L10 Flashcards
When glottis is closed how can subglottal air pressure be increased?
Reduce thoracic cavity volume by activating exhalation muscles
Intraoral pressure refers to pressure in the ___ ______, especially behind ____________ ____.
Oral cavity; constriction point
What is the fairly ______ driving pressure we strive for during speech?
Constant; 8-10 cm H20
What are the two types of breathing?
1) quiet
2) speech
What are the two phases of breath?
1) inspiratory
2) expiratory
During speech breathing the inspiratory phase is more ____, and especially during _____ speech. We ‘refill’ at ____________ boundaries.
Abrupt; rapid/faster; grammatical
During the inspiratory phase of speech breather how much volume do we take in/use?
60% of VC, and more than that for loud speech
During speech breathing the expiratory phase is ________ because:
Longer; we exhale while producing speech
What is the equation for Ohm’s Law?
I = E/R
In Ohm’s Law, what do I, E, and R stand for?
I - current (amps)
E - applied voltage (volts)
R - resistance (ohms)
What is the equation for the aerodynamic equivalent of Ohm’s law?
V = (change in)P/R
In the aerodynamic version of Ohm’s law what do V, (change in)P, and R stand for?
V - volume rate of airflow (ml/sec)
(Change in)P - pressure drop (cmH20)
R - resistance (cmH20sec/ml)
Volume rate of airflow (V) is analogous to:
Current (I)
Pressure drop (P) is analogous to:
Applied voltage (E)
Resistance (R) is a analogous to:
Resistance (R)
In a series circuit, I is _______, meaning it doesn’t _____.
Constant; split
To find current in an series circuit what do you do?
1) Add each individual R To get total R
2) Divide E by total R to find the current
In a series circuit to find voltage drop for individual registers what do you do?
Multiply I (current) by the R (resistance) of that register
In a parallel circuit the ________ does not stay constant, it _____, but the _________ does stay constant
Current; splits; voltage
If you have a parallel circuit and one resistor measure 5 ohms and the other measure 25 ohms, which will have a larger current?
The one with 5 ohms because the resistance is smaller
