Bifid
|
Divided into two parts
|
|
Bilateral
|
pertaining to two sides
|
|
cheiloplasty
|
surgical repair of a lip defect
|
|
compensatory articulations
|
production of a sound utilizing alternative placement of the articulators rather than the usual placement
|
|
endoscopy
|
examination of the interior of a canal or hollow space
|
|
glottal stops
|
a plosive sound made by stopping and releasing the breath stream at the level of the glottis; may be a compensatory behavior in the presence of inadequate velopharyngeal closure
|
|
hypernasality
|
excessively undesirable amount of perceived nasal cavity resonance during phonation
|
|
hyponasality (denasality)
|
lack of nasal resonance for the three phonemes /m/, /n/, and /ng/ resulting from a partial or complete obstruction in the nasal tract
|
|
nasal emission
|
airflow through the nose, usually measurable or audible and heard most frequently during the production of voiceless plosives and fricatives; usually indicative of an incomplete seal between the nasal and oral cavities
|
|
nasal turbinates (nasal conchae)
|
shell-shaped projections of thin facial bone covered by mucous membrane and forming the lateral wall of the nasal cavity
|
|
nasopharynx
|
that part of the pharynx above the level of the soft palate and which opens anteriorly into the nasal cavity
|
|
palatoplasty
|
surgical repair of a palatal defect
|
|
pharyngeal flap surery
|
surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure; a flap of skin is used to close most of the opening between the velum and the nasopharynx
|
|
pharyngeal fricatives
|
fricative sounds produced by approximating the back of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall and forcing air through the resultant constriction
|
|
pharyngeal stops
|
plosive sounds produced by contacting the back of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall, building up air pressure behind that obstruction and then rapidly releasing it to produce a popping or plosive sound
|
|
posterior pharyngeal wall (ppw)
|
back of the throat
|
|
superior sphincter pharyngoplasty
|
surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure; the posterior faucial pillars are raised and used to form a bulge that reduces the size of opening between the velum and the nasopharynx
|
|
unilateral
|
pertaining to or restricted to one side of the body
|
|
uvula
|
small cone-shaped process hanging from the lower border of the soft palate at midline
