subglottal system Flashcards
1
Q
thoracic cavity
A
chest - lungs are in here
2
Q
trachea
A
windpipe - connects thoracic cavity to laryngeal system
3
Q
rib cage
A
in front of lungs
4
Q
diaphragm
A
muscle underneath lungs
5
Q
intercostal muscles
A
muscles in between each rib
6
Q
pulmonic
A
airflow initiated by lungs
7
Q
egressive
A
outwards airflow from the vocal tract
8
Q
inhalation
A
diaphragm lowers and intercostal muscles expand to make the rib cage move upwards and outwards-the thoracic cavity grows larger - decreasing the air pressure so the lungs fill with air and expand
9
Q
exhalation
A
diaphragm and intercostal muscles relax, exerting a gentle pressure on lungs forcing the air out
10
Q
which stage of sound production is subglottal associated with?
A
initiation - setting the airflow in motion
