1 ml, increasing
any patient whose aspiration is larger than approximately _____ per bolus of a particular food consistency despite interventions should be resticted from eating that consistency
10%
approximately ____ percent of patients who aspirate do not cough in response to this aspiration
50%
even the most experienced clinicians fail to ID approximately _____ percent of the patients who aspirate during a bedside
40%
older individuals are at higher risk ofr oropharyngeal disorders because of stroke and so on, and ____ dysfunction, because of age
esophageal
symptomatic treatment results in
longer, more expensive care and less effective long-term health for the patient.
diagnosis of dysphagia is designed to identify the ____________ of each patient's ________ and ________
identify the abnormal elements of each patient's anatomy and physiology
the anatomic areas involved in deglutition in clude the
oral cavity, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus
between the anterior and posterior faucial arches are the
palatine tonsils
the ___ is the space formed between the alveolus and cheek or lip musculature
sulcus (lateral sulcus, anterior sulcus)
muscles forming the floor of the mouth includes
1. mylohyoid 2. geneohyoid 3. anterior belly of digastric (all of which attach to the body of the mandible anteriorly and the body of the hyoid bone posteriorly)
the ____ forms the foundation for the tongue
hyoid bone
the laryx is suspended from the hyoid bone by the _____ and ____
thyrohyoid ligament and thyfohyoid muscle
if the hyoid elevates and moves forward,
so will the larynx
the oral tongue includes
tip, blade, front, center, and back
the oral tongue ends at the
circumvillate papillae
the oral stages of swallow is under
cortical or voluntary neural control
the tongue base (pharyngeal portion) begins at _____ and extends to the _____
circumvillate papillae, hyoid bone
the tongue base is under ______ but can be placed ____
involuntary neural control coordinated in the brainstem (medullary swallow center), can be placed under voluntary control
the roof of the mouth is formed by the
maxilla (hard palate), velum (soft palate), uvula
the ______ muscle helps to pull the soft palate down and forward
palatoglossus muscle
velopharyngeal port closure happens with a combo of muscle pulls such as:
palatopharyngeus, levator palatal muscle, and fibers of the superior pharyngeal constrictor
three large salivary glands are on each side
1. parotid glands 2. submandibular 3. sublingual
the parotid gland produces _________ fluid
serous
the submandibular and sublingual gland produce
both types of fluid (sublingual glands more mucous)
pharyngeal structures involved in deglutition include three pharyngeal constrictors:
superior, medial, and inferior, which form the posterior and lateral pharyngeal walls
median raphe
the midline of the posterior pharyngeal wall. pharyngeal constrictor muscles arise here and run laterally to attach to structures located anteriorly
inferior fibers of the superior constrictor that attach to teh tongue base are known as the
glossopharyngeus muscle
the fibers of the inferior constrictor attach
to the sides of the thyroid cartilage anteriorly
teh spaces that are formed between fibers of the inferior constrictor and the thyroid cartilage are called
pyriform sinuses, which end inferiorly at the cricopharyngeal muscle.
