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
