Voiceless Phenomes |
speech sounds produced without the use of vocal folds |
|
Voiced Phenomes |
sounds produced by the action of the vocal folds |
|
Glottis |
Space between the vocal folds |
|
Subglottal |
region beneath the vocal folds |
|
Larynx |
muscle/cartalige structure located at the upper end of the trachea. Coughing, swallowing, holding breath. House the vocal folds. comprised of 3 paired and 3 unpaired bits |
|
Epiglottis |
protective, leaf-shaped structure that protects the larynx when you swallow. |
|
Vallecular |
gross tough-edges hood thing that. spit traps that catch saliva and stave off swallowing reflex |
|
Bernoulli Effect |
"At a point of constriction there will be a decrease in pressure perpendicular to the flow and an increase in velocity of the flow." |
|
Cricoid Cartilage |
ugly ass ring of cartilage connecting the bottom of the larynx to the top of the trachea. Connected to thyroid cartilage. 1/3 unpaired larynx. |
|
thyroid cartilage |
biggest larynx bit. 1/3 unpaired larynx |
|
Corniculate, Arytenoid cartilage |
Top/ bottom sharp fang things. Make the gross bulges above the vocal folds |
|
Trachea mouth monster top to bottom |
Anterior Commisor false vocal chords true vocal chords trachea arytenoids |
|
Aduction vs abduction |
Bringing the vocal folds together vs separating them. |
|
Lateral (anterior) Cricoarytenoid Muscles |
adductors |
|
Posterior cricoarytenoid muscles |
abductors |
|
Thyrovocalis |
tenses muscles running through vocal chords |
|
Thyromuscularis |
relaxes muscles running through vocal folds |
|
Abdominal Fixation |
Capturing Air in the thorax in order to contain pressure and stabilize the torso. Gives muscles a structure to push or pull against. |
|
Dilate` |
opening the respiratory tract as widely as possible |
|
Attack, sustained phonation, termination |
the 3 steps of phonation, starting with adduction and ending with abduction |
|
Sustained phonation |
long lasting phonation resulting from tonic contraction of vocal fold aductors |
|
simultaneous vocal fold attack |
how you turn 's' into 'z' |
|
breathy vocal attack |
expiration occurs before vocal adduction. talking while running, are marylan monroe talk. |
|
glottal attack |
expiration occurs after adduction. deep growling voice. |
|
Arytnoid cartilages can move in 3 dimensions: |
rotating, rocking, gliding |
|
laryngitis |
inflammation of the larynx |
|
aphonia |
loss of ability to produce voicing for speech |
|
vocal hyperfunction |
screaming your ass off too much |
|
3 major vocal registers |
modal phonation- normal, sustained, daily voice glottal fry- gravelly voice falsetto- yeeeEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. |
|
Pitch |
Physiological correlation of frequency of vibration |
|
Optimal Pitch |
the most accessible, easily produced pitch for an individual. Ideal and most efficient frequency. |
|
3 cranial nerves most relevant to speech |
Cranial Nerve 7, the face. cranial nerve 10, the vocal chords, and cranial nerve 12 tongue. |
|
circle of willis |
circular meeting of the most important arteries in the brain. protective function that ensures flow of blood continues even when one arterry is obstructed. Helps middle cerebral arterry. hemorrhagic stroke is when a vessel bursts. ischemic stroke is when the blood vessel gets blocked. |
|
frequency, intensity of vocal fold |
frequency is how often they open and close. intensity is the amount of pressure being produced by the air |
|
meningeal lining |
cushioning between brain and skull. Dura matter, arachne mater, pia mater. |
|
frontal lobe |
executive functions. speech, movement planning. broca's area. |
|
broca's area |
speech motor planning |
|
wernicke's area |
speech comprehension |
|
source filter theory |
source of energy (air pressure) waves through the vocal tract and articulators, which act as filters that modify the sound into speech |
|
dev of vocal tract |
proportional changes that impact swallowing and speech. rapidly vevelops until 7-18 years. |
|
3 major systems of speech |
1. resperatory- lungs. the source 2. phonation- vocal chords. sound. 3. articulation/resonation- mouth.. shape. all encompassed by the neuro system. |
|
:) |
;) |
|
Resonant Frequency |
the frequency of sound that a cavity responds to best |
|
maxillae |
bones that make up the upper jaw. mostly hard palate. |
|
Broca's V wernicke's apahasia |
Broca's aphasia is a loss of ability to produce language. wernicke's is loss of ability to understand language. |
|
Lingual tonsil |
gross fat part at back on tongue |
|
teeth |
