Cleft Palate

Question 1

Excessively undesirable amount of perceived nasal cavity resonance during phonation

Answer 1

Hypernasality

Question 2

Airflow through the nose, usually measurable or audible and heard most frequently during the production of voiceless plosives and fricatives; usually indicative of an incomplete seal between the nasal and oral cavities

Answer 2

Nasal emission

Question 3

A plosives sound made by stopping and releasing the breath stream at the level of the glottis; may be a compensatory behavior in the presence of inadequate velopharyngeal closure

Answer 3

Glottal stops

Question 4

Fricative sounds produced by approximating the back of the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall and forcing air through the resultant constriction

Answer 4

Pharyngeal fricatives

Question 5

Plosive sounds produced by contacting the back of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall, building up air pressure behind that obstruction, and rapidly releasing it to produce a popping or plosive sound

Answer 5

Pharyngeal stops

Question 6

Lip surgery

Answer 6

Chelioplasty

Question 7

Palate surgery

Answer 7

Palatoplasty

Question 8

Production of a sound utilizing alternative placement of the articulators rather than the usual placement

Answer 8

Compensatory articulations

Question 9

Lack of nasal resonance for the three phonemes /m/, /n/, and /ng/ resulting from a partial or complete obstruction in the nasal tract

Answer 9

Hyponasal (Denasal)

Question 10

Device that records oral and nasal components of a person’s speech sensed by microphones on either side of a sound separator that rests on the patient’s upper lip

Answer 10

Nasometer

Question 11

Examination of the interior of a canal or hollow space; the insertion of a flexible scope through the nose to look at the anatomy of the pharynx and to observe the pharynx and larynx before and after swallowing

Answer 11

Endoscopy

Question 12

Surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure. A flap of skin is used to close most of the opening between the velum and the nasopharynx

Answer 12

Pharyngeal flap surgery

Question 13

Surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure; the posterior faucial pillars are raised and used to form a bulge that reduces the size of opening between the velum and the nasopharynx

Answer 13

Superior sphincter pharyngoplasty
