Intro To SLP- Ch 6, 7, 8

Question 1

Edema

Answer 1

Vocal fold tissues become swollen causing a chance in voice quality

Question 2

Aphonia

Answer 2

Complete loss of voice

Question 3

Harsh voice

Answer 3

Associated with excessive muscle tension

Question 4

Breathy voice

Answer 4

Produced with a partial whisper; vocal folds are brought together so that they vibrate but a space between them remains

Question 5

Whisper

Answer 5

When the space between the vocal folds is wide enough that they can’t be drawn into phonation producing a fricative sound

Question 6

Hoarse

Answer 6

Voice that is both harsh and breathy

Question 7

Atrophy

Answer 7

Reduction in tissue

Question 8

Hyperfunction

Answer 8

Increased muscle activity

Question 9

Hypofunction

Answer 9

Reduced muscle activity

Question 10

Diplophonia

Answer 10

A “two toned” voice resulting from simultaneous vibration of two structures with differing vibratory frequencies

Question 11

Dysphonia

Answer 11

Disturbed muscle tone resulting in disturbed phonation

Question 12

Metastasized

Answer 12

To spread or invade by metastasis usually from cancer

Question 13

Unilateral

Answer 13

Pertaining to one side

Question 14

Bilateral

Answer 14

Pertaining to two sides

Question 15

Dyspnea

Answer 15

Difficulty breathing

Question 16

Paramedics

Answer 16

Half open position of the vocal folds makes it daily east for the exhaled airstream to draw the folds into vibration

Question 17

Extrinsic laryngeal muscles

Answer 17

Muscles originating or acting from outside of the part where they are located

Question 18

Stroboscopy

Answer 18

Slow motion technique that allows clinicians to examine closely the movement characteristics of the vocal folds

Question 19

Visi-Pitch

Answer 19

Provides objective data regarding a number of acoustic parameters including the patient’s fundamental frequency

Question 20

Laryngectomy

Answer 20

Medical treatments involving the removal of the larynx

Question 21

Stoma

Answer 21

A small opening

Question 22

Larygectomees

Answer 22

People who have had a laryngectomy

Question 23

Esophageal speech

Answer 23

Air is actively injected down the esophagus past an area known as the neoglottis, the pseudoglottis, or the pharyngeal-esophageal (PE) segment

Question 24

Bifid uvula

Answer 24

Split into two parts

Question 25

Posterior pharyngeal wall

Answer 25

Back of the throat

Question 26

Chelioplasty

Answer 26

Surgical repair of a lip defect

Question 27

Palatoplasty

Answer 27

Surgical repair of a palatal defect

Question 28

Hypernasality

Answer 28

Excessively undesirable amount of perceived nasal cavity resonance during phonation

Question 29

Nasal emission

Answer 29

Airflow through the nose, usually measurable or audible and heard most frequently during the production of voiceless plosives and fricatives; usually indicative of an incomplete seal between the nasal and oral cavities

Question 30

Glottal stops

Answer 30

A plosives sound made by stopping and releasing the breath stream at the level of the glottis; may be a compensatory behavior in the presence of inadequate velopharyngeal closure

Question 31

Pharyngeal stops

Answer 31

Plosives sounds produced by contacting the back of the tongue to the posterior pharyngeal wall building up air pressure behind the obstruction and rapidly releasing it to produce a popping or plosives sound

Question 32

Pharyngeal fricatives

Answer 32

Fricatives sounds produced by approximating the back of the the tongue and the posterior pharyngeal wall and forcing air through the resultant constriction

Question 33

Compensatory articulations

Answer 33

Production of a sound utilizing alternative placement of the articulators rather than the usual placement

Question 34

Hyponasal (denasal)

Answer 34

Lack of nasal resonance for the 3 phonemes /m, n, ng/ resulting from a partial or complete obstruction in the nasal tract

Question 35

Nasometer

Answer 35

Device records oral and nasal components of a person’s speech sensed by microphones on either side of a sound separator that rests on the patient’s lip

Question 36

Endoscopy

Answer 36

Allows visualization of the nasal surface of the velopharyngeal structures by means of a flexible tube inserted through the nose

Question 37

Pharyngeal flap surgery

Answer 37

Surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure; a flap of skin is used to close most of the opening between the velum and the nasopharynx

Question 38

Superior sphincter pharyngoplasty

Answer 38

Surgical procedure to aid in achieving velopharyngeal closure; the posterior faucial pillars are raised and used to form a bulge that reduced the size of opening between the velum and nasopharynx
