Question
Answer
Breath is what two processes?   Inhalation, exhalation  
🗑
Inhalation   diaphragm contracts and drops; lung volume gets larger, creating a negative pressure difference; air is drawn in  
🗑
Exhalation   diaphram relaxes and rises;lung volume decreases, creating positive pressure difference; air gets pushed out  
🗑
Lungs are made of   soft spongy elastic tissue  
🗑
structure of lungs is like an   inverted tree  
🗑
air enters the lungs through   trachea  
🗑
the trachea branches in two to form   bronchi  
🗑
the bronchi branch into   bronchioles  
🗑
at the end of each bronchiole are clusters of   alveoli  
🗑
alveoli   small sacs where the gas exchange of CO2 and O2 takes place  
🗑
the right lung is_______________ because   Shorter; because the liver sits high tucked under the ribcage (broader than left)  
🗑
Left lung is _______________ because   smaller; because of the space taken up by the heart  
🗑
lungs are encased in a sack of tissue calledq   the pleura  
🗑
the lungs are stuck to the pleura by a small amount of liquid which creates   surface tension  
🗑
suporting the breath through_________   abdominal tension  
🗑
Two types of breaths   involuntary, voluntary  
🗑
diaphragm   a sheet of muscle and tendon that divides the torso in two. dome shaped, slightly higher on the right side curves up toward center  
🗑
muscles found between the ribs   intercostal muscles  
🗑
external intercostals   outside of ribcage  
🗑
internal intercostals   inside of ribcage  
🗑
slows teh ascent of the diaphragm   abdominals  
🗑
what are the abdominals exterior to interior?   rectus abdominis, external obliques, internal obliques, transversus abdominis  
🗑
rectus abdominis muscles run   vertiaclly  
🗑
external obliques   run on side of belly downward and forward and insert int the pelvis and sides of the abdominal sheath ///  
🗑
internal obliques   run opposite external obliques rise from pelvis upward and forward, thickest muscles of the four \\\  
🗑
transversus abdominis   thinnest run horizontally  
🗑
chest breathing   clavicular breathing or "breath of exhaustion"  
🗑
breathing is like a   vaccumn  
🗑
phonation   the act of making a sound  
🗑
larynx is positioned in the throat by a series of   suspernsory muscles  
🗑
larynx anchored from below by muscular attachments to the   sternum and the clavicles  
🗑
cricoid stabilized by   a ligament attachment to the first ring of the trachea  
🗑
larynx suspended from the   hyoid bone  
🗑
horseshoe shaped bone with opening at the back   hyoid bone  
🗑
muscles of tongue and chin attach to the   hyoid bone  
🗑
4 cartilages of larynx   cricoid, thyroid, arytenoids, epiglottis  
🗑
two adjunct cartilages in the larynx   corniculates, cuniforms  
🗑
cricoid attaches to   trachea  
🗑
broad in back and narrow in front   cricoid carilage  
🗑
two plates fused together that form a V posteriorly   thyroid cartilage  
🗑
flexible attached to cricoid and VC   arytenoid carilage  
🗑
corniculate carilidges   have no function  
🗑
cuniform cartilages   wedge shaped rods imbedded in ary-epiglottic folds  
🗑
intrinsic muscles   both attach within larynx  
🗑
extrinsic muscles   at leason one attachment outside muscle  
🗑
name 4 intrinsic muscles   vocal folds, false vocal folds, crico thyroid muscle, crico arytenoid muscle  
🗑
thyro aretenoids, glottis space between   vocal folds  
🗑
above vocal folds   false vocal folds  
🗑
fan shaped muscles broader at top than bottom stretches vocal folds   crico thyroid muscles  
🗑
three adductor and abductors of the arytenoids   crico arytenoid muscle  
🗑
when ari flows between two objecst, the speed of that air increases as the objects come closer together   bernoulii effect  
🗑
resonance   the relationship that exists between two vibrating bodies and results in an increase in amplitude and a more efficient use of the sound wave.  
🗑
primary vibrator produces sound wave   vocal folds  
🗑
secondary vibrator   resonance cavity  
🗑
resonance tract is________   tuneable  
🗑
two resonating cavities   throat, mouth  
🗑
irregularly shaped tube which extends from back of the nose to the posetrior surface of the base of the cricoid cartilage   pharynx  
🗑
from base of skull to soft pallate   nasal pharynx  
🗑
from soft pallate to top of epiglottis   oral pharynx  
🗑
from top of epiglottis to base of crioid   laryengeal pharynx  
🗑
where one feels the augmented vibration due to the change in relationship of formants to areas of the body   placement  
🗑
spectral peaks of the sound spectrum   formants  
🗑
sound waves   alterations in pressure which propel themselves through an elastic medium  
🗑
the distance that a vibrator moves as it vibrates   amplitude  
🗑
the subjective evaluation by the ear of a sound's amplitude   loudness  
🗑
vocal color of tone quality   timbre  
🗑
moveable articulators (6)   tongue, jaw, cheeks, lips, velum, larynx  
🗑
fixed articulators   hard palate teets alveolar ridge  
🗑
the smallest phonetic unit of sound in language   phoneme  
🗑
soft palate has no   bone  
🗑
the act or manner of pronouncing syllables words or sentences in an articulate manner   enounciation  
🗑
the act or result of uttering phonemes syllables words and phrases according to accepted standards   pronounciation  
🗑
the prevailing standards of word usage and pronounciation in a cmomprehensible manner and style   diction  
🗑
