Note the tongue muscles: styloglossus, genioglossus, and hyoglossus and their attach­ments. Note how the fibers of the genioglossus muscle attach to the inner surface of the mandible and the anterior surface of the hyoid bone. Note nerve fibers from cervi­cal nerve rootlets that travel with the hypoglossal nerve and travel to the strap muscles in the neck.

Figure 1–4. Muscles of the soft palate. Note the fibers of the palatoglossus muscle between the palate and the tongue base. Contraction of
this muscle approximates the soft palate and the tongue base, effectively closing off the back of the oral cavity from the pharynx during oral
bolus preparation and prevents early entrance of the bolus into the pharynx.

This action of the soft palate against the tongue base effectively closes off the back of the oral cavity and prevents the bolus from escaping prematurely into the pharynx. The palate and tongue base constitute the second sphincter in the swallowing system. With the soft palate approximating the tongue base, the nasopharyngeal airway remains open during the oral preparatory phase of swallowing and nasal respi­ration is uninterrupted. Obstruction of the nose and nasopharynx due to any cause such as a mass, severe sep­tal deviation, enlarged nasopharyngeal adenoid tissue, and so on results in dif-
ficulty with the oral preparatory phase of swallowing due to the requirement for nasal breathing during this phase (Figure1–5).
Cranial nerve XII, the hypoglossal nerve, carries the motor nerve fibers that innervate both the intrinsic and extrinsic tongue muscles, except for the palatoglossus muscles (see Figure 1–3). Injury to cranial nerve XII (hypoglossal) can be detected clinically by asking the patient to protrude the tongue. The side of injury will not be able to protrude due to weakness of the musculature on that side and the tip of the tongue will point toward the side of injury.

Respiration is via nasal cavity as the velo­pharyngeal valve closes off the oral cavity and opens the posterior nasopharynx.

Tongue weakness results in difficulty with bolus positioning during the pre­paratory phase of swallowing as well as early spillage of the bolus into the pharynx due to incompetence of the posterior oral cavity sphincter.
A branch of the pharyngeal plexus from the vagus nerve (X) sends motor fibers to innervate the palatoglos­sus muscles (Figure 1–6). These fibers branch from the vagus soon after the nerve exits the skull base. Injury to these nerve fibers results from pathol-
ogy at the skull base or intracranially. Weakness of the palatoglossus muscle impairs the activity of the posterior oral cavity sphincter and results in early escape of the bolus from the oral cavity into the pharynx before the onset of the pharyngeal phase of swallowing.
A high density of mechanoreceptors within and on the surface of the tongue indicates that the tongue is an impor­tant sensory region for determining the size of the bolus. Sensory informa­tion from the anterior two-thirds of the

tongue is carried back to central swal­lowing control centers via the lingual nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve or cranial nerve V (Figure 1–7). Sensory information from the tongue is critical to modulation of bolus preparation and in the coordination of subsequent swal­lowing of the bolus.
Sensory information from the poste­rior one third of the tongue is carried centrally by the glossopharyngeal nerve, or cranial nerve IX (see Figure 1–6). Stimulation of the sensory portion of the glossopharyngeal nerve in the tongue base elicits the pharyngeal protection reflex known as the gag reflex.
Mastication, or chewing, of the bolus involves the masseter muscles, the tem­poralis muscles, and the medial and lateral pterygoid muscles to move the mandible relative to the maxilla. This muscle group is known collectively as the muscles of mastication (Figure 1–8). Motor nerve fibers controlling the con­traction of these muscles are carried in branches of the trigeminal nerve (V) (see Figure 1–7). Unilateral weakness of the muscles of mastication results in asymmetry of jaw opening with swing of the mandible toward the normal side. Information regarding the “hard­ness” of the bolus material is sensed

via muscle spindles in the muscles of mastication during chewing. This infor­mation is relayed to the cerebral central control mechanisms via the trigeminal nerve (V).
Salivation
Successful transfer of a food bolus from the oral cavity into the esophagus requires the mixing of the bolus with saliva. Saliva lubricates and dilutes the bolus to an optimal consistency for swallowing. Saliva contains two major types of protein secretion: an enzyme for digesting starches and mucus for lubricating purposes. Normal salivary secretion ranges from 1.0 to 1.5 liters per day. Saliva also plays an important role in maintaining healthy oral tissues. It is bacteriostatic and controls the patho­genic bacteria normally present in the
oral cavity that are largely responsible for dental caries. The secretion of saliva is controlled by the salivatory nucleus in the brainstem. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic nervous system carry signals from the salivatory nucleus to the salivary glands. The parasympa­thetic nerve fibers arrive in the oral cav­ity as part of the lingual nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve (Guyton, 1981) (Figure 1–7).
ORAL PHASE
The bolus is propelled from the oral cavity into the pharynx during the oral phase of swallowing. The top of the tongue is placed on the superior alveolar ridge behind the maxillary central incisors. Voluntary opening of the pharynx then begins with elevation of the soft palate and depression of the

