How can I know if my child has

a tongue thrust?
-The most obvious answer is to
have him evaluated by a speech
pathologist. But you may be able
to diagnose this yourself.
-Is he a mouth breather? Does he
keep his tongue between his front
teeth when at rest? These are
signs that he likely has a tongue
thrust.
-Have him take a sip of water and
observe his swallow. Try to pry his
lips apart during the swallow.
There should not be any forward
movement
of
the
tongue.
Generally, children with a tongue

Uses of the Nose

We mostly breathe
through our noses.

We smell things through

our noses.

Our sense of smell helps

us to recognise tastes.

The two holes in your nose

are called nostrils.

The end of your nose can

be wiggled around with your

Skin performs the following

function
1. Protection: an anatomical barrier
from pathogens and damage between
the
internal
and
external environment in
bodily
defense
2. Sensation: contains a variety of nerve
endings that
jump
to heat
and
cold, touch, pressure, vibration,
and tissueinjury
3. Thermoregulation: (sweat) glands and
dilated blood vessels (increased
superficial perfusion) aid heat loss,
while
constricted vessels greatly
reduce
cutaneous blood
flow and
conserve heat.
4. Control of evaporation: the skin
provides a relatively dry and semiimpermeable barrier to reduce fluid
loss.
5. Storage and synthesis: the skin
provides a relatively dry and semiimpermeable barrier to reduce fluid
loss.
6. Absorption:
oxygen, nitrogen and carbon
dioxide can
diffuse
into
the epidermis in
small
amounts;

How the Human Eye Works

1. In a number of ways, the human eye
works much like a digital camera:
2. Light is focused primarily by the
cornea the clear front surface of the
eye, which acts like a camera lens.
3. The iris of the eye functions like the
diaphragm of a camera, controlling the
amount of light reaching the back of the
eye by automatically adjusting the size of
the pupil (aperture).
4. The eye's crystalline lens is located
directly behind the pupil and further
focuses light. Through a process called
accommodation, this lens helps the eye
automatically
focus
on
near
and
approaching objects, like an autofocus
camera lens.
5. Light focused by the cornea and
crystalline lens (and limited by the iris
and pupil) then reaches the retina the
light-sensitive inner lining of the back of
the eye. The retina acts like an electronic
image sensor of a digital camera,
converting optical images into electronic
