TBL 2 INTER (PROF LINDA)

The ingestion process that occurs in the mouth includes the following:

• Inserting food/drink into the mouth

• Chewing

• Wetting the food with saliva

• Swallowing

• All correct

The importance of chewing well especially for digesting:

• Carbohydrates

• Fat

• Protein

• Raw vegetables and fruits

• Meat

The swallowing phase, which coincides with the cessation of breathing, occurs in:

• Oral phase

• Laryngeal phase

• Pharyngeal phase

• Esophageal phase

• Tracheal phase

In the swallowing phase, the soft palate, moves upwards closing the posterior nares. This serves to

• Prevent the bolus from entering the larynx

• Prevent the bolus from entering the pharynx

• Prevent the bolus from entering the esophagus

• Prevent the bolus from entering the nasal cavity

• Prevent the bolus from entering the oropharynx

During swallowing, the following occurs to prevent food from entering the larynx

• The vocal cords of the epiglottis vibrate

• Breathing reflexively stops

• The proximal esophageal sphincter contracts

• Epiglottis closes the larynx region

• Soft palate closes the larynx region

The loss of taste sensation in taste buds is called:

• Dysgeusia

• Hypogeusia

• Hypergeusia

• Progeusia

• Ageusia

All of the following are eating disorders, except...

• Belching

• Achalasia

• Paralysis of the swallowing mechanism

• Esophageal reflux

• Dysgeusia

Papillae on the tongue with the most taste buds are

• Papilla fungiformis

• Papilla circumvallata

• Papilla foliata

• Papilla filiformis

Good chewing can increase appetite because

• Food is enzymatically broken down

• Contact with taste buds

• Smaller pieces of food

• Olfactorius receptors are stimulated by food odors

• Food surface area increases

The mechanical mastication process that serves to grind food is carried out by

• Saliva

• Incisor teeth

• Canine teeth

• Molar teeth

• Decidui teeth
