51
Q

What is it about the vocal tract anatomy that makes it so hard to learn to regulate?

A

vocal tract is a long, stretchy tube with flexible chambers paced every so often

52
Q

What is the central principle of speech production?

shape changes result in sound changes

53
Q

How does resonance arise?

A

the interaction of physical features of a system and applied energy into the system

54
Q

source-filter theory of speech production

A

energy from the sound source (vocal fold vibration) is modified (filtered) by the resonance feature of the vocal tract. The vocal tracts shape operates to filter the radiating frequency energy produced by the vocal folds

55
Q

What do you need during speech production?

A

process whereby air can be put under pressure and released in a controlled manner

56
Q

What do aerodynamic forces do?

A

displace structures, create pressure behind valves, and generate flows through constrictions in the upper airway

57
Q

58
Q

Laryngeal system structure

Inter-related series of muscles, ligaments, cartilages and I bone

59
Q

A

primarily to rapidly and securely protect the airway into the trachea
secondarily, vocalization and sound source production center

60
Q

Laryngeal general operation

A

open/close the glottis and regulate tension of the vocal folds that run over the opening of the airway

61
Q

What is the cause of changes in voice quality?

A

generation of lung pressures, how fast vocal folds vibrate, shape of the vocal tract above the glottis (opening between the folds)

62
Q

Why does vocal fold tissue change their stiffness?

A

to adjust pitch and loudness of vocalizations

63
Q

What do vocal folds act as?

A

regulating valve, interrupting and controlling the release of pressurized air from the lungs

64
Q

Pharynx

A

muscular tube that can change its cross-section diameter

65
Q

velopharyngeal port

A
  • “The hidden valve”
  • VP modifies the degree of coupling between the nasopharynx and the rest of the vocal tract
66
Q

Functional dynamics of Velopharyngeal System

A

Separates the vocal tract into upper and lower segments for nasal sounds and non-nasal sounds
highly synchronous and rapid activity

67
Q

What does inadequate close of VP mechanism result in?

A

nasalized speech
inability to generate oral pressures for the production of certain sounds

68
Q

Speech functions of the lingual system

A

modify the overall shape and acoustic resonance mouth
acts as a valve to stop airflow and build up pressure for plosive sounds
restricts airflow producing strident and fricatives

69
Q

What is an example of a muscular hydrostat?

A

tongue

70
Q

Muscular hydrostat

A

organ that lacks a rigid skeleton, maintains constant volume and changes shape in 3 dimensions

71
Q

mandibular system function

A

prime support for lower lip and tongue movements
during speech, frequent co-activation of jaw closers with openers stabilizes movement of the jaw

72
Q

Behaviors of 0-6 months prelinguistic stage

cooing, vegetative sounds, laughter, social smile, awareness of sounds, turns toward name, responds to familiar people

73
Q

behaviors of 7-12 months prelinguistic stage

intentional communication. babble and vocal play with strings of sounds, communicates with babbling and gestures begins to use single words

74
Q

What is the major milestone in 7-12 months prelinguistic stage?

A

first word by first birthday

75
Q

Behaviors of infants and toddlers 12-24 months

A

understands more than says, makes comments and requests, coordinates eye gaze with communication, combines gestures and words to add meaning

76
Q

What is the 1st major milestone for 12-24 months old?

A

20-50 words by 18 months

77
Q

What are the major milestones of 3-4 years old?

A

answers simple “wh” questions and follows multi-part requests

78
Q

A

sound sent to the inner ear by way of outer and middle ear

79
Q

bone conduction

A

sound sent to inner ear by way of skull vibrations

80
Q

Etiology

A

cause of hearing loss

81
Q

congenital hearing loss

A

hearing loss present at birth

82
Q

acquired hearing loss

A

hearing loss that occurs after birth

83
Q

peripheral auditory system

A

outer ear, middle ear, inner ear

84
Q

central auditory system

A

brainstem and auditory cortex (temporal lobe)

85
Q

What does the outer ear consist of?

A

Pinna (Auricle) and the External Auditory Canal (Meatus).

86
Q

ceruminous glands function

A

secrete antibacterial/antifungal wax

87
Q

tympanic membrane function

A

Separates the External and Middle Ear Anatomy
-Divided into the Pars Flaccida and Pars Tensa
-Umbo is the point of attachment to the mallelus
-Pars Tensa is well-suited for sound-induced vibrations into the ME

88
Q

ossicular chain function

A

Connects TM (tympanic membrane) to the oval window of the cochlea
-Manubrium (handle) of malleus attaches to medial side of the TM.
-Stapes footplate is sealed to the oval window and vibration of OC creates the wavelike motion necessary to stimulate the cochlea

89
Q

acoustic reflex

A

contraction of muscles in response to loud sounds stiffens the ossicular chain preventing noise damage to the cochlea.

90
Q

Wernickle

A

91
Q
