Sides of the cricoid cartilage
Held together by a cricothyroid ligament

52
Q

3 important facts of Muller’s myoelastic aerodynamic theory

A
  1. Adducting the VF into the airstream caused them to vibrate
  2. Increasing tension on the VF caused the rate of vibration to increase
  3. VF tissue was passive and the vibration was the result of the airflow
53
Q

Neurochronaxic theory

A

Husson
Alternative explanation of voice production
Neural impulses cause the muscles of VF to pulsate
This modifies the airstream to
Produce sound waves

54
Q

Why was neurochronaxic theory rejected

A

Anatomical/physiological constraints make it impossible to produce sound
Muscle fibers of vocalists would have to be oblique to the glottic
High rate of neural impulses which is impossible

55
Q

Bernoulli principle

A

Given a constant flow of air
At a point of constriction there will be an
Increase in velocity of the flow and a
Decrease in air pressure perpendicular to the flow

56
Q

Venturi Effect

A

An application of the Bernoulli principle
The acceleration of a fluid (air) through
A narrowed area
Results in a decrease in pressure

57
Q

Venturi effect on speech production

A

Occurs in vocal tract because
Subglottal pressure is greater than supraglottal pressure causing
Airflow to be driven upward through the glottis
Narrow opening of glottic causes
Airflow to accelerate
Upward to oral cavity and beyond
Important in the modulation of the acoustic signal

58
Q

What is neuromuscular controlled used for in VF

A

Begins the process of VF vibration for adduction

59
Q

Strength of MAT

A

Incorporates self-oscillating nature of VF
Not depend on neural impulses which but an external driving force

60
Q

Weakness of MAT

A

Overstatement of the Bernoulli effect
Which cannot sustain self-oscillation of the VF

61
Q

Wavelike opening and closure from bottom to top

A

Convergent shaped glottis (triangle shaped) due to interior border opening first
Divergent shaped glottis (inverted triangle) due to the lower border returning to midline

62
Q

Vertical phasing or out of phase movement

A

Closing phase the lower border makes contact before the upper border
Difference in the vertical phrasing is a mucosal wave
See page 16 of notes for phases

63
Q

Transglottal airflow or glottal volume velocity

A

Volume of air flowing
Through the glottis
As a function of time
During phonation
See page 17 of notes

64
Q

3 types of phonation onset

A
  1. Simultaneous/easy onset
  2. Breathy (aspirate) onset
  3. Glottal attack (hard onset)
65
Q

Simultaneous/easy onset

A

Phonation is initiated by
Simultaneous exhalation and
Adduction of the VF
At midline

66
Q

Breathy (aspirate onset)

A

Exhalation through the
Glottis prior to
VF adduction
Degree of airflow varies from minimal to significant air waste

67
Q

Glottal attack (hard onset)

A

VF firmly approximated
PRIOR to phonation
Requires significant subglottal pressure and
Explosive release
When VF are blow apart

68
Q

Vocal rise time

A

The duration from onset until the
Amplitude of the sound pressure wave
Reaches a steady state

69
Q

Control of fundamental properties of voice

A

Requires variable stiffness of VF
Stress and strain = tension
VF are placed under tension b stretching
Cover can stretch more than muscle
Cover builds up stress faster than muscle
See page 19 of notes

70
Q

Biomechanical properties of layers

A

See page 19 notes

71
Q

What controls fundamental frequency of VF

A

Length of the VF
Tension exerted on the mass per unit length and their stiffness
Lung pressure is the MAJOR regulator of fundamental frequency
Causes dynamic stretch of VF

72
Q

Major determinants of sound pressure wave amplitude (i.e., intensity)

A
  1. Lung pressure (except at high frequencies)
  2. VF closure
  3. Vocal tract resonance
73
Q

VF closure is important regulator intensity. Factors for intensity

A
  1. Duration: longer closed phase - allows greater build-up of lung pressure
  2. Speed: faster closing - sharper cut-VF glottal volume velocity
  3. Degree: greater closure - less energy lost to subglottal space - greater build-up of lung pressure
74
Q

Voice quality

A

Subjective phenomenon that may be predicted in part by laryngeal dynamics

75
Q

Various voice quality

A

Breathy - associated with incomplete glottal closure
Pressed - associated with reduced open phase of vibration
Rough - associated with irregular mucosal wave vibration

76
Q

Muscle tension dysphonia (MTD)

A

Characterized by excessive contraction of the intrinsic and extrinsic laryngeal muscles
Foreshortened or asymmetric

77
Q

Ventricular phonation

A

Voice disorder
Medial squeezing of the false vocal folds into the airway
Impede vibration of the true vocal folds and absorb acoustic energy of the glottal wave

78
Q

Laryngeal reflux

A

Retrograde movement acid travels up from the stomach
Irritates the posterior larynx
Vocal production can become impaired due to irritation of the mucosal covering as well as maladaptive strategies to compensate for irritation

79
Q

Laryngeal blood supply

A

Receive from carotid artery which arises from aorta
Drains into jugular vein

80
Q

Sensory information

A

Travels to the brain from the periphery
Mechanorecptors sensitive to tactile and aerodynamic pressures generate sensory signals
From the mucous membranes via the SLN
Below the VF it is the RLN

81
Q

Viscoelasticity

A

References both the elastic resistance of the VF tissues and
The ease with which the VF returns to their original shape

82
Q

Shear force

A

The force that contributes to the upheaval of tissue described as the mucosal wave

83
Q

Anterior-posterior phase

A

Zipper like fashion
Starting anteriorly and proceeding posteriorly
Because…fixed attachment of the VF at the thyroid cartilage and
The movable points of attachment of the VF posteriorly
At the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages

84
Q

Phonation threshold pressure

A

The minimal lung pressure required for phonation
Varies indirectly with VF thickness
Varies directly with fundamental frequency, VF viscosity, mucosal wave velocity, separation of the VF in the pre phonation stage, and dehydration of the tiusse

85
Q

Tension of VF

A

Regulated by their length
Regulated by the cricothyroid joint

86
Q

Tension of VF

A

Regulated by their length
Regulated by the cricothyroid joint

87
Q

VF stiffness

A

Regulated predominantly by VF length and
Tension
Mass per unit volume

88
Q

Extrinsic muscles and fundamental frequency

A

Sternothyroid lowers the larynx
This reduces the anterior-inferior pull of the thyroid cartilage
This causes the VF to shorten and thicken
Resulting in decrease in fundamental frequency
