What's the difference between deglutition and deglutitory?

Deglutition


Definition:

  • (n.) The act or process of swallowing food; the power of swallowing.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Six patients had miniplates used to repair the thyroid cartilage defect after type I thyroplasty to prevent lateralization of the Silastic implant; three patients had miniplates used after hemilaryngectomy to bridge the thyroid cartilage remnants, resulting in better deglutition after hemilaryngectomy; and three patients had miniplates used to repair laryngeal fractures.
  • (2) Parapharyngeal space can be defined as a potential space surrounded by deglutitional and masticator muscles and their covering, superficial and middle layer of deep cervical fascia.
  • (3) Any method employed for the control of drooling must still allow a sufficient volume of flow for mastication, deglutition and oral hygiene.
  • (4) In addition, we performed cricopharyngeal myotomy to prevent postoperative deglutition disorders.
  • (5) Fifty-one patients with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) underwent videofluoroscopy during barium swallow to evaluate the incidence of oropharyngeal deglutition abnormalities and to correlate the radiologic patterns of esophageal motility abnormalities with patients' clinical features.
  • (6) A variety of unsuspected deglutition abnormalities were documented, indicating the usefulness of radiographic evaluation after NFCE.
  • (7) In 1761, while still an apprentice surgeon, he made his discovery of the unique and bizarre cause--compression of the oesophagus by an aberrant right subclavian artery--of a fatal case of 'obstructed deglutition' for which he coined the term 'dysphagia lusoria' and for which he is eponymously remembered.
  • (8) The movement of barium bolus in one deglutition will be demonstrated exactly and except any failure.
  • (9) However, central ET-1 was ineffective in evoking swallowing responses when microinjected into glutamate-responsive deglutitive sites in the NTS.
  • (10) Depending on the degree of patency, the patulous tube showed either a synchronous change of the tympanal pressure with that of the pharyngeal cavity or an early and sudden drop of the tympanal pressure without deglutition.
  • (11) We studied the genesis of isolated LES relaxation in anesthetized opossums by observing the response of four components of the deglutition reflex (mylohyoid electrical activity, pharyngeal contraction, esophageal peristalsis, and LES relaxation) to pharyngeal tactile stimulation, electrical stimulation of superior laryngeal nerve (SLN) afferents or cervical vagal efferents, and to balloon distention of the esophageal body.
  • (12) We have found this simple procedure to yield adequate tongue bulk for normal speech and deglutition.
  • (13) The analysis compared videofluoroscopy with CT and endoscopic assessment, since videofluoroscopy is the only imaging method that can record dynamic motility changes during deglutition.
  • (14) Study parameters included posttreatment respiration, deglutition, taste, smell, and hearing function; articulation and voice analysis; and social, communicative, and vocational adjustment.
  • (15) To clarify this issue further, esophageal ligations were performed to prevent deglutition in utero in 63 fetal rabbits during the final trimester of pregnancy.
  • (16) The aim is to reduce the free space between the roof and floor of the oral cavity to permit stronger lingual propulsion during oral deglutition and better linguopalatal contact during articulation.
  • (17) These anatomic connections include the intimate relationship between the eustachian tube and the pharyngobasilar fascia, the attachment of the muscles of mastication and deglutition to the skull base, and vascular and nervous structures in the foramina.
  • (18) The mammalian upper respiratory tract is a functionally dynamic region involved in respiration, deglutition, and phonation.
  • (19) The patient is left after surgical management with a defect that often prevents effective speech, deglutition, and mastication.
  • (20) The main components in normal situation of deglutition of saliva, water or yogurt show a frequent variability.

Deglutitory


Definition:

  • (a.) Serving for, or aiding in, deglutition.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) Follow-up by manometry revealed in some cases an increase in post-deglutitory motor activity and in two cases a return of a coordinated peristalsis.
  • (2) Micropneumophoretic ejection of 5-HT 5-50 pmol either produced deglutitory responses or selectively facilitated the S-glutamate-evoked pharyngeal responses when applied in 1-10 pmol prepulses.
  • (3) Seven dogs survived both surgeries but showed deglutitory difficulty 6 days postoperatively due to the grafted esophageal segments becoming severely strictured in each case.
  • (4) For patients who may have significantly impaired deglutitory and articulatory functions after glossectomy, an important aspect of the rehabilitative management in our institution is the use of palatal augmentation prostheses.
  • (5) Articulatory and deglutitory functions were evaluated on a scaled score ranging from 0 to 10 points.
