Respiration Terms
Another word for inhalation
inspiration
Skeletal framework of the respiratory system consisting of
the clavicles, ribs, sternum, pelvic girdle, scapu-
lae, and vertebral column.
Provide the necessary amount of air needed for speech (Speech Breathing) and vocal cord vibrations (Phonation) used for Voice Production
Mention three rib cage muscles.
Internal intercostal, external intercostal, pectoralis major.
The ratio in average breathing
40% (inhalation) and 60% (exhalation)
Synonym for exhalation
expiration
How many pairs of ribs do we have
12
Name and give an example of the forces of the Respiratory System
Passive Force (tidal breathing when sleeping) and Active Force (singing, speech, physical activity)
What is the role of the sternocleidomastoid muscle?
Elevates sternum and clavicle and ribs.
The ratio in average speech breathing
10% (inhalation) and 90% (exhalation)
smallest branches of the bronchi
bronchioles
the upper skeletal framework is formed by
pectoral girdle (shoulder girdle)
Which nerve is primarily responsible for controlling the diaphragm?
The phrenic nerve
Name two muscles involved in rib depression during exhalation.
The internal intercostal muscles and the abdominal muscles.
As an SLP, give an example of how would you measure breathing/respiration
Maximum Phonation Time (MPT)/Pulse Oximeter/Respiratory Muscle Training (RMT)
air rushes in through the airways to the alveoli, where the exchange of 02, a gas needed by the body cells is taken in, and the removing of C02, a gas that is a metabolic waste product
respiration
There are how many floating tibs are there
2
Name the cavity that contributes to resonance and articulation of speech sounds.
Oral cavity
What is the primary muscle responsible for inhalation?
Diaphragm
What are the four volumes of measurement?
Tidal Volume (TV), Residual Volume (RV), Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV), and Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV)
tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of 02 and C02 occurs b/w the lungs and bloodstream
alveoli
he first seven ribs are called true ribs, and they are the ribs that connect directly to
sternum with costal cartilages
Why is it important to have a person's body position to be upright when producing speech, instead of laying down?
Gravity exerts an expiratory force on the abdomen in supine, which pushes the diaphragm headward and reduces the lung volume at tidal end-expiration by 20% VC.
What is the name of the muscles located in the neck, that assist with deep inhalation by elevating the first two ribs?
The scalene muscles
What are the four capacities of measurement?
Inspiratory Capacity (IC), Vital Capacity (VC), Functional Residual Capacity (FRC), and Total Lung Capacity (TLC)
