1/28- Clinical Phonology: Anatomy & Physiology of the Speech Mechanism-PPT Flashcards
IC
What does anatomy knowledge support?
- Proper examination
- Formation of a dx
- Communication to
patients & other
professionals - Better understanding
of the functioning
brain
What is speech pathology?
Meeting of the minds and Interdisciplinary field
What does speech pathology involve?
Collaboration with:
- Linguists,
- engineering,
- acoustics,
- psychology,
- medicine,
- neuroscience,
- education,
- and others…
What occurs to pressure during quiet breathing?
equalizing pressure in & outside of lungs
What are our challenges?
- Complexity caseloads—schools, hospital & private setting
- Issues with co-morbidity
- Medical
- Neurological and physiological
- Psychological
- Cognitive
- Language
What is co-morbidity?
Coexisting dx that is acquired.
I.e. stroke, TBI vs developmental
What behavior is speech production?
Voluntary
What are the FOUR basic systems needed for speech?
- Respiration
- Phonation
- Resonation
- Articulation
What is speech’s power mechanism?
Respiration
What is needed for respiration?
- air
Activating system
Quiet breathing = equalizing pressure in & outside of lungs
Speech production = less air pressure in lungs & air rushes
in to meet demands for speaking
What happens to pressure during speech production?
less air pressure in lungs & air rushes
in to meet demands for speaking
What does phonation involve?
Vocal fold movements and vocal characterization
What influenced voice characteristics?
Movement of the vocal folds
What is pitch?
The rate of vocal fold movement
What is intensity?
Loudness and the amount of energy generated by the vocal folds
What are the three aspects of voice characteristics?
- Pitch
- intensity
- phonatory quality
What is Phonatory quality?
how well vocal folds work together during the vibratory cycle
Where is the resonating vocal tract?
From the vocal folds all the way out of the mouth
What is resonance?
Fundamental frequency generated at the vocal folds reverberates in the vocal tract
What are the resonating structures of the vocal track?
Pharyngeal
Oral
Nasal
What changes voice quality?
Changes in resonating structures
See slide 10…question
.
What is the most common cause for a resonance disorder?
Cleft pallet
What doesn’t close with a person who has a cleft palette?
The velum doesn’t close the velopharyngeal port and doesnt close the nasal cavity completely so food goes up and out the nose.
What molds the airstream to make it a recognizable speech sound?
articulators
What articulators are moveable?
- tongue
- lips
- soft palate
