Q

Fictitious Stage or Folklore Stage

A

The earliest stage. When voice production was thought to be magical, religious, or supernatural with the physician to be some type of religious priest, god, etc. with disorders of the throat and voice being treated using folk remedies or even excommunication (religious ceremonies)

Q

Traditional Stage

A

Coincided with the dark ages and the study of the throat and voice was stagnated. If anything, it regressed.

The Realistic Stage

A

Our knowledge and study of the throat was based on observation and experimentation. It’s when study of the voice and throat became a science.

“The Rehabilition of Speech” Book

A

Published in 1937 and written by West, Kennedy, and Carr. Contribution was “if the voice is disordered, there is always a reason and if properly studied, that reason can be determined”

“Speech Correction: Principles and Methods” Book

A

Written in 1939 by Van Riper. He talked about the diagnosis of voice disorders and he advocated perceptually diagnosing voice disorders as disorders of pitch, loudness, and/or quality.

(only one that moves it directly)

42
Q

Inferior Belly of Omohyoid Muscle

A

Infrahyoid extrinsic
Origin= upper scapula
Insertion= intermediate tendon
Function= when it contracts, it pulls hyoid down, which lowers the larynx

43
Q

Superior Belly of Omohyoid Muscle

A

Infrahyoid extrinsic
Origin= intermediate tendon
Insertion= hyoid bone
Function= when contracts, it pulls down hyoid bone, which pulls larynx down

44
Q

Sternohyoid Muscle

A

Infrahyoid extrinsic
Origin= manubrium of sternum
Insertion = corpus of hyoid
Function = pulls hyoid down, which lowers larynx

45
Q

Thyroarytenoid Muscle

A

Intrinsic muscle
Origin = inner surface of thyroid cartilage near the angle
Insertion = along entire base of arytenoid cartilage
Function = when it contracts, the thyroid and arytenoid come closer, which shortens vfs (increases mass) and creates lower pitches

46
Q

Cricothyroid muscle

A

has two parts: Pars Recta and Pars Oblique
intrinsic muscle

47
Q

Pars Recta

A

intrinsic
Origin = inner surface of cricoid arch
Insertion = underside of thyroid lamina
Function = moves cricothyroid joint, rocks it down and forward

48
Q

Pars Oblique

A

intrinsic
Origin = cricoid cartilage lateral to pars recta
Insertion = junction between thyroid lamina and inferior horn
Function = glider of cricothyroid joint

49
Q

Lateral Cricoarytenoid Muscle

A

Instrinsic Muscle
Origin = superior lateral surface of criocoid cartilage
Insertion = muscular process of arytenoid cartilage
Function = pulls toward point of origin, pulls arytenoid cartilage (responsible for down and in, adduction)

50
Q

Posterior Cricoarytenoid muscle

A

Intrinsic
Origin = posterior cricoid lamina
Insertion = arytenoid cartilage
Function = abducts vocal folds

51
Q

Transverse Arytenoid Muscle

A

intrinsic (only unpaired)
Goes from posterior lateral aspects of on arytenoid to posterior later aspects of other arytenoid
Function = when contracts, brings arytenoids closer together, which draws vocal folds together.
PRIMARILY RESPONSIBLE FOR GENERATING MEDIAL COMPRESSION OF VOCAL FOLDS

52
Q

Medial Compression

A

the force that one surface exerts on another surface

53
Q

Oblique Arytenoid Muscle

A

extend from muscular process of one arytenoid and cross diagonally to embed in the ariepiglottic folds
Function: when they contract, they draw the apex of arytenoids together, which reinforces medial compression

Q

Innervation of Intrinsic Muscles

A

all innvervated by the vagus nerve
-vagus nerve has branches

55
Q

Pharyngeal Nerve Branch

A

intrinsic
innervates muscles of pharynx and muscles of velum
-helps us shape vocal tract for resonance

56
Q

intrinsic
has two branches
internal branch: sensory and it innervates the inner mucousal lining of the vocal folds
External: innervates cricothyroid muscle

57
Q
