Exam 1 - Anatomy & Neuroanatomy Flashcards
Articulation
using your lips, teeth, tongue, etc. to make sounds like “b” or “m” or “s”
Voice
how we use our larynx to produce sounds
3 divisions (subsystems of speech)
respiratory system (power), phonatory system (source), resonance system (filter)
Fluency
the rhythm and smoothness of speech
Resonance
shaping speech sounds
Phonation
vocal folds vibrating to make sounds
Respiration
breath support from your lungs
Speech breathing vs. relaxed breathing
speech: fast, large inhale, long exhale
relaxed: equal inhale and exhale time (short)
vital capacity
full volume of air that can be expelled from lungs after full inspiration
2 functions of larynx
protection (from aspiration) and speech production
Phonation
vocal folds vibrate to produce sound
Larynx primary structures
hyoid bone, thyroid cartilage, cricoid cartilage, arytenoid cartilages, epiglottis
Sound is changed by the ______ of the pharynx (_____), velopharynx (____________ ______), and oral cavity
shape
throat
velopharyngeal port
Alveolar Ridge
just behind front teeth on hard palate (maxilla) point of contact for several sounds (“t”, “th”)
3 types of neurons
sensory, motor, interneurons
Afferent vs. Efferent tracts
Afferent: going towards brain (arrive)
Efferent: away from brain (exit)
3 main divisions of brain
brainstem, cerebrum, cerebellum
Brainstem
HR, BP, breathing, sleep, swallowing, bladder control, sensory, motor
Cerebellum
control center for movement - rate, range, force, coordination, posture, balance (very complicated, more than just movement, speech motor control)
Cerebrum has two ________, two _____________, four ________
layers (white and gray matter)
hemispheres (left and right)
lobes (frontal, temporal, parietal, occipital)
Meninges
dura mater, arachnoid mater, and pia mater
Cerebral spinal fluid (flows between ________ and ______ mater). Function:
arachnoid, pia
flows through ventricles, and spinal cord, gives cushion/shock absorption, lets brain float, clears waste
Gray matter
outer part, processing and regulating info
White Matter
inner part, composed of axons covered in white myelin sheath
