100

This dome-shaped muscle is the primary driver of inhalation

Diaphragm 

100

The organs of breathing are the...

Lungs



100

List the 3 variables that influences speech breathing.

1. Body position

2. Age

3. Body type

100

During inspiration the diaphragm 

flattens and pushes down creating more volume within our lungs
100

How many lung volumes and lung capacities are there each?

4 lung volumes 

4 lung capacities

200

This is the small passageway that leads air from the trachea into the lungs, eventually branching into smaller tubes.

Bronchus or Bronchi 

200

This cartilaginous structure sits at the top of the trachea and houses the vocal folds.

larynx

200

What are the two forms of speech breathing?

Extended steady utterances and running speech activities


200

During expiration the diaphragm

Relaxes and cause the intrapulmonary volume to decrease 

200

What are the two actions involved in the respiratory cycle?

Inhalation and Exhalation

300

This refers to the air left in your lungs after a maximal exhale — it keeps your lungs from collapsing.

Residual volume

300

What is the name of the site in which carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged?

The alveoli.

300

What factors does the respiratory system contribute to?

It contributes to the loudness, the emphasis, and the division of speech into syllables/words/phrases.
300

These rib muscles help compress the rib cage during forced exhalation.

Internal intercostal muscles 

300

What is the total amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing called?

It is called the tidal volume.
400

The lungs and chest wall are held together by these two layers with fluid in between.

Pleural membranes

400

These muscles run between the ribs and help expand and contract the rib cage during breathing.

intercostal muscles

400

Speech breathing is associated with ____ under the circumstance of the nature of the speaking activity.

Hyperventilation

400

These muscles between the ribs lift the rib cage up and out during inhalation.

external intercostal muscles

400

What is the total lung capacity (TLC)?

It is the volume of the air found in the pulmonary apparatus after maximum inspiration occurs.
500

This is the term for the total amount of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath possible.

Vital Capacity 

500

What are the subdivisions of the respiratory system and their components?

Pulmonary apparatus (lungs and airways)

Chest wall (rib cage wall, diaphragm, abdominal wall, and abdominal content

500

During running speech activities, explain the shape of the chest wall and the purpose of the movement

The abdominal wall depresses, and the diaphragm is pushed headward creating a dome which allows for quick and powerful inspirations during speech production

500

This neck muscle lifts the sternum and clavicle during deep or labored inhalation.

sternocleidomastoid

500

What is the calculation for determining the the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)?

(FRC)= ERV+RV
