Physiology of Phonation

        Help!  

Question
Answer
three most common vocal registers   modal register, falsetto, glottal fry or pulse register  
🗑
modal register   refers to the pattern of phonation used in daily conversation; the most important register for SLPs; the most efficient register  
🗑
vertical mode of phonation   the vocal folds are an undulating wave of tissue; the air is bubbling through the adducted folds; not like a door swinging on a hinge  
🗑
vocal fundamental frequency   one primary frequency of vibration  
🗑
harmonics   whole number multiples of the fundamental frequency; provide important acoustical information for identification of vowels and voiced phonemes  
🗑
minimum driving pressure for modal phonation   3 - 5 cm of water  
🗑
portable manometer - minimum functional ability for client   produce 5 cm of water pressure for 5 seconds  
🗑
maximum phonation - clinical technique   client sustains a vowel as long as he can; tests function of vocal folds, vital capacity, and checking action  
🗑
glottal fry (pulse register)   crackly "popcorn" quality of voice; extremely low in pitch and sounds rough (like eggs frying); frequencies: 30 Hz to 80-90 Hz  
🗑
glottal fry   requires low subglottal pressure to sustain it (~2 cm)  
🗑
glottal fry   tension of the vocalis is significantly reduced relative to the modal vibration, so the vibrating margin is flaccid and thick; the lateral portion of the vocal folds is tensed so there is strong medial compression with short, thick vocal folds and low Ps  
🗑
glottal fry   vocal folds take on a secondary, syncopated mode of vibration, such that there is a second beat for every cycle of the f0  
🗑
