stable than in acute care but may not be ready to participate in therapy (ready for treatment, not
rehab): True
10.What occurs during the oral preparatory phase of swallowing?: Solids are masticated (principle
muscles for chewing are activated, as well as the lip muscles for oral containment, and the
intrinsic tongue muscles to move the food across the molars)
11.What is the role of the : Levator Veli Palatini in a safe swallow?: raises soft palate

13.What is the role of the : Palatopharyngeus in a safe swallow?: shuts na- sopharynx
14.What is the role of the : Tensor Veli Palatini in a safe swallow?: stretches soft palate
15.The suprahyoid muscles are important in the success of the oral and pharyngeal stage of the
swallow. What is the role of the Mylohyoid?: -Elevates the tongue and floor of mouth
16.T/F- Presbyphagia is defined as the normal changes that occur in swallow- ing secondary to
aging.: True
17.T/F- The thinner the bolus, the more tongue pressure is needed to move the bolus from the oral

worsens.
21.What swallowing difficulties are seen in Parkinson's disease during the severe swallowing
disability stage of the disease process?: aspiration both during and after the swallow

28.Define: silent aspiration: bolus into the airway, past level of true VF and into trachea with
NO sensory response

of the valleculae)
33.T/F- During the swallow breathing ceases. This cessation of breathing is referred to as apnea:
True
34.What is considered normal in the aging swallow?: Increased laryngeal pen- etration, increased
dwell times in piriforms and vallecula, increased swallow apnea duration
