Ch 6 Anatomy Of Articulation Flashcards
Vocal tract. The three parts.
Nasal cavity, oral cavity, pharynx
Source filter theory of vowel production
Speech is the product of sending an acoustic source, such as a sound produced by the vibrating vocal chords, through the filter of the vocal tract that shapes the output.
Articulation definition
The adjustments of the shape and acoustical properties of the vocal tract
Mobile articulators (name 9)
Tongue, mandible or lower jaw, velum or soft palate, lips, cheeks, fauces,pharynx, larynx, hyoid bone
Immobile articulators-4
Alveolar Ridge
Maxillae (upper jaw)
Hard palate
Teeth
What does hard palate consist of?
3/4 maxillae anterior
Palatine bones make up posterior 1/4 of palate
The facial skeleton forms the framework of…
Organs of mastication (chewing), speech production, respiration, special senses and muscles for facial expression
Facial bones (9)
Mandible Maxillae (2) Nasal bone (2) Palatine bone (2) Inferior nasal conchae (2) Vomer Zygomatic bones (2) Lacrimal bones (2) Hyoid bone
Mandible
Coronoid process- where is it and what does it do?
Attachment for temporal is muscle
Mandibular foramen-locate it, what is if for?
Hole permits entrance of nerves and blood vessels from one side of the mandible to the other side.
Milohyoid line- locate it, what does it do?
Landmark for the attachment of muscle.
Alveolar part/ridge
Locate, what is it for?
The ridge that houses the teeth within the dental alveoli.
Mental symphysis
Locate, what is it for?
Marks the midline where the two halves of the mandible are joined and fused together.
Mental protuberance
Locate, what is it for?
The point of the chin
Mental foramen
Locate, what is it for?
The hole the permits the mental nerve and blood vessels to pass from within the bone to the external surface.
Corpus
Locate, what is it for?
Body of mandible
Angle
Locate, what is it for?
Point that mandible angles up the the ramus.
Ramus
Locate, what is it for?
The mass of the mandible rising up vertically from the angle
Mandibular notch
Locate, what is it for?
Separates the condylar and coronoid processes
Condylar process
Locate, what is it for?
Consists of a neck and a head.
The head of the condylar process articulates with the cranium at the temporal bone. Forms the tempromandibular joint- the only freely movable joint on the skull.
Frontal process
Locate, what is it for?
Located on maxilla. Articulates with the frontal bone of the skull.
Infraorbital margin
Locate, what is it for?
Helps form the eye socket
Infraorbital foramen
On maxilla.
Allows passage of infraorbital nerve.
Zygomatic process
Locate, what is it for?
Maxilla
Articulates with the zygomatic bone
