ObjectiveClearance of the pharynx by deglutition, which removes matter that could be aspirated, is important in protecting the airways and lungs against aspiration. The deglutition and respiratory phase patterns during sleep in the aged with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) were investigated....
Deglutition problems in head and neck cancer patients: Implications for the speech pathologistSummaryPatients with head and neck cancer frequently have swallowing impairment. Speech pathologists may overlook these patients unless there is an accompanying speech problem. The association of dysphagia and ...
Deglutition is the scientific name for the process of swallowing, taking a bolus (chewed up food), and passing it through the throat into the esophagus and finally reaching the stomach. Part of the process is under voluntary control and other parts under involuntary control.Answer and Explanation...
Ingestion is taking in raw materials and converting them into components that are used by the body. The first stage in digestion is chewing, which breaks down food into smaller pieces to be digested more efficiently. Answer and Explanation:1 The deglutition apnea reflux is a condition that affe...
Using a special method of smoothing of single tachycardia waves, we found that in young healthy subjects the mean contribution of deglutition-induced tachycardia waves to the power of low-frequency heart rate oscillations is 42%.doi:10.1007/BF02433278V. M. Khayutin...
A time-bin scoring system was used to ensure that low-frequency behaviors (e.g., lateral tongue protrusions) contribute equally to the hedonic or aversive score of each animal as do high-frequency behaviors (e.g., rhythmic tongue protrusions). Rhythmic mouth movements, passive dripping, ...
This chapter aims at describing the physiology of the larynx through its different functions: breathing, protection of the airway, and phonation. It focuses on the neurological aspects of this physiology. The patterns of muscular activations during the different tasks are described, with special mentio...
In 24 Seconds: “Purring results from the low-frequency oscillation of the caudal portion of the soft palate, which is more elongated in cats than other mammalian species. This places the feline soft palate and the laminal airstream betwen the posterior choana and the rima glottis, resulting ...
They reduced the delay in swallowing initiation, hastened triggering of pharyngeal swallowing in patients with neurogenic dysphagia and even led to a reduced frequency of radiographically observed aspiration. This suggests that afferents from the oral-pharyngeal chemoreceptors can facilitate deglutition [36...
in the dorsal medulla oblongata [37,38,39], and the solitary nucleus and nucleus ambiguous coordinate swallowing [40,41,42]. In an awake state, individuals swallow involuntarily more than once per minute. The frequency of swallowing is increasing to about > 5 times per minute during meals ...
