Topic: Pharyngeal



  
 Oral Pharyngeal Dysphagia
Swallowing therapy techniques are used to effect a change in the physiology of the oral and pharyngeal swallow.
The objective of relaxing the pharyngeal musculature before and after the occurrence of a swallow is explained to the patient.
Although further investigation is required to specifically document the correlation, clinical practice demonstrates a functional relationship between increased pharyngeal constriction and contraction of the submandibular musculature.

Radical changes take place as these tissues grow into our maturing neck and face, but the underlying principles of movement established in the jawless fishes remains much the same today: Unpleasant sensations cause cranial nerves to constrict our eye, nose, mouth, and throat openings, while pleasant sensations dilate our facial orifices.
Today, paleocircuits (consisting of special visceral nerves) mediate displays of emotion as they cause our branchiomeric muscles to contract.
Usage: Many facial expressions derive from the muscles and nerves of pharyngeal arches.

This mechanism is observed to constitute the principal "pharyngeal articulator." This interpretation views the pharyngeal stop as auditorily equivalent to what has been called a "massive glottal stop," and to what has been called an "epiglottal stop." The pharyngeal stop is represented by the IPA symbol for an epiglottal stop [ʡ].
This articulation is an intervocalic voiceless pharyngeal trill, [ixi].
Requiring greater stricture than the homorganic pharyngeal approximant [ʕ], this articulation also involves the aryepiglottic folds pressing against the base of the epiglottis to effect a trill.

 Pharyngeal - definition of Pharyngeal in Encyclopedia
In mammals, it is where the digestive tract and the respiratory tract cross, commonly called the "throat" (which term may also include the larynx).
The human pharynx is bent at a sharper angle than other mammal pharynges, enabling us to produce a wider variety of sounds, but also putting us in danger of choking.
The human pharynx is divided into three sections: the nasopharynx, lying behind the nasal cavity; the oropharynx, behind the oral cavity; and the laryngopharynx, posterior to the larynx.
