Q

Muscular forces simply “set” the folds in what position to move?

A

“to” and “fro” when aeromechanical forces are applied to them

Q

What do we do to our folds when we initiate phonation?

A

We bring folds close enough together that forces of turbulence causes vibration

Q

What is a simultaneous attack?

A

Coordinate adduction and onset of respiration occurs simultaneously

i.e., “zany” vs. “sany”

Q

What is breathy attack?

A

starting airflow before adducting folds

  • occurs during running speech because we keep air flowing throughout the production

Q

What is a glottal attach?

A
  • adduction occurs prior airflow like a cough
  • when beginning with a stressed vowel.
    i. e., “okay”

Q

What is termination?

A
  • we pull the folds out of the airstream (adduct) far enough to reduce turbulence
  • when turbulence is reduced the folds stop vibrating
  • both adduction and abduction occur rapidly

Q

What is sustained phonation?

A
  • requires maintenance of laryngeal posture through tonic contraction of musculature
  • vibration of the folds is achieved by placing and holding the folds in the airstream
  • vibration is not the production of repeated adduction and abduction but due to aerodynamic interaction with the elastic nature of the folds

Q

what is mode of vibration?

A
  • folds open from inferior to superior )bottom to top) and close from inferior to superior
  • undulating wave of tissue
  • vibrate in a periodic fashion
  • support continued oscillation of the folds (folds continue to vibrate after energy has been removed)

24
Q

What is the mode of vibration?

Study These Flashcards
A

anterior-posterior dimension whereas the folds open at the posterior end first, then medial edge, and close posteriorly.

  • the arytenoids do not move
25
What is glottal fry?
low in pitch and sounds "rough"
26
What is falsetto?
- highest register - folds lengthen and become thin - folds briefly make contact
27
Over compression can cause what?
Nodules
28
What is a whistle?
turbulence on the edge of the folds- not vibration of folds! Not a phonatory mode - folds are partially adducted and tensed to develop turbulence in the airstream - noise used to make speech - is strenuous
29
What does undercompression cause?
breathy
30
What are the acoustic characteristics of the voice?
- frequency - intensity - spectrum
31
What are the perceptual characteristics of teh voice?
- pitch - loudness - voice quality
32
What is not a phonetary mode?
whisper
33
Frequency will change with changes in what?
distribution of mass and elasticity
34
Folds promote what?
oscillations (repeated vibrations) at a particular frequency
35
What is pitch?
psychological correlate of frequency. As frequency increases, pitch increases
36
What is an important element in speech perception and in changing "inflection"
pitch
37
What is optimal pitch?
frequency of vocal fold vibration most "appropriate" for an individual
38
optimal pitch varies as a function based on what?
age and gender
39
what is habitual pitch?
frequency habitually used during speech - ideally would be the same as optimal pitch
40
What is average fundamental frequency?
frequency of vibration of sustained phonation
41
what is pitch range?
range of of for an individual and is calculated as the difference between highest and lowest frequencies
42
what are changeable elements of the folds?
tension, length, and mass
43
True or false: we can change mass but we can change mass per unit length by spreading the muscle, mucosa, and ligament out over more distance
false. We can.
44
how can we change tension?
stretching and relaxing. - by decreasing "mass" we also tense the folds thus increasing frequency
45
Which muscle tilts the thyroid down
Cricothyroid
46
which muscle tenses folds?
WAITING ON AMAL - cricothyroid- gross adjustment - thyrovocalis- fine movement of pitch
47
increasing pitch requires increasing the tension of the system, thereby increasing what?
glottal resistance to airflow
48
Increase in sub-glottal pressure itself DOES or DOES NOT effect frequency?
DOES NOT
49
Loudness is the psychological correlate to what?
intensity
50
Intensity (sound pressure level) is the physical measure what?
Power (or pressure) ratios
51
To increase intensity of the folds we must increase what?
vigor with which the folds open and close
52
What do we increase to increase intensity?
sub-glottal pressure
53
Increaseing vocal intensity, the vocal folds are tightly compressed and it takes more or less force to blow them open?
More force
54
Why do folds tend to stay closed?
Because they are tightly compressed
55
What is the opening stage?
folds are opening up
56
What is the closing stage?
folds return to point of approximation
57
what is closed stage?
no air escaping
