86
Q

What is the process of inspiration and expiration?

A

Ventilation

87

103
Q
  1. vocal folds are adducted, and air pressure builds up below them
  2. as air pressure rises, the bottom of folds are forced apart
  3. pressure then forces folds apart at the middle, then at the top, until air freely flows
  4. pressure decreases
  5. as pressure decreases, the folds move toward the midline (bottom first and top last)
