MIDTERMS: ORAL PHYSIOLOGY

Respiration

exchange of gases between air and environment

External Respiration, Internal Respiration

2 types of Respiration (EI)

External Respiration

exchange of gases between air in lungs and environment

Internal Respiration

exchange of gases between air in the alveoli and in blood circulation

Conducting System, True Respiratory System

2 Parts Involved in Respiration (CT)

nose, pharynx, larynx

the conducting system is made up of (3) (NPL) _____, ______, and ______

trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, alveoli, alveolar duct, alveolar sac

True Respiratory System is composed of (6) (TBBAAA)

Thorax, Abdomen, Maxillofacial Structures

3 Anatomical Structures involved in Respiratory System (Respiration) (TAM)

Respiration, Phonation, Resonance, Articulators, Neurogenic Factors

5 Components of the Production of Sounds and Speech (RP RAN)

Resonance

it is the resonators that give characteristic qualities to the voice

Pharynx, Air sinuses, Nasal Cavities, Chest walls

4 Examples of Resonators that give Characteristic qualities to the voice (PANC)

Phonation

production of sounds with the help of LARYNX (voice box) which acts as a vibrator and the vibrating element is the VOCAL CORDS. This cords can be stretched, modifies the air with different degree of tension and space to produce sound

Larynx

voice box

Larynx, Vocal Cords

in Phonation, the ______ acts as a vibrator and the vibrating element is the _______

True

TRUE OR FALSE?

Vocal cords can be stretched

Respiration

in normal speech, the respiratory apparatus especially during exhalation provides a continuous stream of air with sufficient volume and pressure to produce phonation

true

TRUE OR FALSE?
the air is being modified as it passes through the lungs by the facial and oral structure resulting to sound symbol
