exam 5 pre-lecture quizzes

Question 1

Name the three cavities of the vocal tract.

Answer 1

Oral, nasal, pharyngeal cavities

These cavities play a crucial role in speech production and resonance.

Question 2

Name the 8 different articulators.

Answer 2

Lips, velum, tongue, jaw/mandible, pharynx (mobile), teeth, alveolar, hard palate (immobile)

Articulators are essential for producing different speech sounds.

Question 3

Name the four types of teeth.

Answer 3

Incisors, canines, premolars, molars

Each type of tooth serves specific functions in the process of chewing.

Question 4

What is the biological function of teeth?

Answer 4

To chew and break down food

This function is essential for digestion.

Question 5

What is the non-biological function of teeth?

Answer 5

Aesthetic appearance and social interaction

Teeth can influence self-esteem and social perceptions.

Question 6

Which facial muscle is responsible for frowning?

Answer 6

Depressor labii inferioris

This muscle helps express negative emotions.

Question 7

Which facial muscle is responsible for smiling?

Answer 7

Zygomaticus major

This muscle is crucial for expressing happiness.

Question 8

List at least 3 differences between the lateral and medial pterygoid muscles.

Answer 8

The medial pterygoid elevates the mandible, while the lateral pterygoid depresses the mandible. The lateral pterygoid also moves the mandible laterally. The medial pterygoid also has an origin of the maxilla in addition to the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone.

Question 9

What is the main function of the masseter muscle?

Answer 9

Elevate mandible and protrudes jaw

Question 10

Which muscle of the soft palate helps in complete VP closure?

Answer 10

Musculus uvulae

Question 11

Which muscle of the soft palate forms the posterior faucial pillars?

Answer 11

Palatopharyngeus

Question 12

True or False: The genioglossus muscle forms the anterior faucial pillars.

Answer 12

FALSE, palatoglossus

Question 13

True or False: Only the intrinsic lingual muscles are required for speech production.

Answer 13

FALSE, Both intrinsic and extrinsic lingual muscles are required for speech production.

Question 14

Explain why the tongue is classified as a muscular hydrostat.

Answer 14

The tongue is a muscular hydrostat because it maintains a constant volume as the muscles contract, has minimal bony support, and acts like a fluid-filled structure that is incompressible.

Question 15

Which extrinsic lingual muscle is innervated by a different cranial nerve than the rest?

Answer 15

Palatoglossus

Question 16

True or False: The function of the stylopharyngeus muscle is to narrow the pharynx.

Answer 16

FALSE,
The stylopharyngeus elevates and widens the pharynx.
The constrictor muscles and palatopharyngeus narrow the pharynx

Question 17

True or False: the superior constrictor muscle is at the level of the laryngopharynx.

Answer 17

FALSE
The superior constrictor muscle is at the level of the nasopharynx.
The inferior constrictor muscle is at the level of the laryngopharynx.

Question 18

Which muscle is classified as a muscle of the pharynx and a muscle of the soft palate?

Answer 18

Palatopharyngeus

Question 19

How does the pharynx act as an articulator?

Answer 19

The pharynx changes in diameter and length, leading to changes in resonant properties of the vocal tract.

Question 20

A ——- is a cohesive mass of food that has been chewed and is ready to be swallow.

Answer 20

bolus

Question 21

———- is food/liquid left in the oral cavity or pharynx after a swallow is completed.

Answer 28
