Module 8

Question 1

-Focus of vibration of our vocal folds
-Through a contraction , the velocity of the flow increases , causing a decrease in pressure

Answer 1

Bernoulli Effect

Question 2

The Translaryngeal Pressure allows airflow going through the _____

Answer 2

Larynx

Question 2

The Laryngeal Opposing Pressure brings the v.f ______

Answer 2

together

Question 3

List the Vocal Fold Vibration

Answer 3

First the V.F , Start closed because of Laryngeal Opposing Pressure

1. Column of air pressure moves upwards towards V.F. in closed position

2/3. Column of air pressure opens at the bottom vibrating layers of V.F. Body of the V.F. stay in place

4/5. Column of air (Translaryngeal Pressure) continuous to move upwards, now towards the top of V.F. and opens the top

6-9. The low pressure created behind the fast-moving air column produces a “ bernoulli effect “ which cause the bottom to close , followed by the top

10. CLosure of the V.F. cuts off the air column and release a pulse of air

Question 4

Attack
—the process of bringing vocal folds _________ to begin phonation (adduction)

Answer 4

together

Question 5

simultaneous vocal attack
-________ adduction and onset of respiration

Answer 5

coordinate

Question 6

breathy vocal attack
—starting significant airflow ______ adducting the vocal folds

Answer 6

before

Question 7

glottal attack
-adduction of the vocal folds occurs ________ to the airflow

Answer 7

prior

Question 8

What is abducting the vocal folds out of the airstream ( bring them apart )

Answer 8

Termination

Question 9

What is maintaining the V.F. in place ?

Answer 9

Sustained Phonation

Question 10

vertical mode of phonation—the vocal folds open and close from ________ to ________

Answer 10

infeior to supeior

Question 11

horizontal mode of phonation—vocal folds also tend to open ____________ to ____________

Answer 11

posterior to anterior

Question 12

The minimum driving pressure of the vocal folds in modal phonation is about ______________ cm H20 subglottal pressure.

Answer 12

3-5

Question 13

Optimal Pitch- the pitch of vocal fold vibration that is ______ for an individual

Answer 13

Optimal

Question 14

Habitual Pitch- the frequency of vibration of vocal folds that is ______________ used during speech (normal)

Answer 14

habitually

Question 15

Average Fundamental Frequency—the average frequency of vibration of the vocal folds during some ______

Answer 15

Sustained Phonation

Question 16

What can change the mass per unit length by spreading the muscle, mucosa, and ligaments out over more distance?

Answer 16

Mass

Question 17

What can stretch them tighter or relax them
?

Answer 17

Tension

Question 18

length—elongation is what really affects the _________ and _________

Answer 18

tension and mass

Question 19

To Increase pitch

Answer 19

Increase length
Decreases mass
Increases tension

Question 20

To Decrease pitch

Answer 20

Decrease length
Increase mass
Decrease tension

Question 21

What Contraction causes the thyroid cartilage to tilt down vocal folds lengthen ?

Answer 21

Cricothyroid muscle

Question 22

What Contraction causes the thyroid and cricoid to come closer together the mass of the vocal cords is distributed over a great distance less mass per unit length
Which lengths the V.F. which increases the pitch

Answer 22

Thyroarytenoid (vocalis) muscle

Question 23

What Vocal register is extremely low in pitch and sounds rough
The vocal folds vibrate slower than normal, but also differently?

Answer 23

Pulse

Question 24

What Vocal register is the pattern of phonation used in daily conversation ?

Answer 24

Modal

Question 25

What Vocal register is (Falsetto) vocal folds lengthen and become extremely thin and reed-like makes the F0 very high

Answer 25

Loft
