Topics of this game:
- Difficulty in swallowing; swallowing disorder occurring as a result of neurological or structural problem
- Structures function to protect the airway from food, and generally to keep air out of the esophagus
- Upper jaw
- Lower jaw
- Leaf shaped structure; Assists in closing larynx
- Food tube
- Airway
- Back of the pharynx
- CP; UES- Upper Esophageal Sphincter; PES- Pharyngeal Esophageal Sphincter; opens to permit food to enter the esophagus; ring at top of esophagus
- Point of attachment for muscles; Doesn’t connect to any other bone; VERY Important
- Connects arytenoid cartilage to epiglottis. Borders the vestibule
- false and true
- Space between the vocal folds. Leads to the trachea
- Region between epiglottis and vocal folds
- Space between the epiglottis and base of the tongue
- Space above the UES
- Mouth
- Nose
- The throat
- Behind the mouth
- Behind the nose
- Below the oropharynx
- Oral Preparatory, Oral Transit, Pharyngeal, Esophageal
- Food or liquid; whatever is swallowed; food or liquid that one chews/manipulates and swallows
- Chewing and movement of the bolus with the tongue/teeth/cheeks
- The tongue elevates the food to the back of the oral cavity to be swallowed
- The base of the tongue retracts, and a series of movements in the pharynx send the bolus down the esophagus; less than 2 seconds
- Send the bolus toward the stomach in a peristalis mov't, lower esophageal sphincter opens to permit food to enter the stomach
- Contractions of the esophagus to send the bolus toward the stomach
- Like applesauce, pudding
- Like fruit cocktail
- Like cookie, cracker, meat
- Thin, nectar, honey and pudding
- Videofluoroscopy and Transnasal Endoscopy
- Positioning and swallowing maneuvers; exercise; oral hygiene; diet manipulations; education; therapeutic feedings; tube feeding
