| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| how is phonation related to respiration | respiration is the source of energy for speech |
| what is phonation | production of voice due to the cyclic opening and closing of the vocal folds |
| 2 principles that allow the vocal folds to open and close | 1) muscle tension (myoelasticity) 2) aerodynamics |
| main structure for phonation | larynx |
| characteristics of the larynx (4) | 1) funnel shaped made of: 2) cartilage 3)connective tissue 4) muscle |
| anatomical position/orientation of larynx (2) | 1) anterior/ventral to esophagus and spine 2)superior to trachea |
| primary function of larynx (biological or speech function) | biological, protects/prevents entry of foreign objects past larynx into trachea, then lungs |
| 4 biological functions of the larynx | 1) coughing 2)throat clearing 3)abdominal fixation 4)reflexive actions |
| coughing physiology + purpose | 1) deep inhale, VFs open widely 2) elevation of larynx 3) tense/ tightly close vocal folds 4)subglottal air pressure blows apart vocal folds purpose: expel foreign object |
| throat clearing physiology + purpose | 1) deep inhale, VFs open widely 2) elevation of larynx 3)tense/tightly close VFs 4)positive subglottal pressure blows VFs apart purpose- expel mucus |
| similarity and difference between cough/throat clear | similarity: excessiveness/repetition causes damage to voice difference: cough is more violent, |
| abdominal fixation (physiology + purpose) | 1) deep inhale 2) tense/ tightly close VFs purpose- capture air in thorax to stabilize torso -good for weight lifting |
| reflexive actions physiology + purpose | dilation/opening of larynx -mostly involuntary purpose |
| which 2 nonspeech functions can be used in therapy to get initial phonation | 1) coughing 2) abdominal fixation |
| secondary function of the larynx | -phonation (not biological) |
| glottis | space between vocal folds |
| what are the vocal folds also called | the TRUE vocal folds |
| what are the false vocal folds also called | vestibular/ventricular folds |
| anatomical position/orientation of true and false vocal folds | the false vocal folds are superior to the vocal folds |
| 5 layers of the vocal folds (3) | 1) squamous epithelium (w/ basement membrane) 2,3,4) lamina propria (3 connective tissue layers) 5) muscle |
| layers of the lamina propria | layers 2,3, and 4 of the vocal folds (superficial to deep) 2) elastin (cover) 3) elastin (body) 4) collagen (density + tensile strength) |
| what does layer 5 of the vocal folds consist of (2) | 1)thyrovocalis 2)thyromuscularis muscles |
| vocal fold movement (2, caused by what) | 1)adduction 2)abduction -both caused by muscular action |
| adduction | closing of vocal folds (used in phonation + other biological functions) |
| abduction | opening of vocal folds (used in breathing) |
