Anatomical Structures
These structures form the thoracic cage.
What is the sternum, 12 pair of ribs, and the vertebral column?
This is the volume of air in the lungs upon the maximum effort of inspiration.
What is Total Lung Capacity?
Two instrumental measurements obtained through instrumentation that are usually performed in a pulmonologist's office of respiration are relevant to clinical practice in speech-language pathology.
What are Pulmonary Function Test (PFT) and Arterial blood Gas (ABG)?
The respiratory system is controlled by this system.
What is the nervous system?
This number of respiratory cycles occurs in 30 seconds.
What is 7-1010 seconds?
These are the muscles of inspiration.
What are the diaphragm and external intercostal muscles for inspiration?
These make up the four types of lung volumes.
What is Tidal Volume (TV), Inspiratory Volume (IV), Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV), and Residual Volume (RV)?
Three clinical parameters speech-language pathologists typically use to measure respiratory function
What is Respiratory rate, Oxygen saturation levels, and Maximum phonation time (MPT)
The diaphragm is innervated by this spinal nerve group.
What is the phrenic nerve?
Identify the ratio of one cycle of respiration during life-breathing versus speech production.
What is quiet (tidal) breathing, the cycle is 40% inhalation and 60% exhalation, and breathing for speech, the cycle is 10% inhalation and 90% exhalation.
This muscle forms the floor of the thorax and assumes a flattened and concave position during respiration.
What is the diaphragm?
The 4 types of lung capacities and the two or more lung volumes they include
What is Inspiratory Capacity (TC+IRV), Vital Capacity (IRC + TV + ERV), Functional residual Capacity (ERV+RV), and Total Lung Capacity (TV+ IRV + ERV + RV)
This intervention is provided by a licensed speech-language pathologist who has received certification in this specialty.
What is Respiratory Muscle Training?
The cranial nerve elevates the rib cage, clavicle, and sternum.
What is the XI (accessory) nerve>
Name three common respiratory conditions that compromise speech production.
What is Asthma, COPD, Occupational lung diseases, Pulmonary hypertension, and Dyspnea?
There are three parts of this anterior anatomical structure of the thoracic cavity.
What is the sternum, including the manubrum, body, and xyphoid?
This is the maximum volume of air that can be inspired from the tidal end-inspiratory level (peak of the tidal volume cycle).
What is Inspiratory Volume (IV)?
These three muscle physiology parameters are needed for a home exercise program.
What are the number of repetitions, number of sets (frequency of training), and specification of the resistance (setting on the device)?
The cranial nerve for smell.
What is cranial nerve I (olfactory)?
This medical emergency interrupts airflow and requires intubation and may require placement of a tracheostomy tube.
What is an airway obstruction preventing airflow from the upper respiratory tract to the lower respiratory tract?
11 connected muscles that fill the outer portions of the rib interspace that elevate ribs and stiffen their interspaces.
What are the external intercostal muscles?
The volume of air inspired or expired during the breathing cycle.
What is Tidal Volume?
Name these three classifications of respiratory conditions that receive benefit from respiratory muscle training.
What are restrictive, obstructive, and central?
These cranial nerves dilate the larynx and upper airway.
What are CNIX (glossopharyngeal), CNX (vagus), and CNXII (hypoglossal)?
Name the 5 ways the respiratory system sustains life and facilitates speech production.
What is 1. Pulmonary Ventilation (Breathing), 2. External Respiration Exchanges Gases Between the Lungs and the Bloodstream, 3. Internal Respiration Exchanges Gases Between the Bloodstream and Body Tissues, 4. Air Vibrating the Vocal Cords Creates Sound and 5. Aids in Olfaction, or Smelling, Is a Chemical Sensation?
