Speech pathology students worldwide thank you lol

I am telling you... whenever I'm stuck at something and I watch 10 youtube videos on the topic and still don't get it, I browse this channel to watch Dr Mike video on it and it ALWAYS delivers exactly what I needed to understand the topic. Thanks a lot!!!!

Love Dr Mike's way of teaching, the intonation and the writing on board make it so clear and direct. Thank you so much for your great help!

What an incredible explanation , thank u so much dr. Mike

Thank you for making something so complex, simple!

I've been studying for 6 hours on cranial nerves and this helped more than all of that combined. Thank you!

looking for your other cranial nerve decusations, and ended up here, could not stop watching to the end as you are amazing!

Omg !!! Thank you so much! It's so complex but you explained it so effortlessly.

You are amazing at explaining this clearly and concisely

My whole dysphagia class summed up in 8 minutes! Thank you!! I do have one critique...it is not accurate to say that the palate is innervated by the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX). It is innervated by the pharyngeal plexus which does in face contain the glossopharyngeal nerve but it would be more accurate to say it is innervated by the vagus (CN X) instead of CN IX.

Thanks so much Dr. Mike, absolutely fantastic work! Actually, if I may prod your brain, I'd like to solicit your opinion on an injury I'm dealing with. I can't recall how it started, and I can't tell whether it is mechanical, an abrasion, laceration or ulcer. A pulled, torn or damaged muscle, ligament or cartilage. But ESSENTIALLY, I've had a sharp pain right behind my thyroid cartilage, I suspect it's either a cut in my esophagus or possibly some damage to my epiglottis. I've been patiently waiting nearly 2 weeks now and I still experience consistent pain, I believe I notice some improvement, but the problem still persists nearly every time I swallow. Drinking cold beverages seems to make the pain disappear altogether, as you would if you put a burnt digit under cold water, which is why I think it's likely a cut rather than a strained muscle. Any thoughts and or suggestions?

hi, good contents! just one question: isn't the lateral pterigoid muscle's main function to move the jaw on a horizontal plane? I thought the main muscles responsible for opening of the jaw were the suprahyod muscles

If a person elevates their tongue towards the roof of the mouth (their own), will they be inducing the trachea to rise?

Imma just say it, Dr. Mike is fine af.

Does hypothalamus play role in swallowing?
