Q

Select one of the anatomical differences (disorders) we discussed in the ‘clinical considerations’ module. How and why does that specific anatomical difference affect articulation? Be succinct, but complete.

Macroglossia is a condition where the tongue is too large for the oral cavity. this difference affects articulation, among other things, because if the tongue is too large, it will not be able to move very well inside the oral cavity. Without enough space, the tongue will be unable to articulate certain sounds and will block much of the airway.

142
Q

What forces (including active and/or passive forces) are involved in the forced inspiration?

A

Speech breathing involves a forced inspiration followed by a prolonged and controlled expiration

143

elasticity and inspiratory checking muscles

145

A

parietal

152

153
Q

Hyaline cartilage is:

A

susceptible to ossification

154
Q

is the amount of air in the lungs after a maximum expiration.

A

residual volume

155
Q

The diaphragm is in a dome shaped position:

A

at rest

156
Q

Which of the following is a muscle used in active expiration:

A

Quadratus Lumborum

157
Q

The carina is considered part of the

A

158
Q

Speech breathing involves a forced inspiration followed by a prolonged and controlled expiration.
a. What forces (including active and/or passive forces) are involved in the forced inspiration?

A

In forced inspiration, the external intercostals, diaphragm and the accessory muscles are used to increase the dimensions of the thoracic cavity. When the thoracic cavity increases, there is an increase in volume, resulting in less pressure than the atmosphere. A larger amount of air can then be taken in.
