Chap 1: Anatomy Flashcards
Phonation
Voicing with structures and processes that help produce voice
Resonation
Modification of voice produced at laryngeal level due to dynamics of various supralaryngeal cavities and structures
Respiration structures
Lungs, bronchi, trachea, spinal column, sternum, rib cage
Inhalation process
Inhale
Chest/lungs expand
Diaphragm lowers
Air flows through nose and mouth
Air goes down pharynx through open vocal folds
Air goes through trachea and bronchial tubes
Air reaches lungs
Bronchi
Extend from lungs to trachea
Divide into bronchioles and communicate with alveolar ducts
Trachea
Extends from larynx at 6th cervical vertebra
Made up of about 20 rings of cartilage
Last ring bifurcates into left and right primary bronchi
Spinal column
7 cervical vertebrae
12 thoracic vertebrae
5 lumbar vertebrae
5 sacral vertebrae
3-4 coccygeal vertebrae
Sternum parts
Manubrium (upper segment) attached to clavicle and first rib
Corpus (body) attached to cartilages of robs 2-7
Xiphoid process (cartilaginous structure at bottom)
Rib cage
12 pairs of ribs
Internal intercostals
Pull ribs down to decrease diameter of thoracic cavity for exhalation
External intercostals
Raise ribs up and out to increase diameter of thoracic cavity for inhalation
Sternocleidomastoid muscle
Elevates sternum and indirectly the rib cage
Trapezius muscle
Controls head, elongates neck, and influences respiration
Other muscles involved with rib cage elevation
Serratus posterior superior
Levator costarum bervis
Levator costarum longis
External intercostal
Adduct
Move towards midline
Abduct
Move away from midline
Key cartilages of larynx
Thyroid
Cricoid
Arytenoid
Thyroid cartilage
Forms anterior and lateral walls of larynx and protects larynx
Cricoid cartilage
Can be viewed as uppermost tracheal ring
Linked with thyroid cartilage and arytenoid cartilages
Completely surrounds trachea
Arytenoid cartilages
Small, pyramid shaped cartilages connected to cricoid through cricoarytenoid joint
Permit sliding and circular movements
