Basic Elements
The study of the structure of an organism
What is anatomy?
The gas exchanging mechanism that is supported and protected by bones?
What is the respiratory system?
The production of voice or vocalization.
What is phonation?
The formation of clear and distinct speech sounds through the process of bringing two or more moveable speech structures together?
What is articulation?
This nervous system includes the following components: cerebrum, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord.
What is the central nervous system?
the study of the function of a living organism and its parts
What is physiology?
bronchus, bronchi, bronchiole, alveoli
What is the Bronchial Tree?
The term used to describe vocal folds opening from back to front?
What is abduction?
The process of modifying the sound signal by either amplifying the sound or dampening it?
What is the resonatory system?
This nervous system includes the following components: cranial and spinal nerves.
What is the peripheral nervous system?
Coronal, Transverse, Sagittal
What are planes of the body?
The structures that are essential for respiration and the location of air exchange.
What are the alveoli?
modal, glottal, vocal fry, falsetto, and whisper
What are the vocal registers?
These speech sounds are are a result of the voicing air turbulence known as the source and the vocal tract is known as the filter.
What are vowels?
The nerves that take sensations from the cranial nerves translated by the peripheral nervous system.
What are efferent nerves?
Phonatory, Articulatory, Respiratory, Resonatory
What are the systems of speech?
This is NOT a muscle of exhalation?
What is the diaphragm?
The laryngeal cavity that contains the vocal folds.
What is the ventricular cavity?
teeth, hard palate and alveolar ridge
What are passive articulators?
The lobe responsible for motor functions, planning, and memory.
What is the frontal lobe?
A connective tissue that is both strong and elastic.
What is cartilage?
The capacity utilized during speech production.
What is the vital capacity?
stiffness, inertia, and elasticity
What are the properties of vocal fold vibration?
What is the buccal cavity?
This cranial nerve is responsible for pain, touch, temperature + pharynx, hard palate, larynx, + velum movement.
What is the Vagus Nerve (CN X)?
