Q

How is sound ultimately created in terms of the aritculatory system as a whole?

A
  1. Air comes from the lungs up through the larynx where it is turned into sound.
  2. It moves into the pharynx where it is shaped into speech by the articulators.
  3. The action and function of any part affects the actions and functions of the other parts and all parts working together in different patterns produce the varieties of human noises we call speech.
