Speech Science Exam

Speech Science Exam 2- Chapters 5 and 6

QuestionAnswer
Given a constant volume flow of air at a point of constriction, there will be a decrease in air pressure perpendicular to the flow and an increase in the velocity of the flow of air. Bernoulli Effect
Process of bringing vocal folds together to begin phonation. Attack
-Cordinate adduction and onset of respiration -Should be used normally. Simultaneous vocal attack
-Starting significant airflow before adducting the VFs in voiceless sounds. -Air going first and then speaking. Breathy Vocal Attack
-Adduction of the VFs occurs prior to the airflow. Glottal Attack
The cricoarytenoid joint is incredibly flexible. TRUE
-Vocal fold adduction and abduction. -Limited sliding movement -Dominant rocking movement. Cricoarytenoid joint
Within the cricothyroid joint, what does a high pitch mean for the location of cricothyroid and the VFs? Moves forward and elongates vocal folds
-Rocking joint -Vocal fold elongation -Provides major adjustment for change in vocal pitch. Cricothyroid joint
-What cartilage is below the thyroid? Cricoid cartilage; ring shaped
Why are men's adams apples more prominent? Womens= 120 Mens= 90
3 Paired Cartilages Arytenoinds, Corniculate, Cuneiform
3 unpaired cartilages Cricoid, Thyroid, Epiglottis
Process of sound production through VF vibration Phonation
What are false vocal folds called? Ventricular
Space between, above, and below vocal folds Glottis= between Subglottal=below Supraglottal= above
Epithelium layer: outer most layer or inner most layer? Outer most layer
What does the Lamina Propria contain (which layers)? 1. Superficial 2. Intermediate 3. Deep
What is Epithelium made out of? Plicae
What is Superficial (Reinke's space) made out of? Gelatin
What is the intermediate layer made out of? Elastin
What is the deep layer made out of? Collagen
What muscle is the inner most layer of the vocal folds? Thyroidarytenoid muscle
Layers of VFs in order? 1. Epithelium 2. Superficial 3. Intermediate 4. Deep 5. Thryoarytenoid muscle
What does the extrinsic muscles do to the larynx? What does this help? Adjust and stabilize overall laryngeal position so that intrinsic muscles can exert their forces.
Intrinsic muscles Interconnect cartilages Fine control of phonation
What intrinsic muscle does abduction? Posterior cricoarytenoid
What intrinsic muscles does adduction? Lateral cricoarytenoid Transverse and oblique arytenoids
What intrinsic muscles does tensor? Cricothyroid Thyrovocalis Medial portion of thyroarytenoid
What intrinsic muscles does relaxor? Thyromuscularis Lateral portion of thyroarytenoid
Picking up something and have bare down aspect (grunt). Valsalva maneuver
-Airway protection -Stabilize upper body during movement -Phonation Valving functions of larynx
Abducting the VFs out of the airstream. Termination
Maintaining the VFs in place. Sustained phonation
Pattern of activity that VFs undergo during a cycle of vibration. Mode
VFs also tend to open from posterior to anterior Horizontal mode of phonation
What is the minimum driving pressure of the VFs in modal phonation? 3-5 H2O subglottal pressure
Pitch of VF vibration that is optimal for an individual Optimal pitch
VFs open and close from interior to superior. Vertical mode of phonation
What octave is the optimal pitch? about 1/4 above the lowest frequency of vibration of an individual
Maintenance of childhood pitch despite having passed through the development stage of puberty. Puberphonia
Frequency of vibration of VFs that is habitually used during speech. Habitual pitch
What does habitually pitch want to be ideal to? Optimal pitch
Average frequency of vibration of VFs during some sustained phonation. Average fundamental frequency
Range of fundamental frequency for an individual Pitch range
Muscular motion to pull VFs together Translaryngeal pressure
Pressure changes in the larynx during phonation Laryngeal opposing pressure
How many octaves is the pitch range? 2-3 octaves
How can we change frequency/ pitch via mass? Spreading the muscle, mucosa, and ligaments out over more distances increases pitch
How can we change frequency/ pitch via tension? Stretch them tighter or relax them stretch= pitch increases
How can we change frequency/ pitch via length? Elongation is what really affects tension and mass
Differences in mode of vibration of VFs. Register
Extremely low in pitch and sounds rough Pulse
Pattern of phonation used in daily conversation. Modal register
-Vibration is faster (greater frequency) for higher pitch. -They make contact only briefly. Loft
-Medial compression is greatly increased. Pressed phonation
VFs are inadequately approximated Breathy voice
-No voice -VFs are partiallly adducted to produce some turbulence in airstream. Whispering
-Opening phase: 50% -Closing phase: 37% -Closed- 13% Normal conversation glottal cycle
-Useful to understand VF vibration in relation to different voice types. -Shows proportion of a cycle the folds are open. Glottogram
-Opening: 33% -Closing: 37% -Closed: 30% Increased intensity glottal cycle
-Jitter -Range in around .2% to 1% -High jitter value indicates that something might be interfering with normal VF vibration. Frequency perturbation
-through nasal cavity -Hangs right above larynx -Allows for many different speech sounds and swallowing Flexible laryngoscopy
-Lowest frequency of a complex sound. -Same as the first harmonic Fundamental frequency
-Special mask used to determine airflow measurements for glottal opening. -Big opening= more airflow -No opening= no airflow Inverse filter
-Through mouth- pulls tongue forward. -Most direct view of larynx -No swallowing or certain speech sounds. Rigid laryngoscopy
-Amplitude measured by sound pressure level. -Physical measure of power or pressure ratios Intensity
-Air pressure changes -Opening phase and closing phase -Closed phase Glottal cycle
-High speed camera -Movie of vibrating VFs. Cinematography
-Amplitude variability -Flucuating in amplitude Shimmer
-Perceptual correlate of intensity -What we hear and understand Loudness
-Abnormal voice qualitites -Voices that sound deviant in terms of tone, pitch, and/or loudness. Dysphonia
Timing variability between cycles of vibration -Flucuation in intensity Jitter
-Uses a light source on one side of VFs and photos of the other side of the VFs -Glottogram Photoglottography
-Calculated by changes in amplitude over several sound waves with the VFs vibration. -Above 3% can indicate something pathological -Measure in amplitude irregularities over time. Intensity perturbation of shimmer
Maximum performance task Assess integrity of phonatory glottal closure More than 1.4 is abnormal S/Z ratio
-Amount of time someone can sustain a sound. -Measures phonatory glottal closure and breath support. Maximum phonation time
Time in seconds for a predetermined amount of syllables. Diadochokinesis
"phuphuphuphu" -Average 5-7 per second. Alternating motion rate
/buttercup/ average 5-7 per second Sequential motion rate
