Foreign Bodies In The Larynx And Tracheobronchial TreeCategory: FOREIGN BODIES IN THE LARYNX AND TRACHEOBRONCHIAL TREE Source: A Manual Of Peroral Endoscopy And Laryngeal Surgery The protective reflexes preventing the entrance of foreign bodies into the lower air passages are: (1) The laryngeal closing reflex and (2) the bechic reflex. Laryngeal closing for normal swallowing consists chiefly in the tilting and the closure of the upper laryngeal orifice. The ventricular bands help but slightly; and the epiglottis and the vocal cords little, if at all. The gauntlet to be run by foreign bodies entering the tracheobronchial tree is composed of: 1. Epiglottis. 2. Upper laryngeal orifice. 3. Ventricular bands. 4. Vocal cords. 5. Bechic blast. The epiglottis acts somewhat as a fender. The superior laryngeal aperture, composed of a pair of movable ridges of tissue, has almost a sphincteric action, in addition to a tilting movement. The ventricular bands can approximate under powerful stimuli. The vocal cords act similarly. The one defect in the efficiency of this barrier, is the tendency to take a deep inspiration preparatory to the cough excited by the contact of a foreign body.
