anatomy of articulation Flashcards
articulatiom
process of joining two elements together
articulatory system
mobile and immobile articulators brought into contact for the purpose of shaping the sounds of speech
source filter theory
voicing source is generated by the vocal folds and routed through the vocal tract where it is shaped into the sounds of speech
what is sound source generated by
vocal folds
Point of turbulance or constriction in voiceless speech sounds
what is sound source shaped by
vocal tract configuration
vocal tract
Series of linked tubes including…
- oral cavity (mouth)
- pharynx (behind mouth) (throat)
- nasal cavity (nose)
resonant frequency
The sound wave frequency that fits the shape of the vocal tract and is therefore enhanced
what happens in resonant frequency
Tongue position changed vocal tract shape
Changes in vocal tract shape affect resonant frequencies
Attenuate
Amplify
mobile articulators
tongue, mandible, lips, cheeks, velum, pharynx, larynx
immobile articulators
alveolar ridge, teeth, hard palate
lower jaw /mandible
Developmentally begins as a paired bone
- fuses at the midline by age 1
condyloid process
articulate with temporal bone by the TMJ*
Coronoid process
for muscle attachment *
mental symphysis
Point of fusion of the two halves of the mandible
mental foramen
Hole through which the cranial V- trigeminal nerve passes
upper jaw/maxilla
makes up most of the
hard palate/floor of nose
- upper dental ridge
frontal process
superior most point of the bone
zygomatic process
point of attachment to cheek bone
alveolar process
contains alveoli that hold teeth in the intact adult maxilla
incisive foramen
Anterior aspect of the hard palate that serves as a conduit for nasopalatine nerve serving the nasal mucosa
nasal bones
Small bones making up the superior nasal surface
nasal bones articulate with
-frontal bones superiorly
- maxillae laterally
- perpendicular plate that makes up the posterior wall of the nasal cavity
horizontal plates (palatine bones)
parallel the palatine process of the maxilla
perpendicular plate (palatine bones)
posterior wall of the nasal cavity
Orbital process
makes up a small portion of the orbit cavity
inferior nasal concha
Small, scroll-like bones on the lateral surface of the nose
nasal concha
lined with mucosa
highly vascular
function of nasal concha
air passing over nasal concha will be warmed and humidified before reaching the lower respiratory system
vomer
Nasal septum
- dividing plate between the two nasal cavities
An unpaired midline bone
Makes up inferior and posterior nasal septum
zygomatic bones
cheek bones
zygomatic bones articulate with
maxillae
frontal
temporal
