physiology of the phonatory system Flashcards
is there muscle in the false VFs?
no
the false VFs are the _____
outer layers
the true VFs are the __________
inner layers
the superficial and epithelial tissue make the
cover layer
the intermediate and the deep make the
vocal ligament
the superficial, intermediate, and deep make the
lamina propia
the vocal folds are made up of
5 layers with 5 tissue types
the average female thyroid cartilage has a ________________
broader thyroid angle
the broader thyroid angle causes a __________ between the adducted vocal folds
posterior glottal gap
the posterior glottal gap leads to
breathiness
males have a __ angle
smaller
opening and closing the glottis by active muscular force
abduction and adduction
adduction helps with
swallowing and phonating
abduction helps with
breathing
opening and closing the adducted vocal folds by aerodynamic and myoelasic forces; also determines pitch
vocal fold vibration
opening and closing the glottis using the muscles of
adduction and abduction
glottal friction aspiration
noise
breathy , normal, creaky
voicing
glottal stop
silence
over adduction of the VFs can cause
creaky voice
- allowing airflow and sublgottal pressure to blow the adducted vocal folds apart
- allowing elastic recoil forces and the bernouli effect to bring them back together
the open/close cycle of VF vibration
what determines if the VFs are open or closed
arytenoids
1st step in one cycle of phonation
VFs are adducted and subglottal pressure begins to build up
2nd step in one cycle of phonation
subglottal pressure begins to deform the inferior surface of the VFs as pressure continues to build (like skydiving)
3rd step in one cycle of phonation
- traveling surface wave in the mucosa
- the mass of high pressure air begins to develop modulations as it is affected by the motion of the mucosa
4th step in one cycle of phonation
the complex wave of compressed subglottal air breaks free and begins to emerge, from between the VFs — a glottal pulse
5th step in one cycle of phonation
aerodynamic and elastic recoil forces begin to bring to VFs back together
bernouli effect begins to occur
