anatomy of speech final guide

What class of speech sounds is produced without the use of vocal folds? 

Term for the space between the vocal folds? GLOTTIS

Greatly increases turbulence? Constriction adducted vocal folds 

The Bernoulli effect states that? Airflow at a constriction increases in velocity 

In the closed phase in phonation… subglottal pressure > supraglottal pressure 

In the open phase of phonation subglottal pressure=supraglottal 

This causes the vocal folds to return to their resting position after having been blown open during a cycle of phonation: negative pressure AND elasticity of the vocal folds 

The minimum transglottal pressure to cause the adducted vocal folds to vibrate is.. 3-5 cm

the act of bringing the vocal folds together is Adduction on quiz: none of the above 

There is a respiratory response to a foreign object out of the vocal tract COUGH

Dilation of the larynx requires the.. Posterior cricoarytenoid 

During swallowing this structure moves to cover the larynx during swallowing.. Epiglottis 

in order to initiate phonation one must.. Adduct the vocal folds 

Bringing the vocal folds into position to initiate phonation is termed... Attack 

Bringing the vocal folds together at the same time airflow reaches them is.. Simultaneous attack

Bringing the vocal folds together prior to airflow is termed.. Glottal attack 

Bringing the vocal folds together after airflow has initiated is termed.. Breathy attack 

Termination of phonation.. Abduction of vocal folds 

This is required for the initiation of phonation.. Adduction of vocal folds 

This change is involved in the change of fundamental frequency… tensing of vocal folds 


Ch 6 

In the source filter theory of speech production.. The vibrating vocal folds are the source the oral and nasal cavities provide the filter. 

The largest mobile articulator is… the tongue

This articulator is used to differentiate between the /m/ /b/ phonemes velum 

This bone makes up the cheekbone.. Zygomatic

Bone that houses the hearing mechanism.. Temporal 

This muscle makes up the bulk of the velum… levator veli palatine 

The muscle is critical for dilating the eustachian auditory tube.. The tensor veli palatine 

This muscle makes up the bulk of the tongue.. Genioglossus 

This muscle retracts the tongue.. Styloglossus 

This muscle is a major depressor of the velum.. Palatoglossus AND glossopalatine


Ch7 

Elevation of the tongue tip requires the contraction of what muscle.. Superior longitudinal  

Depression of the tongue tip requires the contraction of what muscle.. Inferior longitudinal 

Turning the tip of the tongue to the right requires the contraction of this muscle.. Right superior and inferior longitudinal 

Retraction of the tongue requires contraction of which muscle… posterior fibers, genioglossus, stylohyoid 

Elevation of the dorsum of the tongue requires the.. Palatoglossus muscle 

Retraction of the lips requires contraction of what muscles…the buccinator AND risorius 


Ch8

The process of preparing food for swallowing is.. Mastication 

Disorder of swallowing.. Dysphagia 

Why is a lip seal important during feeding.. Keeps food and liquid inside mouth, maintains positive pressure needed for swallowing

What is bolus.. Mass of food preparing for swallow 

The bolus is moved down the pharynx by the means of.. Pharyngeal peristalsis  and increased pharyngeal pressure 

In this stage food is received into the oral cavity oral prep stage 

In this stage The bolus makes contact with the faucial pillars.. Oral stage 

The epiglottis lowers to cover the airway.. Pharyngeal stage 


Ch 9 

Another name for your pinna. Auricle 

External auditory meatus.. Approx 7mm in diameter 

Tympanic membrane is about 55 mm2 in area 

The pinna serves as a collector of sound 

The pinna of the outer ear aids in localization 

The malleus is the largest of the ossicles
