 Name the four sub systems involved in the communication process

What are velopharyngeal, pharyngeal oral, laryngeal, respiratory

100

Anatomy is..

Physiology is..

Anatomy is the study of the structure of an organism 

 Physiology is the study of the function of the living organism and its parts, as well as the chemical process 

100

The position with the body erect with the arms at the sides and the palms forward is referred to as the ______________ position

Anatomical position:  Upright, palms forward, eyes directly ahead, feet together

100

list and define the skeletal framework of the larynx

What are the cricoid cartilages, arytenoid cartilages, thyroid cartilage, hyoid bone, and epiglottis

100

List the four primary types of tissue.


 epithelial

 connective

 muscle

 neural

100

The three phases of swallowing

What is oral, pharyngeal and esophageal

200

 How is Respiratory involved in the communication process?

The respiratory system (involving the lungs) provides the “energy source” for speech

200

Adduction is

Abduction is

vocal cords coming together toward the midline

Vocal cors moving away from the midline

200

What is the difference between midsagittal and sagittal planes?

Sagittal Section- Left and right portion but not equal

Midsagittal plane – divides the body into equal halves (right and left halves) at the medial plane

Sagittal plane – divides the body into right and left parts that are unequal.

200

The space between the vocal folds

What is the glottis

200

Describe the purpose of connective tissue.

Connective tissues bind structures together, form a framework and support for organs and the body as a whole, store fat, transport substances, protect against disease, and help repair tissue damage. They occur throughout the body. Connective tissues are characterized by an abundance of intercellular matrix with relatively few cells.

Connective tissue cells are able to reproduce but not as rapidly as epithelial cells. Most

connective tissues have a good blood supply but some do not.

200

The four lobes of the brain


What are Occipital, temporal, parietal, frontal

300

How is the articulatory/resonatory system involved in the communication process?

The articulatory/resonatory system modifies the acoustic source provided by voicing (or other gestures) to produce the sounds we acknowledge as speech 

Responsible for the movement of structures to produce speech sounds Add nasal (air flowing into nasal cavity) – oral (airflow through the mouth (differenate between phonemes)

300

Descriptive Anatomy is..

Descriptive anatomy (systemic anatomy) – the part of anatomy involved in the description of individual parts of the body and the relations to functional systems, but not of their disease conditions. For example, the study of the anatomical parts of the larynx and their relation to phonation.

300

5. ______ near the tail or hind parts; posterior


6. ______ relating to the skull or cranium


5. Caudal is near the tail or hind parts; posterior


6. Cranial is relating to the skull or cranium

300

The main variables that influence laryngeal structure and function

What are age and gender

300

Name the 3 longitudinal pharyngeal muscles and define their purpose

What are the salpingopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus

shorten the pharynx

300

a collection of blood that forms between the dura mater (the outer layer of the brain's protective membranes) and the brain itself.

What is a subdural hematoma

400

 Name the four hearing subsystems

What are outer ear, middle ear and inner ear

400

Gross Anatomy is..

Gross (macroscopic anatomy) - The study of the organs, parts, and structures of a body that are visible to the naked eye.

400

7. ______of, at, toward, or from the side or sides. A side part of something


8. ______furthest away from the center of the body or from the point of attachment

7. Lateral: toward the side of the body

8. Distal: Further from the trunk or thorax; further from the attached end 

400

The rate at which the vocal folds vibrae

What is fundamental frequency

400

These are muscles that fill the outer portion of the rib spaces. they expand the thoracic cage by elevating and extending the sternum.

What are the external intercostal muscles

400

 the structures of neurons, which conduct electrical impulses toward the cell body of the nerve cell.

What are dendrites

500

 Name and define the stages of spoken communication

What are neural, muscular, structural, aeromechanical, acoustic, auditory, neuroperceptual
500

Microscopic anatomy is..

Microscopic anatomy – the study of body structures through the use of microscopy.

500

9. ______ (frontal plane) is any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal (belly and back) sections


10. ______ nearer to the center of the body or the point of attachment

9: Coronal plane: Any vertical plane that divides the body into ventral and dorsal sections. 

10. Proximal:  Closer to the trunk or thorax; nearer to the attached end

500

A form of sudden explosive bursts, usually involving a glottal stop plosive 

What are transient utterances

500

Name the pharyngeal constrictors. Define their purpose

What superior, medial, inferior

constrict the pharynx

500

The Meningeal layers

What are the


•Dura mater

•Arachnoid mater

•Pia mater

600

Name and define the respiratory subsystems and its divisions

What are pulmonary apparatus (lungs and airways)

Chest wall (rib cage, diaphragm, abdominal wall)

600

Surface Anatomy is..

The study of internal structures as they relate to the overlying skin surface e.g. the clavicle and ribs can be viewed in part by observing the skin surface.

600

Another term for posterior is ____________________________ and anterior is


__________________.

Posterior- AKA -Dorsal: Pertaining to the back of the body or the posterior surface 

Anterior AKA -Ventral: Pertaining to the belly or anterior surface 

600

Laryngeal function is concerned mainly with protecting what?

What are pulmonary airways, containment of pulmonary air supply, and sound generation

600

These muscles lie in the inner portion of the rib interspaces.

they enable forced expiration by depressing the ribs, thus shrinking the diameter of the thoracic cavity and pushing the air out of the lungs.
