musculature of the tongue. These muscle bundles join and extend posteriorly. They make up the wall of the pharynx and meet in the midline dorsally in the pharyngeal raphe (Figs. 17, 18).
The middle pharyngeal constrictor extends from the hyoid processes and from the stylohyoid ligament. This ligament runs from the styloid process in the skull base to the minor processes of the hyoid bone. It then extends as a plate posteriorly and superiorly, joining the muscles from the other side in the pos­terior midline in the pharyngeal raphe (Figs. 18, 19).
The inferior pharyngeal constrictor extends from the cricoid cartilage, from the thyroid cartilage, and also from the lateral thyrohyoid ligament (Figs. 17,
18, 19, 20). This muscle extends somewhat superiorly
and posteriorly surrounding the pharynx and joining the muscle from the other side in a pharyngeal raphe in the posterior midline. Inferiorly the pharyngeal constrictors form a superiorly convex arch.
There are several muscles that elevate the pharynx. The stylopharyngeal muscle extends from the styloid process and its surroundings at the skull base and
2.2.4 The Pharyngoesophageal Segment
The pharyngeal constrictorsmake up the muscle wall of thepharynxalmost from the skullbaseanddownintothe esophagus. Inferiorly to the constrictors there is one more muscle, namely, the cricopharyngeal muscle (Zainoetal.1970;Fig. 20).Thismuscleismadeupofan oblique portion, a transverse portion (which makes up the bulk of the muscle), and a longitudinal portion of muscle bundles inferiorly. The oblique part extends obliquely, superiorly, and posteriorly from the lateral part of the cricoid cartilage. It is close to the inferior constrictor. Like the latter muscle, it is usually consid­ered that the oblique muscles connect in the pharyngeal raphe. This portion of the cricopharyngeal muscle is anatomically and functionally the inferior (small) por­tion of the pharyngeal constrictors. The transverse or semicircular portion extends posteriorly from the pos­terior and lateral part of the cricoid cartilage. Where the two muscles merge in the posterior midline there is no fibrous raphe. The two longitudinal muscles, also called esophageal elevators,extendfrom the inferior portionof

the cricoid cartilage and extend on each side of the esophagus, where they jointhe longitudinal musculature of the esophagus,which in turns comes from the median part of the lamina of the cricoid cartilage. Normally the inferior constrictor muscle overlaps the cricopharyngeal muscle, which in turn overlaps the circular muscle of the esophagus (Ekberg and Lindström 1987). However, between the oblique and transverse part of the crico­pharyngeal muscles there is a small triangular gap which is a weak point called Killian’s opening or Laimer’s tri­angle. It is through this weak area that the Zenker diverticulum extends. Laterally, there is a similar weak point inferior to the transverse portion and above the insertion of the longitudinal portion of the cricoid mus­cles. Through this gap the Killian–Jamieson diverticula extend (Jamieson 1934).
2.3 The Larynx
During swallowing, the larynx acts like a valve that closes off the airways from the foodway. The closure of the larynx is achieved by the following mecha­nisms. The tilting down of the epiglottis is achieved in a clear-cut two-step fashion. The first movement is

