It’s an action we perform many times throughout the day without consciously thinking about it (about 580 times to be exact). Yet, without it we would never be able to receive the nutrients we intake daily. Swallowing is a simple enough action, but extremely important for our overall health. Here we will look more at the mechanics of swallowing and how our body makes it, for the most part, effortless. In general, when we consume food, our teeth chew and break it down into a soft circular mass called a bolus. Your tongue will then push this mass backward until it reaches your pharynx. From here the bolus passes into the esophagus with the epiglottis acting as a lid closing off the airway and preventing the food from going back in the wrong direction. The bolus can then travel downward to the stomach with the help of gravity and peristalsis of the esophagus. When we voluntarily want to swallow, we send signals to the precentral gyrus (the primary motor area), posterior-inferior gyrus, and the frontal gyrus in our cerebral cortex of the brain. Information from these areas then crossover to the brainstem into the swallowing center of the medulla oblongata. There are also nerve signals that happen in your mouth that start firing as soon as you start chewing your food. These sensory nerve signals are found in the mouth, pharynx, and larynx and send messages to the sensory cortex of the brain and eventually the medulla. The medulla can then take the sensory information and dictate the efforts of the muscles of chewing. The involuntary component of swallowing comes into play when we look at the stages of the bolus when it is in the pharynx and esophagus. Here you can experience the swallowing reflex. This is an elaborate involuntary reflex that involves the swallowing center of the medulla. Once activated, neurons in the brainstem send patterned discharges of inhibition and excitation to motor nuclei of the cranial nerves. Rhythmic contractions of several muscles in the back of the mouth, pharynx, and esophagus push the food down. Breathing stops while the epiglottis involuntarily covers the airway, and the vocal folds adduct preventing any backflow. Breathing stops while the epiglottis involuntarily covers the airway, and the vocal folds adduct preventing any backflow. A healthy person can perform this whole process easily and without much thought, however, if the nervous system has been disturbed by trauma, such as a stroke, dysphagia may be experienced. Dysphagia is a term used for difficulty with swallowing. This can lead to problems such as choking, lack of appetite, weight loss, and aspiration. Speech and swallow therapy can strengthen the swallowing muscles to help improve symptoms as much as possible.

Our mission is to consistently develop tools that serve not only a broad spectrum of medical professionals, educators, and students, but also address the diverse needs of the patients they'll ultimately care for. We're on a journey towards even greater inclusivity, and we're committed to pushing boundaries. We stand united with our LGBTQ+ colleagues, clients, partners, and friends, continually inspired by your dedication and contributions. Here's to celebrating Pride Month and the richness of diversity and inclusivity every day! #CompleteAnatomy #Inclusivity #AppleDesignAward #PrideMonth #InclusiveHealthcare

🔬 Exciting news! Complete Anatomy is expanding once again, presenting five new microscopic 3D models for your teaching journeys. Dive deeper than ever into the sublime intricacies of our bodies - from the pulsating rhythms of smooth muscles to the miracle of human reproduction with spermatogenesis; and from the fascinating duel roles of the humble pancreas to the all-crucial cell membrane. 1️⃣ Spermatogenesis - Spermatogenesis is the process of formation of spermatozoa in the testis. This model shows the progression of spermatogonium to full sperm cell by dissecting a portion out from the seminiferous tubules in the testis. This is a great compliment to our ovary model that shows the progression of oocytes to ovum. 2️⃣ Smooth muscle - Smooth muscle is a type of muscle found in the walls of organs and blood vessels and in the skin. It supplies various involuntary functions to the areas it is present in. A user will be able to compare this model to other types of muscle cell models in CA such as the skeletal muscle. 3️⃣ Small intestine - The small intestine has three parts: the duodenum, jejunum, and ileum. It helps to further digest food coming from the stomach. This model shows all three parts side by side. This allows users to compare and contrast the structures between each area. 4️⃣ Pancreas - The pancreas is an accessory digestive organ with both exocrine and endocrine glandular components. The exocrine component of the pancreas is the part of the pancreas that acts as an exocrine gland, consisting of the pancreatic acini, which produce pancreatic juice and secrete it into the duodenum to aid in protein digestion. Pancreatic islets are irregular microscopic structures scattered throughout the pancreas and comprising its endocrine part. This model allows the user to distinctly see the different cell types that make up this structure and understand their secretions. 5️⃣ Cell membrane - The phospholipid bilayer is the structure common to all biological membranes, consisting of two layers of phospholipids. This model ties in well with our Eukaryotic cell model as they are the two main components to learning biology. With this model users can understand how structures move across the cellular membrane. With the addition of these 5 detailed models, you now have 30 microscopic 3D models to teach with. Check them out now on Complete Anatomy! #CompleteAnatomy #3D4Medical #ElsevierHealth #Micromodels
