Articulators
This articulator is the MOST important for shaping vowels and consonants.
What is the tongue?
This muscle is responsible for closing and rounding the lips.
What is the orbicularis oris?
/p/, /b/, /m/ are produced at this place.
What is bilabial?
This cavity is responsible for nasal resonance.
What is the nasal cavity?
A child substitutes /w/ for /r/. This involves difficulty with which articulator?
What is the tongue?
This structure separates the oral and nasal cavities anteriorly.
What is the hard palate?
This muscle helps spread the lips for smiling and producing /i/.
What is the risorius?
/t/, /d/, /s/, /z/ are produced at this ridge.
What is the alveolar ridge?
This port controls airflow between nasal and oral cavities.
What is the velopharyngeal port?
An interdental lisp involves incorrect placement of this structure.
What is the tongue (between teeth)?
This movable structure elevates to prevent nasal airflow during oral speech.
What is the soft palate (velum)?
This component of the orbicularis oris helps compress the lips horizontally, contributing to lip closure during speech.
What are the transverse fibers of the orbicularis oris?
/k/ and /g/ are produced at this place.
What is velar?
Failure of VP closure results in this speech characteristic.
What is hypernasality?
Cleft palate primarily affects which system?
What is the resonatory system?
These articulators are responsible for bilabial sounds like /p/, /b/, /m/.
What are the lips?
Weakness of this muscle would MOST affect production of bilabial sounds.
What is the orbicularis oris?
This place of articulation involves the tongue and hard palate.
What is palatal?
This occurs when too little nasal resonance is present.
What is hyponasality?
Weakness of the soft palate leads to this speech issue.
What is hypernasality?
This small structure hangs from the soft palate and assists in resonance.
What is the uvula?
This muscle depresses the tongue. a. hypoglossus b. styloglossus c. genioglossus
What is the hyoglossus?
/θ/ and /ð/ are produced at this place.
What is interdental?
This structure must elevate for proper oral resonance.
What is the velum (soft palate)?
A patient cannot achieve velopharyngeal closure. Name ONE likely consequence.
What is nasal air emission OR hypernasality OR reduced oral pressure?
