SLP A&P Final Exam Phonatory
Increasing your vocal fundamental frequency will
increase the longitudinal stress on the vocal folds
Abduction refers to the ___________movement of the vocal folds, and adduction refers to the __________movement of the vocal folds.
opening, closing
The conversion of aerodynamic energy into acoustic energy is called
phonation
The mean Fo of men's voices, on average, is significantly lower than the mean Fo of women's voices because
the vocal folds of men usually have greater mass
allows the thyroid cartilage to rock forward and downward to achieve vocal fold elongation
The cricothyroid joint
vocal fold vibration occurs passively due to the interaction of the aerodynamics and the biomechanical properties of the vocal fold tissues
The myoelastic aerodynamic theory of voice production tells us that
The cartilage responsible for protecting the larynx during swallowing is the
epiglottis
Fundamental frequency is controlled by
the size of the vibrating mass
The Adam's Apple is the most prominent anterior point of the thyroid cartilage.
true
the air pressure will decrease as the air flows through the vocal tract in an area of constriction
The Bernoulli effect tells us that
The major regulator of intensity is
increased lung pressure
The space between the vocal folds is called the
glottis
Average fundamental frequency during reading aloud has been measured at
215 Hz for women and 115 Hz for men
The paired arytenoid cartilages articulate with the cricoid cartilage by means of the ____________joint.
cricoarytenoid
The abduction and adduction of the vocal folds is achieved by movement of the
cricoarytenoid joints
The cricothyroid joint results in cartilage movement upon contraction of the ________muscle.
cricothyroid muscle
