Laryngeal System
• Also known as the voice box• Composed mainly of muscle and cartilages• Attaches below to the trachea• Attaches above to the hyoid bone• Vocal folds or cords are in the larynx
![Page 8: Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5681614b550346895dd0cb1c/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)

Vocal Cords
• In front attached to the thyroid cartilage• In back attached to the arytenoid cartilage• Each cord attached to its own arytenoid cartilage• Each arytenoid cartilage attached to cricoid cartilage• Glottis – space between cords• Subglottal pressure – air from below the larynx
![Page 10: Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5681614b550346895dd0cb1c/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Phonation
• Subglottal air pressure pulls vocal cords apart
• Elasticity of vocal cords brings them back together
• Fold vibration is created• Air flow through glottis causes air pressure
drop and folds are sucked back together again – Bernoulli effect

Phonation
• Abduction – cords are apart• Adduction - adduction

The Larynx
• Composed by• Laryngopharynx – where larynx and
pharynx meet• Oropharynx – next to the posterior portion
of the oral cavity• Nasopharynx – next to the nasal cavity
![Page 14: Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5681614b550346895dd0cb1c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Nasal Cavity
• Begins with the nostrils or nares• Continues to the nasopharynx
![Page 16: Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5681614b550346895dd0cb1c/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Oral Cavity
• Also known as mouth• Begins with lips and continues to the
oropharynx• Contains the major articulators, responsible
for the production of speech sounds
![Page 17: Anatomy and Physiology of the Speech Mechanism](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081505/5681614b550346895dd0cb1c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Articulation
• The term articulation means to “join together”• Airstream from the lungs (and accompanying
acoustic vibrations) are directed to oral and nasal cavity which are modified by speech organs to produce sounds.
• The modification may include collision of bursts of air in vocal tract or constriction of speech organs.
