How many muscles are involved in mastication and deglutition? - ✔✔55
What does the mandible elevators and depressors do for mastication and deglutition -
✔✔chewing
What does the intrinsic muscles do for mastication and deglutition - ✔✔chewing and
preparing the bolus, posterior propulsion
what does the velar elevators and tensors do for mastication and deglutition - ✔✔protect
nasal cavity
what do the pharyngeal constrictors do for mastication and deglutition - ✔✔move bolus down
pharynx
what does the laryngeal elevators do for mastication and deglutition - ✔✔protect airway
deficits in oral prep stage (3 deficits) - ✔✔muscle weakness in tongue and bucall can cause
pocketing of food in buccal cavity
weak muscles of mastication can cause half chewed food
weak velum muscles may leave the velum not fully depressed and back of tongue elevated-
food can easily slip down and get stuck in airway bc glottis & vocal folds aren't closed, which can
cause aspiration or aspiration pneumonia
