Voice Flashcards
During quiet inhalation the vocal folds (abduct/adduct), moving (towards/away) from the midline and (widening/shortening) the glottis.
abduct; away; widening
During quiet exhalation the vocal folds (abduct/adduct), moving (towards/away) from the midline and (widening/shortening) the glottis.
adduct; toward; always maintaining open glottal airway
The larynx moves (vertically/horizontally) during respiration; it moves (upward/downward) during inhalation, and (upward/downward) during expiration.
vertically; downward; upward
The downward movement (decreases/increases) the size of the inlet, admitting a larger volume of inhaled air; co-occurs with downward movement of the diaphragm.
increases
The larynx is sealed to prevent air from (entering/escaping) from the lungs during effortful physical work, such as lifting and pushing. What is this process called?
escaping; Effortful Closure
What compresses the thoracic and abdominal contents during coughing, throat clearing, vomiting, defecation, childbirth, etc?
Effortful Closure
True or false. The hyoid bone is a part of the larynx.
False
What structure is most impactful for respiration than any other function?
larynx
Which structure of the larynx are brought to the midline during Effortful Closure?
Arytenoid Cartilage
The _______ cartilage is elevated during effortful closure, approximating the hyoid bone, as subglottic pressure increases/decreases.
Thyroid Cartilage; increases
When does the larynx begin to rise?
When bolus enters back of tongue
True or False. The Extrinsic Laryngeal Muscles will always have one connected to the larynx and one connected to an outside structure.
True
What happens during rising and lowering of Larynx?
What are the three major extrinsic laryngeal muscles
Sternothyroid, Thyrohyoid, Inferior pharyngeal constrictor
Which muscles attach to the hyoid bone and influence the position and stability of the larynx?
To the hyoid bone and influence the position and stability of the larynx
Where do the Supplementary Muscles attach?
Supplementary Muscles
Which group of Supplementary Muscles insert into the hyoid bone from the skull? Contraction of these muscles raise the larynx
Suprahyoid group
Which group of Supplementary Muscles insert into the hyoid bone from the sternum? Contraction of these muscles lower the larynx.
Infrahyoid group
Which muscles are considered Suprahyoid Supplementary Muscles? There are four.
Digastric, Geniohyoid, Mylohyoid, Stylohyoid
Which muscles are considered Infrahyoid Supplementary Muscles? There are three.
Thyrohyoid, Omohyoid, Sternohyoid
True or False: The extrinsic laryngeal muscles also come into play slightly during production of higher and lower pitches (especially in untrained singers)
True
Which structures raise the larynx? Pick seven.
Digastrics, Geniohyoid, Mylohyoid, Stylohyoid, Genioglossus, Hyoglossus, Thyrohyoid
Which structures lower the larynx? Pick three.
Omohyoid, Sternohyoid, Sternothyroid
(3) ?
(4) True
(5) Perichondrium
Which structures move the larynx forward? Pick five.
Sternothyroid, Digastric, Mylohyoid, Geniohyoid, Genioglossus
Which structures move the larynx backward? Pick three.
Omohyoid, Digastric, Stylohyoid
Which cartilages are paired? Unpaired? Epiglottis, Thyroid, Cricoid, Arytenoid, Corniculate, Cuneiform
Paired: arytenoid, corniculate, cuneiform. Unpaired: epiglottis, thyroid, cricoid
Which cartilages are elastic? Hyaline? Epiglottis, Thyroid, Cricoid, Arytenoid, Corniculate, Cuneiform
Elastic: epiglottis, corniculate, cuneiform. Hyaline: Thyroid, Cricoid, Arytenoid
What are three types of cartilages in the body?
True or False: The epiglottis contributes very little to speech.
True
What is the name of the tough leathery covering on laryngeal cartilages?
Perichondrium
What is the cone shaped, elastic cartilage that extends into the aryepiglottic folds?
The ______ is also known as the laryngeal vestibule and is the entrance to the larynx.
The aditus laryngis is a __________-shaped opening, wider in front than back and slopes obliquely down and back.
The filtering affect continually changes as the need for voice production changes.
The ventricular folds are also known as the _______ vocal folds.
The ___________ is the space between the false and true vocal folds.
The area between the vocal folds is called the _____ _________.
