Quiz 9 Questions Flashcards
Which statement correctly describes the spatial relationship between the inferior longitudinal muscle and the styloglossus muscle?
a) The inferior longitudinal lies superficial to the styloglossus
b) The inferior longitudinal is medial to the styloglossus
c) The inferior longitudinal is lateral to the styloglossus
d) The inferior longitudinal originates from the styloid process
b) The inferior longitudinal is medial to the styloglossus
Which of the following muscles would be substantially activated during the production of [d], as in the word “middle”?
a) transverse
b) inferior longitudinal
c) vertical
d) superior longitudinal
d) superior longitudinal
Which of the following statements is FALSE about tongue bracing during speech production?
a) Bracing directs airflow through the target constriction site.
b) Medial constrictions are typically paired with medial bracing to maintain airflow.
c) Bracing provides somatosensory feedback about tongue position due to limited proprioception.
d) Bracing helps stabilize the tongue and improve the accuracy of constriction.
b) Medial constrictions are typically paired with medial bracing to maintain airflow.
Which of the following sets of speech sounds involves constrictions that can be reliably studied using electropalatography (EPG)?
a) [m, b]
b) [q, R]
c) [a, i]
d) [s, z]
d) [s, z]
True or False: The vertical muscle of the tongue primarily functions to narrow and elongate the tongue during speech articulation.
False
True or False: Within the tongue, the inferior longitudinal muscle is positioned more medially than the styloglossus muscle.
True
True or False: The lateral sound [l] in the word “middle” requires a narrow tongue, which is primarily achieved through contraction of the inferior longitudinal muscle.
False
True or False: Even though static palatography/linguography is a very low-tech method, it can be reliably used to determine whether a speaker curls their tongue tip backward when producing a retroflex stop.
True
