mod 5: anatomy of phonation Flashcards
glottis
-space between vocal folds
hyoid bone (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: supports the laryx
-Location: attached to tongue
-Articulation: non-articulate, unpaired
cricoid cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: forms base of the larynx
-Location: sits just above the top-most tracheal ring, shaped like signet ring
-Articulation: non-articulate, unpaired
Thyroid cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: adams apple
-Location: superior to cricoid cartilage largest
cartilage, single cartilage, shield-like shape, sides have superior and inferior horns (cornu)
-Articulation: unpaired
Arytenoid cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: vocal folds attach to them
-Location: sit atop posterior cricoid cartilage
-Articulation: articulate with cricoid, paired, glide forward to shorten vocal folds to change pitch
Corniculate cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: perhaps to assist in forceful adduction
-Location: cap on apex of arytenoids
-Articulation: paired
Cuneiform cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: to support and stiffen aryepiglottic folds
-Location: flaps of mucosal lining lateral to epiglottis at opening of larynx
-Articulation: paired
Epiglottis cartilage (function, location, articulation, applicable)
-function: protects larynx from food, debris
-Location: attached to interior of thyroid cartilage, ligaments connects to root of tongue on anterior
-Articulation: unpaired
cricothyroid joint (function, location, articulation, applicable)
function: pivor for thyroid to rock forward, used for pitch adjustment
movement: rock forward
cricoarytenoid joint (function, location, articulation, applicable)
permits some roation and rocking in and out movement
thyrohyoid membrane (function, location, articulation, applicable)
location: cover the space between the hyoid bone and the thyroid
Aryepiglottic folds (function, location, articulation, applicable)
Swallowing
vocal folds (function, location, articulation, applicable)
ventricular/false vocal folds (function, location, articulation, applicable)
function:
location: superior to the true folds, consist of thick foldd of mucous membrane
articulation:
vocal fold structure: squamos eithelium
most superficial, protective layer of vocal folds
vocal fold structure: superficial lamina propria
vocal folds structure with elastin fibers
vocal fold structure: intermediate lamina propia
anterior-to-posterior elastin fibers provide elasticity and strength
vocal fold structure: deep lamina propia
anterior-to-posterior collagen fibers
thyroarytenoid muscle parts
composed of the thyrovocalis and thyromuscularis
lateral cricoarytenoid (LCA) (function, location, origin and insertion)
-intrinsic adductor muscle (close glottis)
-function: rotates arytenoid cartilaged to bring the vocal processes closer by rocking inward and downward (closes glottis, step 2)
-insertion: muscular process of arytenoid
-origin: superior lateral surface of the cricoid
interarytenoids
-intrinsic adductors that include the transverse arytenoids (TA) and Oblique Arytenoid (OA)
