Questions and Answers

What are the key points of feeding and swallowing?

Feeding refers to any aspect of eating or drinking when assisted by a caregiver. Swallowing is the process of transporting bolus from mouth to gut. Feeding and swallowing are important for early caregiver-child relationship and bonding. Feeding and swallowing play a critical role in learning, particularly early learning. Feeding and swallowing are closely linked to cultural and social activities.

What are the oral structures involved in swallowing and speech?

Oral structures include lips, cheeks, tongue, teeth, jaw, hard and soft palate.

Why is normal swallowing dependent on typical anatomy and physiology?

Normal swallowing assumes typical anatomy and physiology because the development of oral structures underlies the functions of sucking, swallowing, and speech.

Study Notes

Feeding and Swallowing

  • Feeding and swallowing are complex processes that involve the coordination of multiple oral and pharyngeal structures.
  • The process of swallowing can be divided into three stages: oral, pharyngeal, and esophageal.
  • The oral stage involves the manipulation of food by the tongue and the formation of a bolus, which is then swallowed.

Oral Structures Involved in Swallowing and Speech

  • The oral structures involved in swallowing and speech include the lips, tongue, teeth, and hard and soft palates.
  • The lips are responsible for retaining food and liquid in the oral cavity.
  • The tongue plays a crucial role in manipulating food and forming a bolus.
  • The teeth are involved in the mechanical breakdown of food.
  • The hard and soft palates separate the oral and nasal cavities and play a role in speech articulation.

Normal Swallowing and Typical Anatomy and Physiology

  • Normal swallowing is dependent on typical anatomy and physiology, including the correct structure and function of the oral and pharyngeal structures.
  • The nervous system, including the brain and cranial nerves, plays a critical role in controlling the swallowing process.
  • Any disruption to the normal anatomy and physiology of the oral and pharyngeal structures can result in swallowing difficulties or dysphagia.
