This is an unusually unpaired muscle in the body that seals the inferior portion of the thorax. It contracts vertically during inspiration.
What is the diaphragm
100
Inspiration involves bringing this element to the body's cells by breathing in
What is oxygen
100
The space located between the vocal folds
What is the glottis
100
The rate of vocal fold vibration
What is frequency
200
The clavicle and scapula are part of which girdle
What is the pectoral girdle
200
The volume of air that we breathe during a respiratory cycle.
What is tidal volume
200
This structure is located at the top of the last ring of the trachea
What is the larynx/cricoid
200
The frequency of vibration that is most efficient for a pair of vocal folds that varies with gender and age
What is optimal pitch
300
The structures of the respiration located here include the vertebrae, ribs, pectoral girdle, sternum, and pelvic girdle.
What is the bony thorax
300
This type of expiration is used when speaking
What is active expiration
300
The unpaired bone in which the larynx is placed
What is the hyoid bone
300
This mechanism comes from stretching and tensing the vocal folds
What is pitch-changing mechanism
400
These are the final structures of the respiratory passage.
What is the alveoli
400
This is the volume that cannot engage in gas exchange
What is residual volume
400
Muscles that have both origin and insertion on laryngeal cavities; innervated by the vagus nerve
What is intrinsic laryngeal muscles
400
The physical measure of power (or pressure) ratios
What is intensity
500
The lungs are completed surrounded by this to assist in friction-free movement of the lungs within the thoracic cavity.
What is pleura
500
The total amount of air that can be used for speech production; the combination of inspiratory reserve volume, expiratory reserve volume, and tidal volume
What is vital capacity
500
During resting position the vocal folds remain in this position to allow the process of respiration to continue
What is open
500
When this occurs, there will be a decrease in air pressure perpendicular to the flow and an increase in velocity of the flow
