Q

Muscle movements which cause laryngeal elevation

A

Thyrohyoid muscle contraction and sternohyoid muscle relaxation

16
Q

Stimulation of this nerve exerts inhibitory effect on medullary inspiratory neurons in deglutition apnea

A

Superior laryngeal nerve

17
Q

Four components necessary for phonation

A

Articulator, resonator, vibrator, generator

18
Q

Parts of the body which act as articulators

A

Tongue, lips, cheek, teeth, palate

19
Q

Part of the body which acts as resonator

A

Space above vocal folds where sound waves travel

20
Q

Vibrators in phonation

A

Vocal folds

21
Q

Generators in phonation

A

Air from breath

22
Q

Importance of closing of vocal folds in phonation

A

Build up subglottic pressure

23
Q

Muscles involved in expiration

A

Diaphragm and rib cage muscles

24
Q

This effect manifests when vocal folds separate and the pressure between them drops, immediately closing them back

A

Bernoulli effect
