Anatomy of Articulation + Resonation

Question 1

vocal tract consists of

Answer 1

oral cavity
nasal cavity
pharynx

Question 2

source filter theory of speech production

Answer 2

vocal folds produce a tone that is passed through vocal tract filter which is manipulable so you can change its shape and therefore change the sound

Question 3

oral, nasal, pharynx linkage

Answer 3

provides the variable resonating cavity that produces speech

Question 4

source

Answer 4

vocal fold oscillation
produces many frequencies

Question 5

fundamental frequency

Answer 5

lowest frequency component of sound source which corresponds to rate of vibration of vocal folds

Question 6

filter

Answer 6

vocal tract
boosts some frequencies and damps others based on vocal tract shape and size
(lets liquid through and traps particles)

Question 7

mobile articulators

Answer 7

tongue (largest)
mandible (2nd largest)
velum (soft palate)
lips
cheeks
pharynx
larynx and hyoid

Question 8

immobile articulators

Answer 8

alveolar ridge of maxilla
hard palate
teeth

Question 9

external nose

Answer 9

hyaline cartilage plates and bones

Question 10

nares or nostrils

Answer 10

where nasal cavity begins

Question 11

choanae

Answer 11

posterior opening into pharynx where nasal cavity begins

Question 12

vestibule

Answer 12

Question 13

nasal septum

Answer 13

Question 14

conchae

Answer 14

3 lateral bony ridges

Question 15
