Phonation basics
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| adduct | move toward each other ending at midline |
| abduct | move away from each other starting together at midline |
| larynx | gateway to the respiratory tract |
| larynx | breathing, protect airway, fixing thorax during activies requiring strong abdominal pressure |
| vocal folds | serve as a valve between the speech tract and the respiratory tract |
| vocal fold vibration is possible because | vocal folds are located within fixed larygeal framework |
| vocal fold vibration is possible because | muscles within the larynx (intrinsic laryngeal muscles) facilitate vocal fold abduction and adduction |
| vocal fold vibration is possible because | some of these intrinsic laryngeal muscles cause changes in the elastic properties of the vocal folds, affecting their rate of vibration |
| vocal fold vibration is possible because | an outgoing airstream also affects vocal fold vibration |
