This is a creative exercise. Using PowerPoint or similar, prepare a short (STRICTLY NO LONGER than 3 minutes) video describing the role of the structures listed to an audience of your peers, as they relate to the case study below. You may use pre-existing images or diagrams to aid in your explanation, though these must be appropriately referenced. You cannot use pre-existing videos or gifs. 

NOTE: You will only be marked on the accuracy, detail and clarity of diagrams and presentation NOT your artistic ability or video editing skills (only the content is important)

Marking guide:

Accurate and concise explanation of the anatomy and their role in the functions mentioned 20 marks

Effective use of visual media to supplement explanation 10 marks

Meets requirements see Rubric: Not Satisfactory

Requirements:

• This is an oral presentation, you must record your own voice to narrate the .ppt slide. You are required to be physically present in the video. We suggest using zoom to record your video.  

• Record your video in a quiet space (using headphones/ microphone if available can help with audio clarity). Do not speed up your presentation to condense it within the available time

• Students are expected to use multiple diagrams (either source or make your own) for their presentation

• Students must reference each source, where appropriate (e.g. acknowledge the use of programs such as Biorender to create an image AND/OR acknowledge if they directly use an image from a PubMed article). Create a separate reference list as a word document or pdf and upload in the second field.

• Refer to the Monash Library Guide for referencing technique - select either APA6, Harvard or Vancouver style

• The video length must be approximately 90 seconds (no longer than 3 minutes)

• Convert your video file to MP4

• Put your name on the file and upload below

Case Study:

Swallowing, or deglutition, is a complex and rapid process that

transfers the food bolus from the mouth through the pharynx and

esophagus into the stomach. A normal deglutition is dependent upon a

variety of factors, including bolus characteristics and voluntary

control. Structural or functional changes in the oral cavity, pharynx,

larynx or esophagus may lead to dysphagia, or difficulty with

swallowing.

Using your knowledge of anatomy describe the following as they relate to the case study:

• the role of the teeth and tongue in mechanical digestion

• the role of the salivary glands in chemical digestion

• the swallowing process including the oral, pharyngeal and esophageal phase
