Normal Swallow
In order for students in the field of
Speech Pathology to understand, diagnose and provide
treatment for persons with dysphagia, there must first be a
thorough understanding of a "normal" swallow.
The act of deglutition is divided into
four phases:
- Oral Preparatory Phase - food is
manipulated in the mouth and masticated (chewed) if
necessary in order to reduce food to a consistency which
can be swallowed.
- Oral Phase - the tongue propels food
posteriorly until the pharyngeal swallow is
triggered.
- Pharyngeal Phase - once the
pharyngeal swallow is triggered, the bolus (cohesive ball
of food) is transported through the pharynx.
- Esophageal Phase - esophageal
peristalsis carries the bolus from the cricopharyngeal
juncture or upper esophageal sphincter (UES) through the
esophagus to the Lower Esophageal Sphincter
(LES).
This tutorial will allows the student to
view the first three phases of swallowing via
Videofluoroscopy.
