Bones
This bone forms the anterior portion of the hard palate
What is the maxilla?
This structure is also known as the velum
What is the soft palate?
This is the most versatile articulator in the vocal tract
What is the tongue?
This explains why speech sounds overlap during fluent speech
What is coarticulation?
This stage begins when the bolus reaches the anterior faucial pillars
What is the pharyngeal phase?
This bone houses the upper teeth
What is the maxilla?
The function of this muscle is to compress the cheeks
What is the buccinator?
This muscle is responsible for tongue tip elevation
What is the superior longitudinal?
This is the development of the hard and soft palate
What is palatogenesis?
These two stages are involuntary
What are the pharyngeal and esophageal?
This bone forms the posterior portion of the hard palate
What is the palatine?
This muscle elevates the soft palate during speech and swallowing
What is the levator veli palatini?
This happens when the velum does not close fully during speech
What is hypernasality?
This assesses rapid alternating articulator coordination
What is DDK rate?
This muscle forms the primary structure of the UES
What is the cricopharyngeus?
This is a sign of abnormal craniofacial development
Equal facial and cranial size
This paired muscle makes up most of the tongue body and is responsible for fine motor control
What is the genioglossus?
The function of this structure is they give rise to critical face and neck structures during development
What are the pharyngeal arches?
This is the best imaging technique for tracking rapid articulatory movement
What is EMA?
This type of bolus movement occurs during the esophageal stage
What is peristaltic wave propulsion?
This class of occlusion is an overbite
What is class 2?
This intrinsic muscle flattens the tongue
What is the vertical?
This is not a laryngeal airway protection method
What is buccal tension?
This is the likely impact of aging on the articulatory system
What is bone loss and muscle atrophy?
These are the primary clinical concerns during the pharyngeal phase during swallowing
What are penetration or aspiration?
