The study of the function of an organism’s anatomy

Anatomical Position

The body is erect. The palms, arms, and hands face forward.

Superior

Above

Inferior

below

Anterior/Ventral

refers to the front surface of the body

Posterior/Dorsal

toward the back or back surface.

Prone

on the belly

Supine
– on the back
Lateral
– related to the side
Proximal
– nearest point of attachment
Distal
– furthest away from point of attachment

Rostral

- toward the front/anterior (Latin rostrum=beak)
Caudal
– toward the back/posterior (Latin caudum=tail)

Plane

is a flat or relatively smooth surface. Refers to the imaginary Axes of thebody.
Axis (plural axes)
is a real or imaginary line running through the center of the body.
CoronalPlane
– divides the body into front and back sections
Sagittal Plane
– divides the body into left and right portions
Transverse Plane
– divides the body into upper and lower halves

Flexion

  • Towards the front
  • bending at a joint, toward the ventral surface (two ventral surfaces coming together)
Extension
  • towards the back
  • opposite of flexion – act of pulling two ends farther apart (returning to extended position)
Hyperextension
– example is arching back (also known as dorsiflexion)
Plantar
– refers to the sole of the foot –
plantar grasp reflex –
  • stimulation of the sole of the foot causes the toe of the feet to “grasp” (Babinski sign)
  • grasp only happens when you're an infant
  • in infants toes spread out


Palmar
– refers to the palm of the hand
Palmar reflex
– stimulating the palm of the hand causes the fingers to grasp
Pronation
  • Palm facing down
  • hand rotates so that the palmar surface is directed inferiorly
Supination
  • palm facing up
  • hand rotates so that the palmar surface is directed superiorly

singular word ends with an

“a” (such as pleura)
plural will most likely be
“ae” (pleurae)
If the words ends with “us” (such as locus)

Then its singular

(loci) with an “i”
will be plural
Word ending in “um” such as datum & stratum it is in the
singular form

Data & strata words ending in “a” is in the

plural form

Tissues Aggregates


  • Aggregate =collective, combined
  • four basic tissues are used to form larger structures such as organs - aggregates of tissue with a functional unity (tissues of an organ serve the same general purpose)

What are the 4 types of tissues?


  • Epithelial
  • Connective
  • Muscle
  • Nervous
Epithelial
-refers to superficial layer of mucous membrane (Paucity=scarcity-small number). Larynx is made up of layers of epithelial tissue.
Connective
-Most complex. Specialized for the purpose of support (blood is a fluid connective tissue - blood cells arise from within the marrow of bone which is also connective tissue)
Muscle
-specialized contractile tissue (muscle tissue can be stimulated to contract)
Nervous
-Highly specialized communicative tissue. This means that it consists of variations of neurons/nerve cells. The function of nervous tissue is to transmit information from one neuron to another, from neuron to muscle, or from sensory receptors to other neural structures.

What tissue forms the top layer of vocal folds?

Epithelial Tissue

What are the functions of the Epithelial Tissues?

  • to serve to protect, cleanse, lubricate, and aid in vibration (vf’s)
  • provides the good voice quality

Internal membranes the are continuous with the skin and mucous membrane lining of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts or tubes are

Form by Epithelial Tissue

What are the 4 types of Connective Tissue?


  • Loose (areolar & adipose)
  • Fibrous (ligaments & cartilage)
  • Blood
  • Bone (headset)


Which tissue connects or binds structures together, support the body and assist in bodily maintenance?

Connective Tissue

What are the 3 types of Fibrous Connective Tissue?

  • Yellow Elastic
  • Hyaline Cartilage
  • Yellow (elastic) cartilage
Yellow elastic
– areas requiring recoil such as trachea, cartilage, bronchi, and lungs
Hyaline cartilage
– on costal cartilage of ribs, larynx, trachea and bronchial passageways
Yellow (elastic) cartilage
–found on pinna of ear and epiglottis

What are the 3 types of Muscle Tissue?

Striated 
Smooth
Cardiac
  • Striated
  • Smooth
  • Cardiac
Striated
– skeletal, voluntary muscle
– skeletal, voluntary muscle
Smooth
– visceral (Organs)- muscle of internal organs, involuntary (gastrointestinal tract)
– visceral (Organs)- muscle of internal organs, involuntary (gastrointestinal tract)
Cardiac
– combination of striated and smooth, involuntary
– combination of striated and smooth, involuntary

Nervous Tissue

  • transfer information (communicating tissue)
  • Highly specialized

What are the 6 types of Tissue Aggregates?

  1. Fascia
  2. Ligament
  3. Tendons
  4. Bones
  5. Joints
  6. Muscle
Fascia
– surrounds organs 

sheetlike membrane that may be thick or thin (dense or filmy) 
striated muscle is surrounded by perimysium (fascia around muscle).
– surrounds organs



  • sheetlike membrane that may be thick or thin (dense or filmy)
  • striated muscle is surrounded by perimysium (fascia around muscle).
Ligament
– refers to “binding” 

visceral ligaments bind organs together or hold structures in place skeletal ligaments bind bone to bone.
– refers to “binding”




  • visceral ligaments bind organs together or hold structures in place skeletal ligaments bind bone to bone.
Tendons
– attach muscle to bone or cartilage 

 have the same form as the muscles they serve 
(i.e., compact tubular muscles have long, thin tendons)
– attach muscle to bone or cartilage




  • have the same form as the muscles they serve
  • (i.e., compact tubular muscles have long, thin tendons)
When a tendon is sheetlike it’s called an
aponeurosis (singular). Aponeuroses are much like fascia except that they are denser.

Bones
begin as cartilaginous mass hardens overtime. Generally, bones have a cartilaginous portion (rib cage).

Joints
unions of bones with other bones, or cartilage with other cartilage classified based on the degree of movement that they allow.
unions of bones with other bones, or cartilage with other cartilage classified based on the degree of movement that they allow.
Muscle
  • combination of muscle fibers
  • morphology (form) depends on function
  • origin - point of attachment least mobile)
  • insertion - point of attachment that moves with contraction; more distant from body
  • agonists (+) vs. antagonists (-) vs. synergists (stabilize) innervated by nerves (afferent or efferent)

What are the 3 types of Joints?


  • Fibrous
  • Cartilaginous
  • Synovial
Fibrous joints (immobile)
- (i.e., sutures between bones of the skull are not intended to move)
- (i.e., sutures between bones of the skull are not intended to move)
Cartilaginous joints (limited movement)
– cartilage provides union between two bones  Ossifies through aging.
– cartilage provides union between two bones Ossifies through aging.
Synovial joints (highly mobile)
– include a joint cavity which contains synovial fluid (lubricating substance) contained within an articular capsule.

Name the systems needed for Speech and Voice (6)


  • Respiratory
  • Phonatory
  • Resonatory
  • Articulatory
  • Nervous
  • Auditory
Respiratory (lungs)
– the “power source” for speech and voice.
Phonatory (larynx)
– provides the voicing (all vowels and certain phonemes)
Resonatory (vocal tracts)
– filters acoustic source provided by voicing
Articulatory (vocal tracts)
– shapes and modifies the acoustic source provided by voicing-or other movements to produce speech sounds
Nervous systems (CNS and PNS)
– controls musculature, receives and makes sense of input information
Auditory system
– Processes speech and non speech acoustic signals received and perceived by listener.

True or False? Speech and voice require integratedaction and coordination of all systems.

True

Mastication
– process of chewing
Deglutition
– process of swallowing