cartilage (T) seen anteriorly. The mylohyoid (plain arrow) and thyrohyoid (crossed arrow) muscles are indicated
from the upright resting position of the epiglottis to a transverse position. This movement can be explained as consequential to the elevation of the hyoid bone and the approximation between the thyroid cartilage and the hyoid bone. This movement of the epiglottis is thereby the result of contraction of the muscles that elevate the hyoid bone, namely, the stylohyoid, digas­tric, mylohyoid, and geniohyoid muscles. In addition, the thyrohyoid muscle approximatesthe hyoid bone and the thyroid cartilage. The epiglottis is laterally fixed by the pharyngoepiglottic plicae and, during laryngeal elevation and thyroid approximation to the hyoid bone, is tilted to the transverse position with these plicae as turning points. The second movement of the epiglottis has been attributed either to the passing bolus which should push the movable lip of the epiglottis further down into the esophageal inlet or to the peristaltic contraction in the pharyngeal constrictor musculature. It is more probable that the second movement of the
epiglottis is accomplished by one of the muscles that inserts on the epiglottis. These muscles are the stylo­pharyngeal, thyroepiglottic, and aryepiglottic muscles. Noneof these muscleshavesucha directionthattheyare able to tilt the epiglottis down from its upright resting position. However, when the epiglottis has attained a transverse position, the conditions may have changed. Still, the stylopharyngeal muscle cannot possibly bring about the second movement, and it is more likely that a contraction in this muscle results in a tilting back of the epiglottis to the upright position. It is possible that the aryepiglottic muscle may be able to pull the epiglottis downwards against the ‘‘ary’’ region, but never as far down as into the esophageal inlet. When these two muscles have been excluded, the thyroepiglottic muscle remains as an able candidate to accomplish the tilting down of the epiglottis. With the epiglottis in the trans­verse position this muscle has a favorable direction in relation to the epiglottis. A contraction of the thyroepi­glottic muscle is therefore very likely to pull the epiglottis down over the ary region. Furthermore, it will change the form of the epiglottis from a downward convexformtoanupwardconvexform.Acontractionof the aryepiglottic muscle in this new position of the epi­glottis with its tip in the esophageal inlet will tighten the laryngeal inlet in the same manner as the string in a

tobacco pouch. It is possible to distinguish two different steps in the closure of the vestibule, both of which are clearly separated from the closure of the rima glottidis. In the first step the supraglottic space of the vestibule is closedby the appositionof the lateralwalls.Thisclosure of the supraglottic space is caused by contraction and thickening of the superior portion of the thyroarytenoid muscle. The compressed supraglottic space has an ori­entation in the sagittal plane.
In the second step the closure of the vestibule is effected by a compression of the subepiglottic space from below. This is caused by the posterior aspect of the epiglottis with its superimposed fat cushion that is gradually pressed against the prominence of the ary region. The compressed subepiglottic space has an orientation nearly in the horizontal plane, with its anterior part more caudally than the posterior part. The tilting down of the epiglottis is probably due to a contraction of the thyroepiglottic muscles. A backward bulging of the superior–anterior wall of the vestibule is achieved by a folding of the median soft tissue linking the thyroid cartilage to the hyoid bone. This tissue comprises the epiglottic cartilage, the preepiglottic fat cushion, and its bounding ligaments, namely, the thy­roepiglottic, the median thyrohyoid, and the hyoepi­glottic ligaments. In analogy with other folds in this
region the above structures have been designated ‘‘the median thyrohyoid fold’’ (Fink 1976).
The described sequence of events in the closure of the vestibule by a compression from below—the supraglottic followed by the subepiglottic space—is important as it implies a peristaltic-like mechanism that can clear the vestibule of bolus material. After a swallowing act, the vestibule is free from foreign particles when it opens again.
The thyroepiglottic muscle and the aryepiglottic muscles pull the epiglottis downwards over the lar­yngeal inlet (Fig. 22). The aryepiglottic muscle runs within thearyepiglottic folds from the ary cartilage in a superior andanterior direction and inserts on thelateral border of the epiglottis (Fig. 22). Within the larynx there are several muscles, namely, the dorsal cricoar­ytenoid muscles, the lateral cricoarytenoid muscles, and the arytenoid muscle (Figs. 23, 24). The dorsal cricoarytenoid muscle runs from the posterior surface of the cricoid cartilage superiorly and laterally to insert on the lateral and inferior corner of the arytenoid cartilage. The lateral arytenoid muscle runs from the lateral part on the cricoid cartilage superiorly and posteriorly to insert in the same area as the prior described muscle. The arytenoid muscle runs between the two arytenoid cartilages and has a pars recta and

It creates a muscle plate that laterally covers the larynx and the inlet to the lar­ynx. The inferior portion is more bulky and it is made up of a lateral part and a vocal part. This latter is often

called the vocalis muscle within the vocal folds. The somewhat weaker and superior portion of the thyroar­ytenoid muscle is sometimes called the ventricularis muscle because it forms the ventricular fold. The thy­roarytenoid muscle closes the rima glottidis and at the same time compresses the inferior portion of the laryngeal vestibule which we callthe supraglottic space.

