Q

What is needed for respiration?

A
  • 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

Q

What doesn’t close with a person who has a cleft palette?

A

The velum doesn’t close the velopharyngeal port and doesnt close the nasal cavity completely so food goes up and out the nose.

28
Q

What oral structure is the most vital moveable structure?

A

Tongue

29
Q

What oral structure is the most important for articulation and resonance?

A

Jaw

30
Q

What oral structure has several muscles connecting with the face and a variety of movements * builds intraoral pressure

A

Lips

31
Q

What oral structure separates the oral from nasal cavity

A

Hard palate

32
Q

What oral structure has several muscles that act in synchrony for superior/posterior movement to achieve velopharyngeal closure?

A

soft palate

33
Q

What oral structure has a cosmetic purpose?

A

teeth

34
Q

Which articulators co-articulate for various sounds?

A

Lips & tongue

35
Q

What types of structural abnormalities are there?

A
  • Obligatory

- Compensatory

36
Q

What is obligatory errors?

A

articulatory function “normal” with abnormal structure

37
Q

What are the structural descriptions for obligatory errors?

A

oronasal fistula or velopharyngeal insufficiency

38
Q

What are the common symptoms for obligatory errors?

A
  • nasal air emission
  • hypernasality
  • nasal regurgitation of food
39
Q

What is the treatment for obligatory errors?

A

surgical

40
Q

What is compensatory errors?

A

Articulatory function “changed” in response to normal or abnormal structure

41
Q

What are the structural descriptions for compensatory errors?

A
  • malocclusion

- high palatal arch

42
Q

What are the common symptoms for compensatory errors?

A

phonatory mislearning /n/ for /k/

43
Q

What is the treatment for compensatory errors?

A

speech therapy

44
Q

What is foundational for speech and language development?

A

hearing

45
Q

What is needed to monitor and regulate our own speech?

A

hearing

46
Q

What part of the ear collects sound waves?

A

outer ear

47
Q

What part of the ear converts sound energy into mechanical energy and transmits sound energy to auditory ossicles

A

Middle ear

48
Q

What part of the ear takes mechanical vibrations and transforms them into electrical energy?

A

inner ear

49
Q

what is the neural system?

A
  • a protective mechanism which is an acoustic reflex that reduces vibrations by tensing the eardrum from very loud sounds
50
Q

Which nerve is associated with the neural system & what is its purpose?

A

the 8th cranial nerve (auditory or vestibular cochlear) which carries sensory info from cochlea to the brain

51
Q

Where is the eustachian tub (ET)?

A

originates at the rear of the nose & ends in the middle ear

52
Q

What is the primary function of the ET?

A

ventilate the middle ear to maintain equal pressure

53
Q

What is the secondary function of the ET?

A

drain secretions & debris from middle ear space

54
Q

What constitutes a healthy ET?

A

when it is closed to protect the middle ear

55
Q

what constitutes an unhealthy ET?

A
  • open or blocked
  • pain or sensation of “ear fullness”
  • sounds perceived as “muffled”
  • creates negative pressure & fluid drawn into middle ear
  • at risk for chronic ear infections
56
Q

What are the 5 subdivided parts of the brain & spinal cord?

A
  • Cerebrum
  • Basal ganglia
  • Thalamus
  • Cerebellum
  • Brain stem
57
Q

What part of the brain is the largest and most vital for voluntary movement & speech production?

A

cerebral cortex

58
Q

What is speech & language processed for 95% of the population?

A

left hemisphere

59
Q

where does prosody & certain aspects of social communication occur?

A

right hemisphere

60
Q

What is connecting fibers? (I’m not sure I completely understand from slide 17 on)

A

inter- & intra- hemispheric transfer of nerve cells

61
Q

What does an intact integrated function allow us to do?

A

read, write, walk, dance, & talk

62
Q

what do we know about Integrated CNS for speech?

A
  • voluntary act
  • requires neuromuscular control
  • intact auditory system
  • interconnectivity
63
Q

What does interconnectivity allow us to do?

A
  • process: perceive * comprehend
  • organize: store & retrieve
  • initiate: activate & execute
  • regulate: excite & inhibit
  • coordinate: sequence
  • synthesize: plan & execute
64
Q

What happens when we have a compromised CNS & speech production?

A
  • communication between nerce cells is disrupted

- comprehensive evaluation of speech structures and speech production is conducted

65
Q

What is evaluated when the CNS is compromised and there is a speech production issue?

A
  • structure: size & symmetry
  • muscle tone: flaccid vs. spastic
  • movement: range of mobility
  • control: coordination & speech of movement
66
Q

What is evaluated when the CNS is compromised and there is a speech production issue?

A
  • articulation/co-articulation
  • voluntary movement
  • vocal quality
