34
Describe Thyroid Cartilage
- Largest of 9 cartilages in the Larynx
- Shield for trachea
- Angle of thyroid cartilage changes relative to cricoid cartilage to change pitch.
35
Describe the Arytenoids
- Adjusts tension
- Changes pitch and sound quality
- Moves through abduction
36
Describe Cricoid Cartilage
- Forms ring around airway
- Helps produce sound
- Connects ligaments involved in opening and closing airways
37
Describe Epiglottis
- Acts as articulator for consonants like H and vowels like ah or aw
- Used for swallowing
38
Vocal folds description
- Adjusts to produce pitches and volumes
- Short and thick equals lower sound
- Long and thin equals higher sound
