Anatomy of Articulation and Resonance Flashcards
Define the Vocal Tract
Nasal passages, Oral Cavity, Larynx (pharynx connects these)
Sources of Phoneme Production
Larynx (voiced phonemes), constriction in tract (voiceless phonemes-noise)
Phoneme Production Filters
oral, pharyngeal, nasal passages and cavities
Define Articulators
structures used to produce sounds of speech
Mobile Articulators
Mandible (lower jaw, including lower teeth), lips, tongue, velum, and vocal folds
Immoblie Articulators
Maxillae (upper jaw, including upper teeth), Alveolar Ridge, Hard Palate
Bones of the Face
Mandible, Maxillae, Nasal, Palatine bones, Nasal Bones, Vomer, Zygomatic bone
Bones of the Cranium
Frontal, Parietal, Occipital, Temporal, Ethmoid, Sphenoid
Occlusion
The process of bring the upper and lower teether into alignment
Class 1 Occlusion
normal orientation of the mandible and maxillae, first molar of the mandibular arch is 1/2 tooth advanced relative to the 1st maxillary molar, NEEDED FOR MASTICATION AND ARTICULATION
Class 2 Malocclusion
Relatively retracted mandible, first mandibular molars are retracted 1/2 tooth from first maxillary molars
Class 3 Malocclusion
Relatively advanced mandible, first mandibular molars are advanced 1/2 tooth from first maxillary molars
Overbite
vertical
Overjet
horizontal
