DYSFUNCTIONS AND DISORDERS
DISORDERS / DEFECTS
100

This cavity acts as a filter and air conditioner to protect the lower airways.

Nasal Cavity

100

Largest facial bone that houses the teeth. Provides a point of attachment for the tongue.

Mandible

100

The primary reponsibiluty of this labial muscle is depression.

Inferior Longitudinal Muscle

100

This occurs when your velopharyngeal valce does not close properly while speaking, letting air into the nasal cavity.

Hypernasality

100

Prior to surgery, the following strategies and techniques can be used to facilitate feeding for what defect?

-placing the baby in an upright position while feeding to help prevent nasal regurgitation; 

-providing jaw and cheek support, 

-using the appropriate nipple size; 

-positioning the nipple optimally (e.g., away from the side of cleft, if unilateral);

-burping frequently to counter excessive air intake; and

-limiting feeding time (e.g., no more than 30 minutes) to avoid fatigue 

Cleft Palate

200

This cavity is comprised of the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.

Pharyngeal Cavity

200

This anatomical structure forms the roof od the oral cavity and the floor of the nasal cavity.

Hard Palate

200

What would happen if the velum fails to elevate when we swallow?

Food or liquid would reflux into our nasal cavity.

200

This type of disorder is categorized by an imbalance in how much oral and nasal sound energy is produced when speaking.

Resonance Disorder

200

As children get older, articulation for individuals with this defect may be characterized by a restricted phonetic inventory, sound substitutions/omissions, and compensatory articulation errors, and expressive language development can be delayed but often catches up with age.

Cleft Palate

300

This cavity is the area inside of the cheek.

Buccal Cavity

300

Continuous with the hard palate. Separates the oral cavity from the nasal cavity.

Velum

300

Tongue protrusion requires which muscles?

Posterior Genioglossus (draws tongue forward), and Vertical and Transvere Intrinsic Muscles (shapes tongue)

300

A blockage in one's nasal cavity can cause this.

Hyponasality

300

This type of resonance disorder has to do with sound getting "trapped" as it exits part of the vocal tract.

Cul-de-sac Resonance

400

This cavity consisters of the lips anteriorly, the cheeks laterally, two rows of teeth, the hard palate, velum, and tongue. 

Oral Cavity

400

Attachment for upper and lower lip to alveolar process.

Labial Frenulum / Frenum

400

This muscle category is responsible for changing the position of the tongue (e.g. elevate, depress, forward, or backward).

Extrinsic Muscles

400

The most common cause of this insufficiency is cleft palate or submucuois cleft palate. 

Velopharyngeal Insufficiency

400

Issues with this valve can cause complications with speech and swallowing.

Velopharyngeal Valve

500

The pharyngeal cavity is approximately how long?

12 cm

500

Nasal, lacrimal, inferior nasal concha, maxilla, mandible, palatine, zygomatic, and vomer are all examples of what?

Facial Bones

500

What us the labor producer for speech?

Tongue

500

When the seal between your oral and nasal cavities does not close completely, this is called what?

Velopharyngeal Dysfunction

500

The most common types of surgery for this disorder are furlow palatoplasty, pharyngeal flap, or a posterior pharyngeal wall injection augmentation.
