| study of the structures of the body | Anatomy |
| branch of Biology that is concerned with the process and function of parts of the body | Physiology |
| provides the driving force for speech by generating positive air pressure values beneath the vocal folds | Respiratory system |
| vibrate at high rates of speed, setting air molecules in the vocal tract into multiple frequencies of vibration | laryngeal system |
| acts as an acoustic filter allowing certain frequencies to pass into the atmosphere while simultaneously blocking other frequencies | Articulatory/Resonating system |
| pair of air-filled elastic sacs that change in size and shape and allow us to breathe | Lungs |
| cartilaginous membranes tube by which air moves to and from the lungs | Trachea |
| Broad sheet of connective tissue covering the front of the abdominal wall | Abdominal Aponeurosis |
| breathing to sustain life | Resting tidal breathing |
| the pressure inside the lungs | Alveolar pressure |
| the superior termination of the trachea that protects the lower airways and is the primary sound source for speech production | Larynx |
| small, pendulous structure suspended from the soft palate | Uvula |
| contact of the velum with the lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls, thus separating the oral and nasal cavities | Velopharyngeal Closure |
| production of sound by vocal fold vibration | Phonation |
| The lowest frequency component of a complex vibration | Fundamental Frequency |
| frequencies in a complex sound that are integer multiples of the fundamental frequency | Harmonics |
| the basic unit of the central nervous system consisting of the cell body, axon, and dendrites | Neuron |
| the minuscule space between the axon of one neuron and the dendrites of the next, where communication between neurons occurs | Synapse |
| comprises the brain and spinal cord | Central Nervous System |
| a 2 cm wide gyrus immediately in front of the central sulcus of the brain that controls voluntary movements | Primary Motor Cortex |
| paired egg-shaped structures in the brain that serve as relay station for incoming and outgoing information. | Thalamus |
| large subcortical nuclei that regulate motor functioning and maintain posture and muscle tone | Basal Ganglia |
| comprises the midbrain, pons, and medulla. Important for regulating respiration, chewing, swallowing, and automatic functions of the body | Brainstem |
| a lower brain structure consisting of two hemispheres that smoothly regulates and coordinates the control of purposeful | Cerebellum |
| Peripheral Nervous System |
