  • Lacks well defined insertion points
  • Lacks tendonous connections
  • Not divided into distinct muscle groups
  • Differ vastly in their orientation

Q

Contraction Principles for Facial Musculature

A
  • Contraction often doesn’t result in simple actions along a single anatomical plane but rather is 3-D
  • Changes occur vertically, horizontally and out into space

Q

Why does contraction often not result in simple actions along a single anatomical plane but rather is 3-D and why do changes occur vertically, horizontally and out into space?

A
  • Lower face muscles are not limited in terms of movement by joints
  • Facial muscles change the shape of oral cavity for generating unique articulatory, acoustical and gestural outputs
  • Several different muscle groups work together to generate an acoustically acceptable articulation for a sound or to generate a specific facial expression

Q

Velophrayngeal Port

A
32
Q

VP modifies ….

A

VP modifies degree of coupling between nasopharynx & rest of vocal tract

33
Q

VP - •Partitions the vocal tract

A

•As velum is raised or lowered, overall shape and resonance of vocal tract is altered

34
Q

VP For Nasal Sounds

A

•Velum is lowered to add length and a 2nd resonating cavity to vocal tract

35
Q

VP - Non-nasal sounds

A

•Velum is elevated and retracted to varying degrees to seal VP port and partition the nasal cavity

36
Q

(VP) - Insufficiency •or inadequate close of VP mechanism may result in:

A
  • Nasalized speech
  • Inability to generate Po (oral pressure) for the production of plosives, fricatives and non-nasal vowels
  • Nasal emission
37
Q

VP Port Closure - Highly _____________ between muscles of velum and muscles of pharynx

A

•Highly synchronous activity between muscles of velum and muscles of pharynx

38
Q

•Velum moves_________________ to make contact with posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW), thus increasing _____________of velum

A

•Velum moves superiorly and posteriorly to make contact with posterior pharyngeal wall (PPW), thus increasing bulk and length of velum

39
Q

Velum Forms a ____________ as it moves up and back

A

Velumm Forms a “Velar knee” as it moves up and back

40
Q

During production of non-nasal sounds for speech the velophrayngeal port’s goal is to….

A

to reduce cross-sectional diameter of VP port

41
Q

Which is moving more in the velopharyngeal port?

A

Velum moves the most.

42
Q

In the Velopharyngeal port the Lateral pharyngeal wall (LPW) has ________ motion and thr PPW demonstrates __________ motion

A

In the Velopharyngeal port the Lateral pharyngeal wall (LPW) has medial motion and the PPW demonstrates only a little motion

43
Q

Levator Veli Palatini

A
  • The “velar sling”
  • Major muscle that contributes to upward and backward movement of velar tissue
44
Q

Levator Veli Palatini- origin, insertion, and action

A
  • Origin - temporal bone
  • Insertion - soft palate at midline
  • Action:
  • Forms a sling through velum to elevate and retract due to slight A-P orientation
45
Q

Tensor Veli Palatini (action)

A

•Action - tense anterior velum (aiding in closure), open eustachian tube to permit equalization of air pressure in middle ear

46
Q

Musclulus Uvulae (action)

A
  • Action - shorten and thicken superior (nasal) surface of velum
  • Increases bulk of velum for improved closure of VP port. Lack of muscle bulk may lead to air leaking through nasal cavity (hypernasality)
47
Q

Palatoglossus ( The anterior faucial pillar) (action)

A
  • Action - lower velum or decrease distance between left and right faucial pillars
  • elevate and retract the tongue if velum is stabilized
48
Q

Palatopharyngeus (The posterior faucial pillar) (action)

A
  • Lowers velum
  • Narrows pharynx
49

Q

Pharynx and Swallowing- •Pharynx can be subdivided into three sections:

A
  1. Nasopharynx,
  2. Oropharynx,
  3. Laryngopharynx
51
Q

Pharynx and Swallowing-•Each section is bounded by …..

A

Thin sheets of muscle

52
Q

What thin sheets of muscle bind the sections of the pharynx?

A

•(pharyngeal constrictor muscles).

53
Q

pharyngeal constrictor muscles allow us to …

A

These muscles allow us to increase or decrease diameter of the pharynx. •This aids in swallowing as well as in changing the resonant properties of the vocal tract.

54
Q

Here’s a view of the three constrictor muscles of the pharynx

A
  1. superior
  2. middle
  3. inferior
55
Q

The Superior Pharyngeal Constrictor is….

A

•Large muscle, fibers course horizontally, forms “tube–like” structure

56
Q

THE SUPERIOR PHARYNGEAL CONSTRICTOR DOES…

A
  • Action:
  • reduce pharyngeal cross sectional area
  • drawing lateral pharyngeal walls and posterior pharyngeal walls inward to close off nasopharynx during swallowing and speech
57
Q

Middle Pharyngeal Constrictor is…

A

•MPC is a sheet of muscle

58
Q

Middle Pharyngeal Constrictor does (action)

A

Action - primarily pharyngeal constriction

59
Q

The Inferior Pharyngeal Constrictor is…

A

IPC is the most inferior of a group of muscles that form muscular wall of the pharynx

60
Q

Inferior aspect of IPC is…

A

Inferior aspect of IPC is the cricopharyngeus (upper sphincter for the esophagus)

61
Q

Inferior Pharyngeal Constrictor does… (action)

A

Action - decreases diameter of lower pharynx

62
Q

Stylopharyngeus (action)

A

•Action - elevates and widens the pharynx, especially during swallowing

63
Q

How often do we swallow?

A

About 600 - 2000 times a day

64
Q

Why do we swallow?

A

Basic biological function

65
Q

swallowing is a complex act that involves…

A

activity of the mouth, pharynx, larynx, and esophagus

66
Q

swallowing is also known as…

A

Deglutition

67
Q

Deglutition is a process of… (describe the sequence)

A
  • Process of moving a bolus of food or liquid into and through the gastric tract
  • Pharyngeal walls contract sequentially to move food through the tract
  • Velopharyngeal (VP) port closes to restrict food (or liquid) from passing into nasal cavity. Closure of VP port is largely dependent on posterior and lateral pharyngeal wall movement (this is different than closure of the port for speech…)
  • Most of process is involuntary: voluntary portion ends when bolus triggers swallowing reflex at level of anterior faucial pillar
68
Q

Swallowing •May be voluntarily or unconsciously initiated (True or false?)

A

true

69
Q

Swallowing & respiration are..

A

reciprocal functions:

respiration halts during swallowing

70
Q

Swallowing has 3 (4) phases:

A
  1. (Oral preparatory)
  2. Oral propulsive
  3. Pharyngeal
  4. Esophageal
