Basic Function of the phonatory system
|
a valve to keep us from choking
|
|
larynx
|
1 bone, 9 cartilages and 15 paired muscles
|
|
hyoid bone
|
not attached directly to any other bone "free floating"
-corpus, lesser cornu and greater cornu |
|
Thyroid Cartilage
|
paired, largest cartilage, all other cartilages attach or lie within it
|
|

|
the two laminas of the thyroid cartilage come together at an angle
-80 degrees for males and 90-100 degrees for females |
|

ring shaped, articular facet attaches to the inferior cornu, immediately superior to the uppermost tracheal ring
|
|
Articular Facet
|
hallowed out part and attaches to the inferior cornu of thyroid-allows rocking action
|
|

|
leaf shaped, helps to prevent food from entering the larynx during swallowing, may be seen in children until the larynx drops
|
|
Arytenoids
|
paired, located on the sloping borders of the cricoid. may appear triangular but are really pyrmidal. the muscular and vocal processes allow 2 to 3 movements. 1. rocking or tilting, 2. glide and 3. rotation but this is very controversial
|
|
Aryepiglottic folds
|
folds of mucous membrane from edges of epiglottis to the apex of each arytenoid
|
|
Corniculates

paired, very small rods, may not be present in everyone, are found within the aryepiglottic folds
|
|

|
2 groups extrinsic and intrinsic
|
|
Extrinsic Muscles

|
Infrahyoids
|
support hyoid from below, pull downward on hyoid decreasing vocal tension and vocal pitch
|
|
Sternohyoid
|
O-manubrium of sternum
I-corpus of hyoid A-pull down on hyoid, lowering the larynx |
|
Omohyoid
|
2 bellies; inferior and posterior
O-upper border of scapula I-corpus of hyoid A-pull down on hyoid, lowering the larynx |
|
Sternothyroid
|
O-manubrium of sternum
I-thyroid lamina A-pull down on hyoid, lowering the larynx |
|
Thyrohyoid
|
O-thyroid lamina
I-greater cornu of hyoid A-pull down on hyoid, lowering the larynx |
|
Intrinsic Laryngeal Muscles
|
arise and insert within the larynx
|
|
Glottis or Rima Glottidis
|
opening between the folds when folds are abducted
|
|
True Vocal Folds are composed of 5 layers of tissue
|
1. epithelium
2. superficial layer 3. intermediate layer 4. deep layer 5. vocalis muscle |
|
superficial layer + intermediate layer + deep layer=
|
lamina propria
|
|
intermediate layer + deep layer=
|
vocal ligament
|
|
vocal processes
|
located on back of the arytenoids
|
|
vocalis
|
glottal tenser
|
|
it is extrinsic if?
|
it attaches outside the larynx
|
|
Thyroarytenoid muscle
|
...
|
|
Thyrovocalis
|
agonist
O-deep surface of thyroid angle I-vocal processes and lateral surface of the arytenoid A-tenses vocal ligament raising vocal pitch |
|
Thyromuscularis
|
antagonist
O-inner surface of thyroid angle I-antero-lateral surface of arytenoids A-relaxes glottal tension |
|
Cricothyroid
|
maintains tension on folds, allows thyroid to rock on cricoid
|
|
Pars Oblique
|
O-outer portion of cricoid arch
I-inferior cornu of thyroid |
|
Pars Recta
|
O-anterior of cricoid beneath the arch
I-lower margin of thyroid lamina |
|
Posterior Cricoarytenoid
|
THE ABDUCTOR MUSCLE (separates the folds)
O-posterior surface of cricoid I-muscular process of arytenoids A-rotates arytenoids pulling them outward laterally |
|
Adductor Muscles
|
...
|
|
Oblique Arytenoid
|
forms "X" shape across posterior surface of arytenoids
O-muscular process of one arytenoid I-apex of opposite arytenoid a-rotates and pulls together arytenoids |
|
Transverse Arytenoid
|
under the "X"
O-entire posterior surface and lateral edge of one arytenoid I-lateral edge and posterior surface of other arytenoid A-pulls arytenoids together |
|

|

|
|
Lateral Cricoartyenoid
|
O-along superior-lateral edge of cricoid cartilage
I-at arytenoid on same side A-rotates arytenoids closing glottis |
|
Phonation occurs when
|
the larynx generates a rapid series of short pulses of air which produce a complex tone
|
|
During normal quiet breathing the vocal folds are
|
spaced far apart and the airstream is allowed to flow in and out
|
|
When the neural command is given for the folds to close
|
adduction is extremely rapid (2nd fastest reflex next to blinking)
|
|
when the folds are together the air flow is obstructed
|
thus building up sub-glottic pressure
|
|
Vocal folds of men and women
|
womens-shorter, faster vibration
men-longer, slower vibration |
|
sub-glottic pressure develops enough pressure
|
blows the folds apart
|
|
Negative pressure builds up which
|
draws the folds back together again
|
|
vibratory cycle
|
115-140 per second for males and 210-240 for women
500+ for babies |
|
Process of cycle
|
1. inhale
2. vocal folds adduct 3. sub-glottic pressure builds up to a threshold 4. folds get blown apart due to the threshold of pressure 5. release a burst of air 6. folds are adducted again |
