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  
🗑
