Resonance And Articulation Flashcards
What is articulation?
Articulation is the process of joining two elements; it is the process of bringing two or more moveable speech structure together to form the sounds of speech
What is the articulatory system?
The articulatory system is the system of mobile and immobile articulators brought into contact for the purpose of shaping the sounds of speech.
What is the resonatory system?
Portion of the vocal tract through which the acoustical product of vocal fold vibration resonates (usually the oral, pharyngeal, and nasal cavities combined)
This theory states that speech is the product of sending an acoustic source, such as the sound produced by the vibrating folds, through the filter of the vocal tract that shapes the output.
Source-filter theory
Frequency of sound to which the cavity most effectively responds
Resonant frequency
This is largely governed by the volume and length of the cavity
Resonant frequency
This is the largest mobile articulator
Tongue
What are the mobile articulators?
Tongue, mandible, velum, lips, cheeks, pharynx, and larynx
What are the immobile articulators?
Alveolar ridge of maxilla, hard palate, and teeth
What are the two types of articulators?
Immobile and mobile
What are the bones of the face?
Mandible, maxilla, nasal bone, palatine bones, nasal conchae, vomer, zygomatic bones, lacrimal bones, hyoid bone
It is a massive unpaired bone making up the lower jaw of the face. It begins as a paired bone but fuses at the midline by the child’s first birthday.
Mandible
Where is the point of fusion of the two halves of the mandible?
Symphysis menti or mental symphysis
This is the hole through which the mental nerve of trigeminal nerve V passes in life
Mental foramen
This provides the lower dental arch, alveolar region, and resting location of the tongue
Mandible
This provides the hard palate, point of attachment for the soft palate, alveolar ridge, upper dental arch, and dominant structures of the nasal cavities
Maxillae
The zygomatic bone articulates with the _________ and ________ to form the _________?
The zygomatic bone articulates with the frontal bone and maxillae to form the cheekbone.
These small bones provide the upper margin of the nasal cavity
Nasal bones
The midline vomer articulates with the perpendicular plate of the ___________ and the cartilaginous septum to form _________
The midline vomer articulates with the perpendicular plate of the ethmoid and cartilaginous septum to form the nasal septum
This serves as the core of the skull and face, with the prominent crista galli protruding into the cranium and the perpendicular plate dividing the nasal cavities
Ethmoid bone
This is the point of fusion of palatine process and premaxilla
Premaxillary suture
The are small bones that make up the superior nasal surface
Nasal bones
This makes up the posterior 1/4 part of the hard palate
Palatine bone
Warms and humidifies the air. These are small, scroll-like bones located on the lateral surface of the nasal cavity.
Nasal conchae