posterior tongue (see Video 1–1, Straw

Drinking on the companion website). In this way, there is expansion of the pos­terior oral cavity and a chute forms in the tongue base guiding the movement of the bolus into the pharynx. Eleva­tion of the palate occurs as a result of contraction of the levator veli palatini muscle (see Figure 1–4). The levator veli palatini muscle receives motor innerva­tion from the vagus nerve (X) via the pharyngeal plexus (see Figure 1–6). The hyoglossus muscle (innervated by XII) and, to a lesser extent, the styloglos­sus muscle (also innervated by XII) are active in posterior tongue depression. The anterior half of the tongue is then
pressed against the maxillary alveo­lar ridge and the anterior half of the hard palate in rapid sequence, moving the bolus posteriorly on the dorsum of the tongue. Coordinated and effec­tive tongue movement, full range of tongue motion, and tongue strength are imperative for the efficient transfer of the bolus from the oral cavity into the pharynx. Tongue muscle weakness, cra­nial nerve XII injury, or tethering of the tongue secondary to injury or surgery can prevent adequate tongue function and can impair bolus movement into the pharynx.

escape forward, out of the mouth, or laterally during bolus movement into the pharynx. Patients with facial muscle weakness have difficulty with the oral phase of swallowing due to the incom­petence of the first valve, the lips. Try a “dry” swallow of saliva with the lips open for a firsthand experience of the difficulty created by a failure of the anterior oral sphincter!
During the oral phase of swallowing, soft palate elevation allows the bolus to pass through the tonsillar pillars and into the oropharynx. Once the soft palate is fully elevated, it contacts the adjacent pharyngeal walls in a valving action that acts to prevent penetration of the bolus or escape of air pressure into the nasopharynx. The side walls of the nasopharynx, consisting of the superior pharyngeal constrictor mus­cles, oppose the soft palate to make a
more forceful closure of the nasophar­ynx. The superior pharyngeal constric­tor is suspended from the skull base via the pharyngobasilar fascia and the paired muscles meet and attach to one another in the posterior midline (see Figure 1–9). The anterior attachments of the superior pharyngeal constrictor include the inferior aspect of the pter­ygoid plates, the buccinator muscle, and the inner surface of the mandible (Figure 1–10).
The effective closing of the naso­pharynx, along with the cessation of nasal respiration, is required to pre­vent pressure or bolus escape into the nasopharynx and weakening the forces that drive the bolus inferiorly into the pharynx. In this way, the soft palate has a dual sphincteric function with respect to swallowing. Along with the tongue base, the soft palate is part

of the sphincter at the posterior part of the oral cavity that prevents premature movement of the bolus into the pharynx during the preparatory phase of swal­lowing and the soft palate also forms a sphincter with the superior pharyn­geal constrictor muscles between the nasopharynx and the oropharynx dur­ing the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing. Motor nerve fibers from the vagus nerve (X) via the pharyngeal plexus innervate the superior pharyn­geal constrictor and palatal muscula­ture (see Figure 1–6). Palatal defects or weakness result in early spillage of the bolus into the pharynx during the preparatory phase of swallowing and reflux of bolus into the nasopharynx during the oral and pharyngeal phases of swallowing. Even if bolus movement is not significantly impacted by palatal
pathology, forces needed for effective bolus movement are impaired by pres­sure escape from the active swallowing chamber (the oropharynx) through the incompetent sphincter (palate to naso­pharyngeal walls) (Figure 1–11).
Toward the end of the preparatory phase of swallowing, the hyoid bone is moderately elevated in preparation for the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. The anterior displacement of the hyoid bone pulls open the anterior-posterior dimension of the pharynx. This expan­sion of the pharyngeal chamber creates a vacuum within the oropharynx that aids in movement of the bolus into the pharynx. Early hyoid bone elevation occurs primarily as a result of mylohy­oid muscle contraction. The mylohyoid muscle attaches to the lateral interior of the mandible and joins the opposite
