This dome-shaped muscle is the primary driver of inhalation
Diaphragm
The organs of breathing are the...
Lungs
List the 3 variables that influences speech breathing.
1. Body position
2. Age
3. Body type
During inspiration the diaphragm
How many lung volumes and lung capacities are there each?
4 lung volumes
4 lung capacities
This is the small passageway that leads air from the trachea into the lungs, eventually branching into smaller tubes.
Bronchus or Bronchi
This cartilaginous structure sits at the top of the trachea and houses the vocal folds.
larynx
What are the two forms of speech breathing?
Extended steady utterances and running speech activities
During expiration the diaphragm
Relaxes and cause the intrapulmonary volume to decrease
What are the two actions involved in the respiratory cycle?
Inhalation and Exhalation
This refers to the air left in your lungs after a maximal exhale — it keeps your lungs from collapsing.
Residual volume
What is the name of the site in which carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged?
The alveoli.
What factors does the respiratory system contribute to?
These rib muscles help compress the rib cage during forced exhalation.
Internal intercostal muscles
What is the total amount of air inhaled or exhaled during normal breathing called?
The lungs and chest wall are held together by these two layers with fluid in between.
Pleural membranes
These muscles run between the ribs and help expand and contract the rib cage during breathing.
intercostal muscles
Speech breathing is associated with ____ under the circumstance of the nature of the speaking activity.
Hyperventilation
These muscles between the ribs lift the rib cage up and out during inhalation.
external intercostal muscles
What is the total lung capacity (TLC)?
This is the term for the total amount of air a person can exhale after taking the deepest breath possible.
Vital Capacity
What are the subdivisions of the respiratory system and their components?
Pulmonary apparatus (lungs and airways)
Chest wall (rib cage wall, diaphragm, abdominal wall, and abdominal content
During running speech activities, explain the shape of the chest wall and the purpose of the movement
The abdominal wall depresses, and the diaphragm is pushed headward creating a dome which allows for quick and powerful inspirations during speech production
This neck muscle lifts the sternum and clavicle during deep or labored inhalation.
sternocleidomastoid
What is the calculation for determining the the Functional Residual Capacity (FRC)?
(FRC)= ERV+RV
