Identify 2.

Epiglottis

300

This leaf-shaped cartilage folds over the vocal folds during swallowing to keep foreign matter out of lungs.


Epiglottis

300

________ is the result of the vocal folds' and airflow working together to produce tone.

Phonation

300

_____ are attached to the ribs and fill in gaps with muscles and membranes.

Intercostals

Identify 5.

Thyroid Cartilage

300

Identify 7.

Trachea

400

What is the only true bone in the larynx?

Hyoid Bone

400

______ onset occurs when air pressure builds up below strongly adducted vocal folds  and explodes them apart upon initiating sound.

Glottal Onset

400

What are the 4 principal components of the breathing machine?

  1. Skeletal Framework

  2. Head Airways and Larynx

  3. Sublaryngeal System

  4. Musculature

Identify 1.

Hyoid Bone

Identify 6.

Cricoid Cartilage

500

______ lengthens and tenses vocal cords by tilting thyroid cartilage forwards

cricothyroid

500

_____ onset occurs anytime someone uses an "h" to initiate a tone.

Aspirate 

500

Explain what the diaphragm looks like and how it moves as one inhales and exhales.

  • Two irregular domes; the right side is slightly higher than the left.
  • Inhalation = diaphragm flattens, like a salad plate

  • Exhalation (or at rest) = inverted salad blow, dome shape
