Larynx

have a deep note of voice sinking into the throat. When I want to throw out my voice to sing, I have my voice stuck in the larger soundboard of the adam’s apple. My voice is a low voice and it sounds a little coarse. When the vocal cords in the larynx vibrate, the vibration turns into a bass range, among the lowest range of voice of a male vocal tract. I have a strong desire sing, sometimes once in a blue moon. I wanted to sing seriously with all my heart out. Singing to me is a mental…

the lungs, larynx, and pharynx, oral and nasal cavities (Honda 2003). These organs make up the vocal tract. According to Mahendru (2014), he stated that acoustic air waves are formed from the lungs that provide the air force to bring about sound. The sound starts its journey from the lungs that goes through a number of channels and makes its exit through the mouth and nasal cavities. According to Huffman (2016) the first modification takes place when air is made to flow in the larynx, here the…

Our journey begins with a molecule of rich oxygen. As we enter the nose, the oxygen makes its way through the nose hairs and into the nasal cavity. The nasal cavity is lined with mucous so there are no unwanted bacteria traveling with us. After floating a rough trip through the hairs and mucous, we make our way to the sinuses. These sinuses are air pockets in the skull; we’ll only be here for a little while. The sinuses are lined with mucus and cilia to again stop any bacteria or unwanted air…

the air .Pharynx also known as throat is an other way which air can also enter into the lungs through the mouth. Air also enters into the larynx also known as voice box. It have two main functions as it is a passageway for air to enter into the lungs and a source of vocalization. The epiglottis is a tissue a flap-like cartilage structure contained in the larynx that protects the trachea ( windpipe) against food aspiration.The trachea have c-shaped ring cartilage which is divides into both…

confirmation of an elongated soft palate and everted laryngeal saccules yield a diagnosis. The elongated soft palate has been seen to range from extending past the tip of the epiglottis to extending into opening of the larynx. Generally the tip of the soft palate and the edges of the larynx show signs of inflammation (ACVS). Radiographs of the chest to check for secondary changes to the lungs and to diagnose the hypoplastic trachea can also be a diagnostic tool (Koch). Stenotic nares are often…

Banning Cigarettes My mother smoked cigarettes for over 30 years. I always told her she should quit before she gets lung cancer or worse, but she continued to smoke anyway. Four years ago, my mother finally quit smoking after she suffered a severe heart attack. The doctors had to perform emergency open heart surgery, which was risky since my mom was 69 at the time. My mother’s surgery was successful and she fully recovered a year later. My mother is considered lucky to win her battle with…

Gastrointestinal System The digestive system is a group of organs working together to convert food into energy, and basic nutrients to feed the entire body. Food passes through a long tube in the body called the gastrointestinal tract (GI), also known as the alimentary canal. The gastrointestinal tract comprises of the oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, stomach, small intestines, and large intestines. For the body to be able to receive energy and nutrients from food, six major functions take…

difficult to visualize the larynx even under direct laryngoscopy. A decreased level of consciousness due to sedation, head injury, metabolic disturbances and other nervous system dysfunctions are some common causes of upper airway obstruction via the tongue. Another relevant part of the pediatric airway is the epiglottis and the larynx. The epiglottis is large and floppy and the larynx is funnel shaped with the narrowest part of the airway at the cricoid cartilage. The larynx in a…

frequently reaching into the pharynx, the larynx or the trachea, especially in children. This cause symptoms in two ways: by obstructing the air passage that causes difficulty in breathing; they may be drawn further down later on, entering the bronchi causing symptoms of irritation, such as a cough, bloody or mucous expectoration. If the foreign body has lodged into the pharynx, this may be lodged by inserting the finger; if the obstruction is in the larynx or the trachea, a tracheotomy is…

smoke into the lungs which has many harsh chemicals has adverse effects on one’s health. With that in mind, tobacco can hinder respiration. Respiration is the process of breathing. As a result of tobacco effecting respiration, it can irritate your larynx and trachea which can change the way you speak, reduce lung function, breathlessness, and risk of lung infection due to the build-up of poisonous chemicals. Another risk of smoking tobacco is infections such as pneumonia or influenza. Pneumonia…
