What does the oral cavity include? | From the lips to the nasopharynx Lips, teeth, hard palate, soft palate, uvula, mandible, floor of mouth and tongue. |
What are dental occlusions? | The process of bringing the upper and lower teeth into contact. Class I is normal Class II is overbite, upper teeth and jaw overlap at the bottom Class III is underbite, mandible is advanced farther than maxilla |
What is is called when mechanisms (hard and soft palate) close off an area to make it smaller and in return increase the pressure? | Valving |
What innervates muscles for chewing? | The mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve |
If there is damage to the trigeminal nerve the patient will have difficulty with? | Chewing |
What are the muscles for chewing? | Masseter, temporalis and pterygoid |
What muscle closes the mandible? | Masseter |
What muscle moves the mandible up, forward or backward? | Temporalis |
What muscle closes, opens and permits side to side movement? | Pterygoid |
What are the intrinsic muscles of the tongue for? | More fine movements of the tongue and speech. |
What are the names of the intrinsic muscles of the tongue? | Superior longitudinal Inferior longitudinal Transverse lingualis Vertical lingualis |
What are the extrinsic muscles of the tongue for? | Larger bigger movements of the tongue. |
What are the names of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue? | Genioglossus Posterior fibers Anterior fibers Styloglossus Palatalglossus Hypoglossus |
What extrinsic muscle helps the tongue go in an out and is the strongest and largest? | Genioglossus |
What extrinsic muscle protrudes the tongue and presses the tip against the teeth and alveolar ridge? | Posterior fibers |
What extrinsic muscle retracts the tongue and brings the tongue downward? | Anterior fibers |
What extrinsic muscle brings the tongue upward and backward and brings the sides of the tongue upward? | Styloglossus |
What extrinsic muscle lowers the soft palate, raises the back of the tongue and prevents aspiration? | Palatalglossus |
What extrinsic muscle retracts and depresses the tongue? | Hypoglossus |
The muscles of what part of the oral cavity are important for speech because we have nasal and non nasal sounds and stops air and food? | Muscles of the velum |
What are the names of the muscles of the velum? | Elevators Tensors Depressors |
What is the primary muscles of the velum? | Elevators |
What velum muscle lowers the soft palate? | Depressor |
What velum muscles tenses and flattens out the soft palate? | Tensor |
What does the pharynx include? | Nasopharynx, oropharynx, hypopharynx, base of tongue, posterior pharyngeal wall, epiglottis, hyoid bone and laryngel area. |
What does the nasopharynx include? | Nasal cavity and pharyngeal wall |
What does the oropharynx include? | From the floor of the mouth to the hyoid bone. |
What is the food tube that includes the UES, LES, opens and closes contracts and attracts (peristalsis)? | Esophagus |
What are the three parts of the spine? | Cervical, thoracic and lumbar |
How many vertebrae are in the cervical? | 7, most of what we talk about in speech is in this area |
In an adult what cervical are the vocal folds located? | Between 5 and 6 |
What phase of the swallow is it when the bolus gets ready to move back, includes sensory input, labial seal, mastication, open airway and vocal folds and the material is made into a cohesive bolus? | Oral Prep Phase |
What phase of the swallow is it when the bolus is transported posteriorly in a wave like motion, base of tongue pushes the bolus into superior position to prep, voluntary phase with labial grading? | Oral Phase |
What is is called when the lips pull food from utensils? | Labial grading |
What phase of the swallow is involuntary where the base of the tongue retracts and the pharyngeal wall squeezes with it to send the bolus down, vocal folds close, larynx goes up, and the main goal is airway protection? | Pharyngeal Phase |
