Larynx

think about the breathing process. Most people do not realize how much the respiratory system affects their speech and the quality of it. The respiratory system structures include the lungs, trachea, nasal cavity, oral cavity, and pharyngeal cavities, larynx,…

Different autopsy methods are useful in different situations. I have previously mentioned Rokitansky method which involves examining the organs in situ “a condition sometimes mandated by a restrictive autopsy consent or severe time limitations” (Finkbeiner 35). But there are other methods that involve removal of the organs including Letulle, Ghon and Virchow. Both the Letulle and Virchow start the same way: a Y incision is made and the skin is reflected from the chest and abdomen. If the…

1. Alveoli- Tiny air sacs in the lungs that conduct the air to the bloodstream. Upon inhalation, oxygen enters the bloodstream; during exhalation, carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream through the alveoli. Sentence: Even though each human body needs alveoli in their lungs in order to survive, there’s no set amount each adult has to have in order to keep their body moving. 2. Breathiness- A vocal quality characterized by the release of excessive breath because the vocal folds are not…

this phase varies depending on the viscosity. The salvia and food has now created a bolus in which lateral movements of the tongue and mandible are made. Furthermore, the soft palate has a passive role in the oral preparatory phase. The pharynx and larynx are at rest during oral preparatory which leads into the second phase of swallowing. In the oral preparatory stage, if liquid is placed in the mouth, no chewing is needed and some movements…

Easy pediatric nasal intubation Abstract: Background: Pediatric anesthesiologists use Magill forceps commonly during nasotracheal intubation but often have difficultly during advancing the nasotracheal tube into the trachea, differences in pediatric airway structure relative to adults are thought to be the reason of this problem. The modified pediatric Magill forceps (modified by Farrukh and his colleagues) added anteroposterior firm grasping of the nasotracheal tube enables us for…

Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome in Dogs: Overview: Brachycephalic Airway Obstruction Syndrome, or more commonly referred to as Brachycephalic syndrome or abbreviated BAOS, is a syndrome that leads to respiratory distress in the affected breeds of dogs (CIDD). Brachycephalia is best described as a chondrodysplasia that has been a product of selected breeding of domesticated breeds of dogs and cats (Koch). Breed standards often encourage and require these negative anatomical features,…

years of age (Singh, et al., 2014). The majority of children involved in this study were children aged 5 years and younger, which is in line with other comparable studies. The most common site for a blockage is within the esophagus followed by the larynx and…

Susan’s main areas of difficulty involve motor speech, which affects her intelligibility. Particularly relating to the larynx, use of the tongue in speech and coordination of the lips and palate. This indicates that Susan is likely experiencing mixed spastic-ataxic dysarthria due to lesions on the upper motor neurone pathway (Wilkinson and Lennox 2005) in the corticobulbar tract which innervates the cranial nerves and the cerebellum (Bethoux et al 2013). Lesions on the upper motor neurone…

It is already proven that the humans and the nonhuman primates came from the same ancestor. Although it is thousands of years since the humans and nonhuman primates such as gorillas and chimpanzees started to grow apart, it is still possible to find similarities and differences in the vocal communications between them. To be able to understand the similarities and differences between humans and nonhuman primates vocal communication it is broken up into different sections. The sections that will…
