Phonation

1. Adam’s Apple- The bump on the front of the thyroid cartilage. Sentence: While playing baseball the other day, Tyler was hit in his Adam’s Apple by a fly ball that he lost in the sun. 2. Arytenoids- One of the two pyramid-shaped cartilages of the larynx. Sentence: The Arytenoids play a major part in forming a person’s larynx, which allows a person to breathe, talk, and protect their trachea. 3. Cricoid- The signet-ring shaped cartilage of the larynx. Sentence: If a person’s cricoid is ever damaged

`The frontal sinus is located above the eye. They are air spaces lined with mucous membrane. The ethmoid is a pair of paranasal sinuses. They help filter the air that goes into the nasal cavity. These are located in the ethmoid bone, which has ethmoidal air cells. There is three groups of ethmoidal air cells. They are the posterior, middle, and anterior. They are made up of a lot of cavities that have thin walls that are in the ethmoidal labyrinth and are finished by the maxilla, frontal, lacrimal

My voice as it is now/My voice as I would like it to be I notice many things about my voice. Whether I talk with a vocal fry around my friends, which seems to be a California specialty, or in a higher register with teachers, the placement of my voice constantly varies. I am aware that my timbre is high and that my tone is bright, and, to state it plainly, I enjoy that. However, there are aspects of my voice that I notice and dislike; my voice breaks between my lower and middle register noticeably

Regardless of gender, humans tend to start their lives with similar capacities and productions. All genders are born with a larynx, our primary organ for vibration, which biologically functions to keep air flowing through the respiratory system and keep foreign objects out. Additionally, children’s vocal folds have an average fundamental frequency, or vocal fold vibration, of 250 Hz per second. However, the larynx also has the nonbiological function of acting as a vibratory source for speech. This

Larynx-The larynx also known as the voice box is a part of the respiratory system that’s in charge of holding the vocal cords in their place. This part of the body is important and responsible for the production of speech and for the body to inhale and exhale. This part is mainly composed of muscles and cartilages put together by tissues. It is located between the pharynx and the trachea forming part of the windpipe that allows the body to receive oxygen. It also prevents the body from choking, and

1. List 3 reasons that voice deviations tend to be of less concern within the general population than other communication problems such as stuttering and articulation disorders? (1.5 points) There are many reason why voice deviations tend to be of less concern within the general population than other communication problem. The first reason is because everyone has different characteristics of what a normal voice is. The second reason is because when individuals has a unique voice, it difficult to

Ingham, R. J., Ingham, J. C., Bothe, A. K., Wang, Y., & Kilgo, M. (2015, May 01). Efficacy of the Modifying Phonation Intervals (MPI) Stuttering Treatment Program With Adults Who Stutter. American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 24(2), 256-271. A phonated interval (PI) is the duration of a signal in a voiced unit in speech production. The use of prolonged speech, or increased PIs, in the treatment of stuttering has been determined to be effective. In the long-term, however, the client who

Breaking Through In the novel "Their Eyes Were Watching God" written by Zora Neale Hurston, Janie the protagonist is seen by critics as having no voice. For all women silence knows no boundaries of race or culture, and Janie is no exception. Hurston characterizes Janie with the same silence that women at that time & period were forced into, (complete submission.) "Women were to be seen and not heard." Janie spends forty years of her life, learning to achieve/find, her voice against the over-ruling

Compare jitter, shimmer and harmonics to noise ratio in terms of the types of information each provides? Jitter and shimmer are measures of the cycle-to-cycle variations of fundamental frequency and amplitude, respectively, which have been largely used for the description of pathological voice quality. Jitter is also known as frequency perturbation and refers to the minute involuntary variations in the timing variability between cycles of vibration. In essence, it is a measure of frequency variability
