Q

Kids with cleft have issues with tensor veli palatini which causes problems how?

A

The course may be wrong , they may be born without it, it could create HL over time

16
Q

Does the vp have motor or sensory innovation?

A

BOTH!

17
Q

Name the 5 cranial nerves associated with MOTOR innovation of the VP.

A
Glossopharyngeal (IX)
Vagus (X)
Accessory (XI)
Trigeminal (V)
Facial (VII)
18
Q

Name the 2 cranial nerves associated with SENSORY innovation of the VP

A

Vagus (X)

Glossopharyngeal (IX)

19
Q

What are the 7 physiological subsystems for speech ?

A
Respiration
Phonation
Resonation
Articulation
Prosody
Nervous system
Auditory system
20
Q

Describe the physiology of the VP

A

Velar Mvmt, lateral pharyn.wall Mvmt, posterior pharyn. Wall Mvmt,
Passavants ridge

21
Q

What is Passavants ridge?

A

A shelf like ridge of muscle projecting from posterior pharyngeal wall into pharynx. It looks like a bulge and some people have it and some don’t. It appears in normal and abnormal A&P.

22
Q

Name the 4 VP closure variations of normal speakers.

A

Coronal
Sagittal
Circular
Circular with Passavants ridge

23
Q

What type of activity is involved with VP closure?

A

Speech
Swallow
Gag
Vomit

24
Q

VP must be completely closed BEFORE…

A

Phonation begins

25
Q

How are phonemes affected by VP closure variations?

A

They’re affected by tongue movement of co articulated sounds; greatest force on fricatives and consonants.

26
Q

How does VP closure affect rate and fatigue?

A

It increases speech rate and fatigue which causes decreased closure force

27
Q

T/F: VP muscles can atrophy due to non use because of VP difsxn

A

TRUE!

28
Q

Describe factors that affect VP function

A

Lack of muscle bulk (especially levator)
Abnormal muscle insertion
Malposition of repaired muscles
Scar tissue (gets stiff & doesn’t allow velar muscle to move)
Less faucial pillar pressure (esp. Post.faucial pillar/palatopharyngeus)
Short velum (pharyngeal walls & velum can’t touch to close)
Deep pharynx (lack of closure)

29
Q

Describe the changes in VP function due to growth and age

A

Facial bones continue to grow into early adulthood
Pharynx: newborn 4 cm long, adult 20 cm
Nasoparynx: increases 80% in volume between infancy and adulthood
VP function DOES NOT DETERIORATE AS A FACTOR OF AGE
