Summary Introduction
To analyze:
Mrs. Minnick’s contracted a stroke that developed a condition of uncoordinated swallowing. The effects of uncoordinated swallowing on the ability to breathe in case of Mrs. Minnick’s need.
Introduction:
Swallowing and breathing are two separate processes, but still, some organs are common among both these processes. These two processes are slightly interlinked and a balance between the precise regulations of these two processes ensure normal homeostasis. However, an uncoordinated action of these two processes is disastrous for the organism.
