How Do I Do That?
What is RIOT?
This is the only bone in the laryngeal mechanism?
What is the hyoid bone?
The deepest part of a vocal fold.
What is the vocalis muscle?
The main purpose of external laryngeal muscles is to:
What is help to raise and lower the laryngeal mechanism?
Another word for closure of the velopharyngeal port and the VFs.
What is valving?
Instrumentation that allows a direct view of the vocal folds.
What is endoscopy?
The longest cranial nerve.
What is the vagus nerve?
These muscles attach the VFs anteriorly to the thyroid cartilage and posteriorly to the arytenoid cartilages.
What are the cricothyroid muscles?
The acoustic measure that is the best determinant of dysphonia.
What is Cepstral Peak Prominence (CPP)?
Measures used during a voice evaluation that don't use instrumentation.
What are aerodynamic measures?
This is how efficiency of respiration/phonation can be measured.
What is the purpose of the aerodynamic measures of MPT and s/z ratio?
The primary muscle that controls VF length.
What is the CT (cricothyroid)?
The greatest point of contact of the VFs during phonation.
What is the junction of the anterior 1/3 and posterior 2/3 of the VFs?
The voice quality that results from a cleft palate or insufficient velopharyngeal closure.
What is hypernasality?
I represent the rate of VF vibration during phonation. It is the physical basis for the perception of pitch.
What is fundamental frequency - f0
I am a graphical map of one's entire vocal capabilities.
What is a Voice Range Profile?
I am the space under the epithelium in the vocal folds.
What is Reinke's Space?
The external layer of a vocal fold is a thin, flexible layer of tissue.
What is the epithelium.
Name the 3 subsystems of voice
Respiration, phonation, and vocal tract resonance.
The intensity of the voice increases when the focus is forward in the oropharynx/nasopharynx.
What is forward focus?
Endoscopy that uses a synchronized flashing light source to see VF vibration patterns.
What is stroboscopy?
This structure begins at the level of the VFs and ends at the lips.
What is the vocal tract?
Although there are 5 layers of tissue in the vocal folds, they are aligned into one labeled grouping with 3 categories.
What is the lamina propria?
Name the 5 subsystems of speech.
What is respiration, phonation, resonance, articulation, and prosody.
Measures of voice characteristics that require instrumentation, such as Praat.
What are acoustic measures?
