    The document discusses the anatomy and physiology of the pharynx and larynx. It describes the pharynx as a conical fibromuscular tube forming the upper part of the air and food passages. It has four layers from outward: mucous membrane, pharyngeal aponeurosis, muscular coat, and buccopharyngeal fascia. The pharynx functions to pass food and air during swallowing and provides taste sensation. The larynx contains vocal cords that produce voice and protects the airway by closing the glottis during swallowing, coughing, and expelling secretions.

    Physiology of

    Pharynx - Larynx

    Ratna Kusumawati
    Bag/Lab. Fisiologi
    FK UNS
    PHARYNX
    - Pharynx is a conical fibromuscular tube
    forming upper part of air and food passages.
    - Structure of Pharyngeal wall from
    outwards 4 layers :
    Mucous membrane
    Pharyngeal aponeurosis
    Muscular coat
    Buccopharyngeal fascia.
    Functions
     As a conduit for passage of food and air.
     Helps in the pharyngeal phase of deglutition.
     Helps in appreciation of taste : taste bubs
    present on the base of tongue,soft
    palate,anterior pillars &post pharyngeal walls.
     Provides local defence & immunity.
     Drainage mucus from nasopharynx
     Reflex action
    Enlarged tonsils
    Functions
     Protective role & act as sentinels at the
    portal of air & food passages.
     Crypts : increase the surface area for
    contact with the foreign substances.
     Removed when themselves become seat
    of infection.
    Basic Functions
     Protection
     Respiration
     Phonation
     Closure of glottis

    Protection
     Acts as a sphincter
    ◦ Closure of the laryngeal
    ◦ Closure of the glottis
    ◦ Cessation of respiration
    ◦ Cough relfex, expulsion of secretions
    and foreign bodies

    7/15/2012 www.nayyarENT.com 16
    Protection

     3 Sphincteric tiers of airway protection:


    ◦ Contraction of superior division of the
    thyroarytenoid muscles
    ◦ Contraction of middle thyroarytenoid fibers
    ◦ Contraction of inferior division of thyroarytenoid

    7/15/2012 www.nayyarENT.com 17
    Phonation in brief
     Voice produced by
    vibration of the vocal
    cords
     Fundamental tone
    produced at the
    larynx
     Modified by
    resonating chambers

    Anatomy and Physiology of
    Normal Swallowing

    Phases of Swallowing
    • Oral/Bucal Phase
    • Pharyngeal Phase
    • Esophageal Phase

    -Facilitated by saliva, mucous secretions


    - Involves mouth, pharynx, esophagus
    1. Buccal phase
     Voluntary
     Moves bolus to
    oropharynx
    2. Pharyngeal phase
    - Involuntary
    - Receptors in oropharynx
    stimulate medulla and pons
    to:
    1. Block mouth with tongue
    2. Block nasopharynx with
    soft palate
    3. Raise larynx to seal
    epiglottis, blocking airways
    4. Relax upper esophageal
    sphincter
    ◦ Bolus is moved through
    pharynx into esophagus
    3. Esophageal stage
    ◦ Upper esophageal
    sphincter closes
    ◦ Gastroesopaheal
    sphincter opens
    ◦ Esophagus controls
    involuntary peristaltic
    movement
    ◦ Epiglottis reopens
    ◦ Bolus moves from
    esophagus to stomach
    Anatomy and Physiology of Normal
    Swallowing
    Abnormal Swallowing

    Dysphagia - difficulty in swallowing


    CAUSES OF DYSPHAGIA

     Structural abnormalities
    ◦ Oesophageal neoplasm
    ◦ Peptic stricture
    ◦ Incarcerated hiatal hernia
     Motility disorders
    ◦ Achalasia
