execution

48
Q

Movements in the mouth (swallowing)-becoming a reflex

A

1.mouth and tongue bring food bolus into a position that is on midline between tongue and hard palate
2.Food is then in contact with receptors in the mucous membrane of the posterior wall of the pharynx
3.receptors send afferent impulses along the glossopharyngeal nerve (IX) and vagus nerve (X), and maxillary division of trigeminal nerve (V) to the swallowing center of medulla
4. swallowing in then involuntary (a reflex)

49
Q

Movements in the mouth (swallowing)- coordinated actions

A

1.breathing stops momentarily
2.soft palate elevates, closing the pharyngeal opening of the nasopharynx preventing food entering nostrils
3.tongue pressed to hard palate
4.hyoid bone and larynx are pulled forward glottis is pulled under the epiglottis, blocking the laryngeal opening
5. all openings to the pharynx are now closed
6. upper esophageal sphincter relaxes to allow the bolus to enter the esophagus

50
Q

Timing of motor events of swallowing

A
  1. Bolus in mouth=~0.6sec, then in pharynx
  2. Bolus moves through pharynx and upper esophageal sphincter= ~0.5sec

***therefore in esophagus in a total of 1.2sec

51
Q

Esophagus

A

-tube structure extending from pharynx to the stomach
-passes through the thorax into the abdomen

52
Q

Esophagus wall

A

-muscular layer
-submucosa (stratified squamous epithelium)
-mucosa (stratified squamous epithelium)

53
Q

Smooth muscle vs striated muscle of esophagus

A

-most domestic animals entire esophagus is striated muscle
-birds-entirely smooth
-horses, primates, cats- portion is smooth muscle, rest striated

54
Q

Striated muscle nervous control

A

-portions under control of somatic motor neurons in the vagus nerve

55
Q

Smooth muscle nervous control

A

-under control of the enteric nervous system (ENS)

56
Q

Myenteric plexus

A

-exists along entire esophagus (whether smooth or striated or both)

57
Q

Esophagus Sphincters

A

-upper (cricopharyngeal muscle) and lower esophageal sphincters
>as food reaches end of esophagus, lower sphincter will relax and ingested material enters the stomach
>when not swallowing, the sphincters remain constricted

58
Q

Food movement through esophagus

A

-body serves as a relatively simple conduit transferring food from pharynx to stomach; a ring of constrictions
-food propelled by peristalsis (propulsive movement)
-secondary peristalic waves may be needed to clear esophagus (if bolus is lodged, this secondary waves may lead to muscle spasms)

59
Q

Swallowing and pressures

A

-swallowing increases intrapharyngeal pressure due to the reduction in volume of the closed pharyngeal cavity
>increased pressure results in the sudden relaxation of the pharyngeoesophageal junctions and opening of sphincter, and helps push the bolus through
>sphincter will close and prevent backflow=pressure increases
>peristaliic wave begins in esophagus moving food towards stomach

60
Q

Lower esophageal sphincter relaxation

A

-mediated by VIP (neuropeptide produced by enteric nervous system neurons when a bolus of food is present
-this opening is often paired with peristaltic wave within esophagus pushing the bolus into the stomach

61
Q

What prevents food being ejected back into the esophagus?

A

-stomach muscles are relaxed, reducing pressure in the stomach

62
Q

Distension of stomachs

A

-affects meal size
-some carnivores have very distensible stomachs
-horses have small stomachs and little distention

63
Q

Functions of the esophagus and sphincters

A

-movement of food from mouth to stomach
-protection of the airway and the esophagus
