Q

What is the source-filter theory of vowel production?

A

Voice is generated by the vocal folds, routed (filtered) through the vocal tract, and changes in various articulators change the resonance characteristics of the sound, changing the sound that is produced.

Q

What is a tongue tie?

A

65
Q

What is the most complex sequential motor task performed by humans?

A

Speech

66
Q

What is the conceptual system?

A

We first develop an idea that we want to express, which represents a sentence to be spoken. This idea must be mapped into a syntactical system to choose the correct words to fit the syntax.

67
Q

Phonological system

A

Phonological rules are applied to establish the correct phoneme

68
Q

Muscle movement system

A

Muscles are activated to meet the needs of the feature selection process… we have developed an idea that we map into muscle movements that change the oral cavity

69
Q

Coarticulation

A

The overlapping of phonemes/the overlapping effect of one articulatory pattern on another

70
Q

Coarticulation in running speech

A

We begin movement toward an atriculatory posture well in advance of when it is needed

71
Q

A

Utilizes auditory feedback (learning) and feed-forward (learned

72
Q

What is deglutition?

A

Swallowing

73
Q

Mastication and deglutition require the integration of:

A

Lingual, velar, pharyngeal, facial muscle movement, laryngeal adjustments, respiratory control, and the cerebral cortex/brainstem

74
Q

Infant vs. adults swallowing anatomically

A

Infant
- Oral cavity is smaller
- Larynx is higher
- Hyoid is higher and more forward
- Larger velum
- Sucking reflex

75
Q

Infants vs. adults swallowing physiologically

A
  • Infant coordinates breathing during the suck/swallow reflex
  • The velum “locks” into the space between the epiglottis and tongue which seals the infant’s airway so the bolus cannot enter the respiratory passageway
  • Dentition begins to form around the sixth month with solid food, blocking the anterior protrusion of the tongue and supporting retraction of the tongue during swallowing and allowing mastication
76
Q

What are the stages of deglutition?

A

Oral preparatory stage, oral stage, pharyngeal stage, and esophageal stage

77
Q

Oral preparatory stage characteristics

A
  • Put food in mouth and close lips
  • Tongue bunches up in the back
  • Soft palate is pulled down
  • Breathe through nose
  • Salivary glands secrete saliva
  • Facial muscles (risorius and buccinator) contract to keep the food from entering the lateral sulcus (buccal cavity)
78
Q

How many times do you grind your teeth for one bite of cracker?

A

15-30 times

79
Q

Oral stage characteristics

A
  • Tongue retracts posteriorly
  • Tongue tip elevates to the hard palate and squeezes the bolus back
  • Velum raises to seal off the nasopharynx
  • Once the food makes contact in the oropharynx, the swallow is “triggered”
80
Q

Pharyngeal stage characteristics

A
  • Begins when the swallow reflex has been “triggered” at the oropharynx (takes less than 1 second)
  • Soft palate stays elevated
  • Breathing stops
  • Lips are closed to maintain pressure
  • Vocal folds close
  • Epiglottis descends
  • Pharyngeal constrictors contract
  • Larynx and hyoid are elevated and brought forward
  • Upper esophageal sphincter relaxes
81
Q

Esophageal stage characteristics

A
  • Reflexive stage (not within voluntary control)
  • Breathing begins
  • Bolus is transported through the esophagus to the stomach
  • Wavelike contraction (peristalsis) along with gravity moves the bolus
82
Q

What are the three parts of the voluntary motor act?

A

Identification of a target, develop a plan to achieve the target behavior, and execute the plan

83
Q

Describe the first stage of the voluntary motor act

A

Identification of a target (make the tongue tip contact the alveolar ridge)
- Posterior parietal lobe (Brodmann’s 5, 7, 39, 40)
- Receives a complete “body map” of the location and condition of all body parts and integrates this

84
Q

Describe the second stage of the voluntary motor act

A

Develop a plan to achieve that target behavior
- Premotor region (area 6)
- Takes information from the parietal lobe and integrates that information with an action plan to make the tongue tip contact the alveolar ridge

85
Q

Describe the third stage of the voluntary motor act

A

Execute the plan
- Precentral gyrus (area 4)
- Commands to muscle from the motor strip about accurate timing, force, and rate