The two valleculae are separated in the midline by a mucosal fold, the median glossoepiglottic fold (Figs. 26, 27).Thetongue base and valleculae contain a rich network of lymphatic tissue. The vallecula may also contain vessels in the submucosa, which causes a weblike appearance (Ekberg et al. 1986). Further infe-

4 Neuroanatomy and Physiology
of Swallowing
The esophagus is made up of three layers, the mucosa, the submucosa, and the muscularis (Fig. 30). The mucosa is made of squamous cell epithelium. Under the epithelium there is a submucosal layer of musculature as everywhere else in the alimentary canal. The mucosa also contains glands and vessels. The mucosa has a tendency to create longitudinal mucosal folds.
The esophagus has two layers of muscles, an inner circular and an outer longitudinal muscle layer. The longitudinal muscles insert on the posterior aspect of the lamina of the cricoid cartilage. The upper third of the esophagus is made up of striated musculature, whereas the lower two thirds is smooth muscles. The transitional zone, however, has a varying position. The circular muscle layer is thinner cranially and increases in thickness distally. Between the two muscle layers there are a multitude of neurons in a plexus formation (Auerbach’s plexus). In this there
There are several reviews on the neuroanatomy and neurophysiologyof swallowing, the mostcontemporary by Miller (1999). Several of the cranial nerves are involved in the control of swallowing (Perlman and Christensen 1997). Oral sensation is transmitted in the trigeminal nerve. Efferent information in the trigeminal nervegoestothe mylohyoidmuscle,the anteriorbellyof the digastric muscle, and the four muscles of mastica­tion: the masseter, temporalis, and pterygoid muscles.
Taste sensation is mediated in the facial nerve. Efferent control from the facial nerve goes to the salivary glands and to muscles of facial expression, the stylohyoid and platysma muscles, as well as the posterior belly of the digastric muscle.
The glossopharyngeal nerve conveys taste infor­mation from the posterior part of the tongue. It also conveys sensation from the pharynx. It innervates only the stylopharyngeal muscle efferently.

The vagus nerve is the most important nerve for swallowing. It innervates the pharyngeal and laryngeal mucosa. The recurrent laryngeal nerve conveys sensa­tion from below the vocal folds and also the esophagus. Efferent control in the vagus nerve comes from the ambiguus nucleus (striated muscle) and the posterior nucleusof the vagus nerve (smooth muscles and glands).
The hypoglossal nerve provides efferent control of all the intrinsic and some of the extrinsic muscles of the tongue.
The locations of the central swallowing pathways include several cortical and subcortical regions. One such area is located immediately in front of the pre­central sulcus cortex. Stimulation in this area evokes mastication followed by swallowing. It is likely that the cortical and subcortical areas merely modify swallowing as pharyngeal and esophageal swallowing can be evoked also in the absence of these areas. This

indicates that the brainstem is the primary swallowing area.
Afferent information from the oral cavity and pharynx is mediated via the vagus nerve and other nerves to the nucleus of the solitary tract in the brainstem. Close to the nucleus of the solitary tract is an afferent swallowing center that interprets the information. If it is found appropriate for swallowing, information goes to a swallowing center close to the ambiguus nucleus. Control of the pharynx is managed from that swallowing center. Information also goes to a dorsal swallowing center close to the pos­terior nucleus of the vagus nerve. The oral stage of

swallowing is completely voluntary, whereas the pha­ryngeal stage of swallowing is automatic. This automatism means that there is a none-or-all situation. Once the pharyngeal swallow has been elicited, it is always completed. It is not modified during the pha­ryngeal swallowing process and it cannot be inter­rupted. Swallowing has priority over other activities controlled from the ambiguus nucleus such as breath­ing, speech, and positioning. The esophageal stage of
