Chapter 4 Flashcards
Subsystems involved in speech production and perception include:
- respiratory system
- phonatory system
- articulatory system
- auditory system
- nervous system
Ability to speak depends on:
- steady outflow of air that is vibrated by vfs to produce a basic sound.
- would not be possible w.o respiratory system
Pulmonary system includes:
-lungs and airways
Chest-wall system is made up of:
- rib cage
- abdomen
- diaphragm
Pulmonary can be divided into:
-upper and lower respiratory systems
URS includes:
-oral and nasal cavities and pharynx
LRS includes:
-larynx, bronchial system, and lungs.
Structures of LRS made up of:
- trachea (lies directly behind larynx) has cilia filtering system to clean air going into lungs
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveoli
- lungs
Bronchial Tree
- branching system of hollow tubes that conduct air to and from lungs
- combo of cartilage and smooth muscle allows flexibility and support for trach.
- prevents trach from collapsing when - or + pressures exchange.
Trachea divides into:
- mainstream bronchi:
- secondary bronchi, tertiary bronchi, bronchioles.
- respiratory bronchioles open into alveolar ducts, leading into alveolar sacs. (think about blowing into balloon)
Alveoli are involved in:
-exchanges of oxygen and carbon dioxide that is basis for respiration
Interior structure of lungs:
- bronchi
- bronchioles
- alveoli
- blood vessels
Lungs are:
- very porous and elastic
- well-protected and housed in thoracic cavity
Quiet tidal breathing vs. speech breathing
- quiet tidal breathing very small
- speech breathing passive and not very laborious.
Inhale and exhale…%
inhale 40 exhale 60%
Most important respiratory muscle:
- diaphragm
- works like ball game explained in class
- large dome-shaped muscles stretching from onside of rib cage back to other
- makes up floor of thoracic cavity
- helps regulate volume of thoracic cavity
External Intercostals:
-run btwn ribs and pull rib cage upwawrd and outward during inspiration- increasing volume of thoracic cavity
