Swallowing anatomy (pharynx)

Показать описание

We can have a look at some more anatomy of the head and neck if we look at the anatomy of swallowing. We need to consider the oral cavity, the tongue and the palate, and then the parts of the pharynx. There are 3 longitudinal muscles of the pharynx that elevate it and the larynx during swallowing, and 3 constrictor muscles of the pharynx that start pushing the bolus of food into the oesophagus. There are a couple of important cranial nerves to focus on.

Also, while we're there - the gag reflex!

Everybody cannot teach. Teaching is art, and Prof. Sam Webster is an artist.

Sam Webster videos suggested by so many students who passed the Boards in the USA... Now I found out why they love these videos so much...Best teacher I have ever seen...They are telling Anatomy is Sam Webster and Sam Webster is anatomy.

As an elderly woman (78), something seems to get *stuck* every day. I also love medicine, had a former assistant training in Germany, was (!) married to a doctor and should have studied medicine myself instead of supporting a *selfish young doctor* through medical school.
I recently had a violent food allergy caused by the touching shells of shrimps. My tongue swell up and touched the palette, had a white slimy surface with lots of blisters and swallowing became really difficult. A NP gave me a steroid treatment for a week, the Pandemic happened and I haven't seen a doctor yet.
Watching this video really explains to me what is happening. It looks like my *restrictor muscles* are not working properly since I have trouble clearing my throat from Saliva or flim.
I will be very proud to explain to my physician what I think is happening. These videos of Prof. Sam Webster must be a *God sent* for medical students.

Hello Sam!
I have started studying medicine here in Germany a couple of weeks ago and I was so so overwhealmed with everything because there is so much to learn when starting of from 0. Even right now I am very scared of the upcoming first test about neck and thorax. However, I must admit that your videos have helped me a great deal understanding the more functional side of things and easing my mind aboutl I admire your excitement and interest in the topic and I didnt expect anybody to be able to make me chuckle when talking about the gag relfex. So yeah, thank you and keep up the amazing work!

As someone who has had oropharyngeal cancer (tonsil) and received radiation therapy this is a great and informative video. During and after treatment swallowing was quite a effort.

Sam Webster - is a passionate teacher - love his videos and which are well worth looking especially after a long library cruise in learning anatomy. I think the paradigm of learning the basic medical sciences has changed with book reading ably supplemented by anatomy training videos. Dr Webster is a star in that - wishing him all success !!!...
