Myoelastic Aerodynamics Theory of Voice Production

Starting at rest, the ....

Starting at rest, the vocal folds are open because you are breathing

A ....... of air....

a puff of air is released

Air is coming up and speeding up and the....

air is coming up and speeding up and the vocal folds get sucked shut because of the bernoulli principle

__________ ____________ takes over and causes _______, closing the _________

bernoulli principle takes over and causes adduction, closing the vocal folds again

________ brings the vocal folds....

elasticity brings the vocal folds back towards the midline

Process is repeated in a....

process is repeated in a periodic manner as air is exhaled

____ ______ is increasing and pressure builds to the point where it overcomes...

suglottal pressure is increasing and pressure builds up to a point where it overcomes the closing pressure and blows the vocal folds open

The _______ ________says that when air goes through constriction...

the bernoulli principle says that when air goes through constriction, it speeds up and puts less pressure on the sides of the constriction. The constriction is the vocal folds

The _______ _______ start to....

the vocal folds start to come close to each other

You want to talk so the _______ (....), bring the _____ ______ towards the midline

you want to talk so the adductors bring the vocal folds towards the midline
