| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| voiced sound | the basic sound produced by vocal fold vibration. |
| resonance | voiced sound is amplified and moddified by the vocal tract resonators. |
| articulation | the tongue, soft palate and lips modify the voiced sound |
| larynx | the voice box |
| abduction | vocal folds come apart in order to let air in and out of the lungs |
| adduction | the vocal folds come together to trap air in the lungs |
| pharynx | the throat |
| trachea | windpipe. connects lungs to your throat, top of the trachea |
| esophagus | food pipe carries foth food/water and air |
| spinal column | behind the esophagus |
| diaphragm | underneath the lungs, inside the rib cage. shaped like a dome. main muscle for controlling respiration |
| glottis | space between the two vocal folds. |
| epiglottis | soft cartilage serves as part of the protective swallowing mechanism |
| hyoid bone | horseshoe shaped bone positioned slightly above the thyroid cartilage and is the only bone in the body not connected to any other bone |
| diaphragn, chest muscles, ribs, adominal muscles, lungs | air pressure system. regulates air pressure to cause vocal folds to vibrate |
| voice box (larynx), vocal folds | vibratory system causes vocal folds to vibrate changing air pressure to sound waves, varies pitch of sound |
| vocal tract throat (pharynx), oral cavity, nasal passages | resonating system changes the buzzy sound into a person's recognizable voice. |
| Thyroid Cartilage | forms the front portion of the larynx |
| Thyroid Cartilage | fits over the cricoid cartilage |
| Thyroid Cartilage | most forwaard part comes to a point and comprises the "adam's apple" |
| Thyroid Cartilage | houses the vocal folds |
| Thyroid Cartilage | Hinged so that it can rock down slightly |
| Cricoid cartilage | below the thyroiod cartilage |
| Cricoid cartilage | top ring of the trachea |
| Cricoid cartilage | signet ring: wider in the back than the front |
| Cricoid cartilage | becomes taller in the back of the voice box |
| Cricoid cartilage | Platform for the arytenoid cartilages |
| Arytenoid Cartilages | Pair of small pyramid shaped cartilages |
| Arytenoid Cartilages | connect with the cricoid cartilage at the back of the vocal folds |
| Arytenoid Cartilages | withe the cricoid cartilage, forms the cricoarytenoid joint |
| Arytenoid Cartilages | can rock, glide, and pivot, thus controlling the movement of the vocal folds |
| Thyroarytenoid muscle | shortens and relaxes vacal ligament |
| Thyroarytenoid muscle | position vocal folds in the midline during sound production (close glottis) |
| Thyroarytenoid muscle | Right and left muscles attached to thyroid and arytenoid cartilages on each side |
| Thyroarytenoid muscle | deeper inner fibers referred to as vocalis muscle |
| Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle | muscles that position vocal folds in the midline during sound production (close Glottis) |
| Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle | attached to cricoid and arytenoid cartilage on each side |
| Lateral cricoarytenoid muscle | closes or adducts vaocal folds |
| inter-arytenoid muscle (transverse and oblique) | Musc les that position vocal folds in the midline during sound production (close Glottis) |
| inter-arytenoid muscle (transverse and oblique) | Attached between right and left arytenoid cartilages |
| inter-arytenoid muscle (transverse and oblique) | Closes inlet of larynx |
| Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle | Muscle that moves vocal folds apart (open Glottis) |
| Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle | attached to cricoid and arytenoid cartilages |
| Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle | move arytenoid cartilages so as to move both vocal folds apart, "open" of abduct vocal folds |
| Posterior cricoarytenoid muscle | Role in breathing |
| Vocalis muscle | Muscle that adjust length and tension of vocal folds |
| Vocalis muscle | derived from inner and deeper fibers of thyroarytenoid muscle |
| Vocalis muscle | alters vocal fold tension/relaxation during speaking or singing |
| Vocalis muscle | role in voice production |
| Cricothroid muscle | Muscle that adjust lengthe and tension of vocal folds |
| Cricothroid muscle | attached to cricoid and thyroid cartilages |
| Cricothroid muscle | tilts the thyroid cartilage, thus increasing tension of vocal folds |
| Cricothroid muscle | roled in high pitch singing |
| Cricothroid muscle | role in pitch glide in singing |
