  • Front
  • Back
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
