Q

How are the intrinsic and extrinsic muscles of the tongue differentiated? (2 main differences)

A

Intrinsic tongue muscles are contained in the tongue with no external attachment, whereas extrinsic tongue muscles have an external attachment (e.g. tongue to hyoid bone)

Intrinsic muscles shape and produce fine movements of the tongue, whereas extrinsic muscles are responsible for placement and position of the tongue in the oral cavity

Q

Name 2 velar muscles, or two functions of the velar muscles

A

Levator veli palatini - elevates velum; closes velopharynx
(Superior pharyngeal constrictor - squeezes lateral and posterior wall of the pharynx against velum)

Uvula - elevates velum (minor role)

Palatoglossus - lowers velum and opens velopharynx (anterior faucial pillar) (note: this is also an extrinsic tongue muscle responsible for elevating the back of the tongue)

Palatopharyngeus - lowers velum; narrows pharynx (posterior faucial pillar)

Tensor palatini - opens the eustachian tube

Q

Name 2 jaw muscles, or 2 functions of jaw muscles

A

Masseter - closes jaw
Temporalis - closes jaw
Medial pterygoid - closes jaw
Lateral pterygoid - opens jaw

17
Q

Name 2 low invasive methods for studying tongue movement and describe them

A

MRI - Magnetic fields measure tissue density; used for static or continuous sounds

Magnetometer - pulsing electromagnetic signals reflect continuous movement of specific targets

Ultrasound - high frequency sound waves reflect off body surfaces; can image continuous speech

Electropalatography (EPG) - mini electrodes on acrylic palate responds to touch of the tongue; location and timing of tongue during continuous speech

18
Q

Name 2 methods for studying tongue movement

A
Ones also used for velum or lip/jaw movements:
MRI
X-Ray
X-Ray microbeam
Magnetometer

Also:
Ultrasound
EPG (Electropalatography)

19
Q

Name 2 methods for studying the velum (soft palate)

A
Ones also used for tongue or lip/jaw movements:
MRI
X-Ray
X-Ray microbeam
Magnetometer 

Also:
Velotrace - inserted through nose to rest on velum; measures continuous movement during speech; invasive

Nasendoscopy

20
Q

Name 2 methods for studying the lip and jaw movement

A
Ones also used for tongue or velum movements:
MRI
X-Ray
X-Ray microbeam
Magnetometer

Also:
Lip/jaw strain-gages - small steel beams attached to lips/jaw and strain-gage produce an electrical signal when went; 2D or 3D movement measured during continuous speech; non-invasive

Optotrak - infrared light emitting diodes attached to visible articulators (e.g. lips/jaw), recorded and tracked using 3 cameras; 3D traces during continuous speech; non-invasive

21
Q
Which speech movements (kinematics) are relatively small:

Tongue tip
Jaw
A

Upper lip (3 mm, 50 mm/sec)

22
Q
Which speech movements are relatively big:
Upper lip
Lower lip
Tongue tip
Jaw
A

Tongue tip (10 mm, 120 mm/sec)

23
Q
The maximum repetition rate (Diadochokinetic Rate) is highest for which of the following:
