Chapter 3 Exercises Exercise 1 (different from the book) • Please provide the name for each of the numbered parts of the vocal tract: Number Name 1. Nasal Cavity 2. Alveolar Ridge 3. Hard Plate 4. Soft Plate 5. Teeth 6. Uvula 7. Lips 8. Pharynx 9. Tip 10. Epliglottis 11. Blade 12.* Glottis 13. Back 14.* Vocal Folds 15. Root 16. Trachea 17. Adam’s Apple * this diagram distinguishes between 12 & 14 but our textbook clumps these two areas together into one name. Give us your best guess here for what these two separate areas might be called Exercise 2 (p. 28) Please insert your responses to these items here. a.) Nasal Consonants, air flow and sound transports through the nasal cavity. Oral Consonants, air flow and sound travels through the oral cavity. b.) Articulators can be described as the body parts that are involved in the vocal tract can be used to produce speech sounds. c.) The respiratory system is important to the vocal production because it forces air through the vocal tract which generates sound. d.) The jaw is essential to lip and tongue movement. Whenever the jaw moves, the lips and tongue will move as well. e.) During vocal fold vibration, the vocal folds are closed which increases built up air pressure. Then, the vocal folds are forced open by the built up air pressure. When the vocal folds are open to the maximum, the folds then begin to close. After the vocal folds are closed, the cycle of vocal fold vibration begins again. Exercise 3.
