Terms
Communication
an exchange of ideas between an encoder and a decoder
Speech Sciences
study of speech production; includes anatomy, physiology, acoustics and perception
Anatomy
STRUCTURE of an organism
Physiology
FUNCTION of an organism
Speech Systems
anatomical systems of the body that are involved in speech production
Nervous System
brain & spinal cord; makes up central nervous system
Respiratory System
involved in speech & breathing, provides power to produce speech by inflating lungs
Phonatory System
how we produce sounds; voice; larynx, vocal folds, hyoid bone & cartilages
Larynx
protective component for our respiratory system
Aspiration
anytime anything goes into the lungs can cause this
Vocal Folds
vibrate due to power generated by respiratory system; vibrates many different ways to determine pitch, loudness and quality
Articulatory & Resonatory System
filters speech sounds; made of pharynx, nasal cavity, soft palate, oral cavity, and lips
Anatomical Planes
coronal (frontal) plane, saggital plane, transverse plane
Coronal (Frontal) Plane
down the center; splits front and back, splits arms in half, would cut butt of from the rest
Saggital Plane
view from side; splits between boobs, legs, shoulder blades
Transverse Plane
view from top; splits in half, top half head/chest/belly, bottom half legs & butt
Lateral
outside; eye is more lateral than nose
Anterior
view from front; looking at belly button
Posterior
view from back; looking at back & butt
Inferior
down; feet
Superior
up; head
Proximal
near
Distal
far
Medial
middle
