Question
Answer
When vocal folds are separated   abduction  
🗑
when vocal folds are brought together   adduction  
🗑
opening to the larynx formed by epiglottis in front, ends at arytenoids in back, aryepiglottic folds on side   aditus laryngis  
🗑
angle formed by union of laminae   angle of the thyroid  
🗑
narrow band in the front (part of cricoid cartilage)   anterior arch  
🗑
anterior attachment of the vocal folds-diverge as they course toward posterior commissure   anterior commisure  
🗑
type of cuneiform cartilage, forms entrance to larynx, extend from sides of epiglottis to apexes of arytenoids   aryepiglottic fold  
🗑
dramatic increase in airflow across a gradient. "If volume fluid flow is constant, velocity of flow must increase at an area of constriction, but with a corresponding decrease of pressure at the constriction   Bernoulli Effect  
🗑
holds cricothyroid joint in place (posterior, lateral, anterior)   ceratocricoid ligament  
🗑
lower portion of the internal (elastic) laryngeal membrane-well defined   conus elasticus  
🗑
"horns" that project off of the hyoid bone   cornua  
🗑
posterior: restricts extent of forward movement of arytenoid cartilage, imposes constraints on extent of any gliding movements. Anterior. Often absent, poorly developed. May limit backward movement of arytenoid.   cricoarytenoid ligament  
🗑
attaches inferior border of cricoid cartilage to first tracheal ring-holding cricoid in place. thicker than others.   Cricotracheal membrane  
🗑
recording the electrical energy generated by active muscles   electromyography  
🗑
those that have one attachment to structures outside the larynx. Responsible for suppport of the larynx.   extrinsic laryngeal muscles  
🗑
a voice register above the middle or head register. (highest pitch)   falsetto  
🗑
extends from hyoid bone to thyroid notch, separates epiglottis from hyoid bone & thyroid cartilage   fat pad  
🗑
the depression at the base of the arytenoid cartilages-on the anterolateral surface   fovea oblonga  
🗑
average rate of vocal fold vibration-determines pitch   fundamental frequency  
🗑
2 folds; with median on anterior surface of epiglottis-connects to tongue   glossoepiglottic ligament  
🗑
abrupt release of the adductor mechanism that initiates sudden vocal fold vibration   glottal attack  
🗑
creaky voice produced by phonating at lowest possible pitch   glottal fry  
🗑
normal pitch   habitual pitch  
🗑
the partials of a complex sound which are integral multiples of fundamental frequency   harmonic  
🗑
attaches to epiglottis (where leaflike portion is broadest) to hyoid bone (elastic ligament)   hyoepiglottic ligament  
🗑
starts on posterior surface of thyroid horns and hyoid bone-membrane is thickened   hyothyroid ligament  
🗑
have both attachments confined to larynx. control sound production   intrinsic laryngeal muscles  
🗑
thin plate or layer   lamina  
🗑
layer of the thyroarytenoid, superficial, intermediate, deep   lamina propria  
🗑
sectional radiography that shows layers of the body   laminagraphy  
🗑
degree of stretching force   longitudinal tension  
🗑
the vocal ligaments common point of attachment on the thyroid cartilage. aka anterior commissure, laryngeal saccule   macula flava anterior  
🗑
extent of force with which the vocal folds are brought together at the midline   medial compression  
🗑
located on posterolateral angle of arytenoid cartilage-bulge at the base-muscles will attach here. Responsible for abduction and adduction of vocal folds.   muscular process  
🗑
current physiology theory of phonology. Changes of elasticity in muscle & aerodynamic principles cause phonation.   Myoelastic Aerodynamic  
🗑
old theory of phonation: vocal fold vibration occurs according to timing of neural impulses-causes abduction and adduction   neurochronaxic  
🗑
successive doubling of frequency   octave  
🗑
aka natural pitch level. suitable pitch level for an individual-determined by physical characteristics of voice mechanism   optimal pitch  
🗑
medial-most component of the cricothyroid muscle   pars recta  
🗑
arises from the cricoid cartilage lateral to the pars recta   pars oblique  
🗑
device for indicating velocity or quantity of airflow   pneumotachygraph  
🗑
the vocal fold attachment on the anterolateral surface of the arytenoid cartilage   posterior commisure  
🗑
back part of cricoid cartilage-hexagonal plate (signet ring). Occupies space between posterior margin of thyroid cartilage   posterior quadrate lamina  
🗑
pyriform sinus   deep depression, lateral to the aditus laryngis  
🗑
upper part of the inrinsic laryngeal membrane   quadrangular membrane  
🗑
space between the true vocal folds (aka "glottis")   rima glottis  
🗑
subglottic space   space below the vocal folds  
🗑
the region above the glottis; includes: vestibule & ventricle   supraglottal space  
🗑
attaches epiglottis to thyroid cartilage at the angle just beneath the thyroid notch   thyroepiglottic ligament  
🗑
where the incomplete fusion of the thyroid laminae occurs-results in V-shaped notch   Thyroid Notch  
🗑
Adam's apple. Right below thyroid notch.   Thyroid Prominence  
🗑
to illuminate the interior or lumen of a structure by passing light through tissue   transillumination  
🗑
exaggerated vibrato   tremolo  
🗑
the triangular depression of the arytenoid cartilages-on anterolateral surface near apex.   triangular fovea  
🗑
small valleys (pits)-seen between epiglottis and root of tongue, on either side of median   valleculae  
🗑
small supraglottal region located between ventricular folds and vocal folds   ventricle  
🗑
aka false vocal folds. soft & flacid appearance-can't become tense.   ventricular folds  
🗑
small and rapid pitch intensity changes during singing   vibrato  
🗑
on vocal folds & continuous with conus elasticus   vocal ligament  
🗑
the anterior angle, near the base of arytenoid cartilage, prolonged pointed projection. Vocal ligament inserts on this process.   Vocal process.  
🗑
