artic 1 Flashcards
comparing adults vs children: tongue
- adults: tongue occupies less space in mouth
- children: tongue occupies more space in mouth (occupies front cavity = less speech range)
comparing adults vs children: soft palate and epiglottis positioning
- adults: soft palate and epiglottis are separate
- children: soft palate and epiglottis are interlocked
comparing adults vs children: slope of oro-pharyngeal channel
- adults: more vertical due to descending larynx
- children: less vertical (smaller back cavity)
how does larynx descent impact speech?
develops greater sound range + develops corner vowels
what are the 3 levels of the pharynx?
- nasopharynx
- oropharynx
- laryngopharynx
what encompasses the buccal cavity? (3)
- lips
- cheeks
- gingiva/teeth
what encompasses the oral cavity? (3)
- teeth/alveolar processes
- palatoglossal arch
- muscular floor (tongue)
where is the pharyngeal cavity?
musculomembranous tube from base of skill to 6th cervical vertebrae
what are nasal cavities divided by?
the nasal septum
function of nasal concha?
warm and humidify air
how does the nose cleanse incoming air?
cilia propels mucous at 1cm/min toward pharynx where it can be swallowed and disposed of by stomach
the buccal orifice connects ___ and ___
outside world and oral cavity
the oro-pharyngeal isthmus connects ___ and ___
oral cavity and pharyngeal cavity
what is ptyalin?
enzyme contained in saliva, breaks food down
how does the jaw support speech in early development and disorders like ALS?
- typical: using various points of tongue to produce speech sounds
- early dev/disorders: tongue rests on mandible and mandible does the moving
