what structures are involved with phonation?
larynx
vocal folds
what structures are involved in resonation?
oral, nasal and pharyngeal cavaities
what structures are involved in respiration?
lungs, airways, trachea, rib cage, abdomen, diaphragm.
what are the bilabial sounds?
p, b, m
The average number of glottal openings per second is known as a persons….
fundamental frequency
what is timbre?
tonal quality unique to each person.
what is the mechanism involved in vocal fold vibration?
subglottal air pressure
what position are the vocal folds at the onset of phonation?
they move toward the midline into adducted position.
what is the process of phonation?
vocal fold adduct subglottal pressure builds vocal folds forced apart glottis opens pressure decreases vocal folds adduct again
why is the velopharyngeal mechanism important for resonance?
it helps to decipher between speech sounds (nasal and nonnasal)
is the velopharyngeal port opened or closed for nasals sounds?
open
what role does resonance play in the production of vowels?
vowels are produced by manipulating the mouth openings and tongue positions (resonators) , creating different vowel qualities.
what are harmonics related to?
fundamental frequency
during inhalation, the alveolar pressure is
less than the atmospheric pressure
