Production Flashcards
functions of the larynx
protection
respiration
speech
protection (sphincter)
swallowing
prevent aspiration
sphincter muscle
laryngeal reflex
prevents aspiration
laryngeal reflex
closes airway when swallowing
phonation
movement of arytenoids and vocal cords
respiratory
abduct on inspiration
adduct on expiration
extrinsic muscles: infrahyoid
omohyoid
sternohyoid
thyrohyoid
extrinsic muscles: suprahyoid
stylohyoid
digastric
mylohyoid
geniohyoid
extrinsic muscles
raises and lowers the larynx
provides stability
supports swallowing/breathing
intrinsic muscles: adductors
lateral cricoarytenoid
transverse arytenoid
intrinsic muscles: abductors
posterior cricoarytenoid
intrinsic muscles: sphincters
transverse arytenoid
oblique arytenoid
aryepiglottic
cricothyroid
tense vocal cords
thyroarytenoid
vocalis
relax vocal cords
posterior cricoarytenoid
abducts vocal cords
CN 10
transverse arytenoid
oblique arytenoid
adduct arytenoids and vocal folds
cricothyroid and cricoarytenoid muscles
glide, tilt, twist larynx
lateral cricoarytenoid muscle
adduction by rocking arytenoids
voiced sounds
vibration of vocal folds
abduction
voiceless sounds
produced by mouth/throat
adduction
production of glottal stop
vfs closed and suddenly open
body cover model
how the vocal fold structure help frequencies, amplitudes and qualities of human vocal chords
aerodynamic myoelastic theory of phonation
phonation is passive process controlled by air pressure and airflow
mechanical factors in muscular activity
Bernoulli effect
pressure in a fluid decreases as velocity increases
bernoulli effect during voicing
airflow increases when vocal folds blow open causing a drop in pressures perpendicular to the airflow
what happens when the pressure drops in the bernoulli effect?
vocal folds snap
fundamental frequency
number of times the vfs blow open and come together per second
MEN fundamental frequency
100 hz
WOMEN fundamental frequency
200 hz
CHILDREN fundamental frequency
300 hz
spastic dysphonia
spasms that interfere with vocal fold vibrations
