Term
Bernoulli effect
Definition
As the velocity of a fluid/gas increases its pressure decreases. This is demonstrated when a constant flow of fluid or gas is passed through a tube (e.g. larynx) and a section of the tube is constricted (e.g. adduction of vocal folds). At the point of constriction the flow will speed up and there will be a drop in pressure against the walls of the tube. When the vocal folds are adducted during phonation, the airstream is momentarily stopped by the vocal folds. At this point subglottic pressure begins to build up below the vocal folds. When the pressure is high enough, the soft tissues of the vocal folds are forced to separate and the airstream is allowed to flow through the vocal folds. Like the paper duct above, the airstream through the vocal folds then accelerates causing a drop in pressure. This drop in pressure then sucks the vocal folds back together. Subglottic pressure then builds up again and the process continues.
Term
Boyle's Law (respiration)
Definition
Boyle's Law is a physical law stating that given constant temperature, air pressure equals the force over an area. Colloquially, we often say that nature abhors a vacuum, and Boyle's Law as it relates to respiration helps illustrate this. When the thoracic space increases and the lungs expand, in accordance with Boyle's Law, the air pressure inside the expanded alveoli decreases. Because air will seek to equalize pressure, it will travel from an area of higher pressure to one of lower pressure. Therefore, when the alveolar pressure decreases, air enters the lungs.The reverse is true--when thoracic space decreases, pressure in the alveoli increases, forcing the air out of the lungs in an attempt to equalize pressure.

Role of cricothyroid muscle in pitch
Definition
The cricoid and thyroid cartilages articulate at the cricothyroid joint at the posterior of the cartilages. There is a space between them anteriorly that is filled with a membrane, but the two cartilages can rock together, with the thyroid being the most mobile of the two. The cricothyroid muscle rocks the thyroid cartilage and cricoid cartilage together in the front, and this pulls the thyroarytenoid muscles, connected from the thyroid notch to the arytenoid cartilages, downward. This action lengthens and stretches the vocal cords, and the resulting tension raises vocal pitch just as tightening a guitar or violin string raises the string's pitch.
Term
Role of traveling wave in separating complex sounds
Definition
This means that stimulation by a pure tone results in a complex movement of the membrane. If it were uniform, then the fluctuating pressure difference between the scala vestibuli and the scala tympani caused by the sound would move the entire membrane up and down with similar excursions at all points. However, because of the variation in width and stiffness along its length, various parts of the membrane do not oscillate in phase. Over a complete cycle of sound each segment of the membrane undergoes a single cycle of vibration but at any point in time some parts of the membrane are moving upwards and some parts are moving downwards. The overall pattern of movement of the membrane is described as a traveling wave.

A travelling wave then, is a unique moving waveform whose point of maximal displacement traces out a specific set of locations. The shape described by the set of these locations along the basilar membrane is called the envelope of the travelling wave (Figure 10). The point along the basilar membrane where the wave, and hence the envelope traced by the travelling wave, reaches a peak differs for each frequency. In other words, each point along the basilar membrane that is set in motion vibrates at the same frequency as the sound impinging on the ear, but different frequency sounds cause a peak in the wave at different positions on the basilar membrane.
Term
Source-filter theory of vowel production
Definition
In the source-filter theory of vowel production, a sound source is created at the vocal folds and routed through the vocal tract where it is "filtered" by the articulators into a recognizable vowel sound. The principle of resonant frequency is applied, in which a resonant system responds most vigorously to a certain sound frequency. By altering the size and shape of the oral cavity, the resonant frequency is altered and our desired vowels are produced. The text compares this to blowing air over the mouth of a bottle that is partially filled with water. Altering the amount of water in the bottle changes the size of the resonant system and creates a different sound.
Term
Three mechanisms of middle ear that increase pressure of signal arriving at the cochlea
Definition
1) Lever effect: the ossicles are directly attached to the tympanic membrane via the manubrium of the malleus. The malleus is the largest bone in the ossicular chain, and the sizes of the bone descend to the smallest bone, the stapes. This concentrates and amplifies the sound wave. The ossicles are slightly longer than necessary to fill the gap between the tympanic membrane and the oval window, so a lever effect occurs that amplifies the sound waves.

2) Buckling action of tympanic membrane decreases the velocity two-fold and increases the force two-fold, changing the impedance ratio four-fold.

3) Size differential between the tympanic membrane and oval window

autonomic vs. sympathetic nervous system
Definition
Both the autonomic and sympathetic nervous systems are part of the peripheral nervous system. The autonomic nervous system innervates smooth muscle and controls involuntary processes such as digestion (as opposed to the somatic system, which innervates striated muscle and controls voluntary processes.) The sympathetic nervous system is actually part of the autonomic nervous system and is the body's "fight-or-flight" system. It responds to perceived danger by releasing excitatory neurotransmitters that prepare the body to react to danger by either fighting or fleeing--speeding up heart rate, contracting pupils, and other involuntary responses. Its counterpart is the parasympathetic nervous system, which helps the body return to a normal resting state once danger is past. None of these systems are in our conscious control.

how respiratory, phonatory, and articulatory systems interact to produce speech
Definition
The primary function of the respiratory system is to allow air exchange, thus preserving life. Likewise, the phonatory and articulatory systems have other functions as well. The mouth is used to chew and swallow food, and the larynx is a valve that prevents food from entering the lungs. However, we have evolved to use these systems for the overlaid speech function. We inhale, and then exhale a column of air in a carefully controlled manner. The air passes through the larynx and vocal cords where it is phonated to produce sound vibrations. As the air passes through the oral and nasal cavities, we use our lips, teeth, and tongue to alter our intraoral pressure and change the sound to produce recognizable speech at various volumes and rates.

Definition

Term
process of active inspiration
Definition
We are generally engaged in passive or quiet respiration. During passive respiration, the diaphragm contracts, expanding the thorax along the vertical dimension. The pleural linings of the thorax expand along with it, which in turn expands the lungs and the alveoli they contain. Air pressure decreases in the alveoli, allowing air to enter through the trachea. During active respiration, all of the above occurs, but the thoracic muscles are engaged as well, especially the external intercostals that lie on the outside of the ribcage. They and other muscles work to elevate and expand the ribs along the transverse dimension, much like opening venetian blinds. This increases thoracic space and lung expansion, allowing the inspiration of even more air than during passive respiration.
Term
propagation of impulse from one neuron to the next
Definition
When the dendrites of a particular neuron receive an impulse and relay it to the cell body, the nerve "fires" (action potential) and depolarization occurs. Positively charged sodium ions enter the cell membrane and the cell's internal charge changes from negative to positive. Repolarization occurs in a chain-like reaction that causes the positively charged signal to travel along the axon to the axon's terminal button. There it contacts another neuron, a gland, or a muscle at a point of contact (actually near-contact) called a synapse. The space into which the axon releases neurotransmitter is called the synaptic cleft. The next neuron, gland, or muscle in the chain receives the neurotransmitter, which sends either an excitatory or inhibitory signal and continues the process. The first neuron then returns to resting potential. This whole process takes milliseconds, and if the axon is myelinated the impulse travels even more quickly.

The velum or soft palate raises and lowers to close off or open the nasopharynx. When it is lowered (open) and air can travel through the nasal cavity during speech, this adds nasal resonance to the speech sound. The velum is closed for most English speech, because English has very few nasal sounds, and in the lowered position for a few sounds such as /m/, /n/, and /ng/. Someone who has a hypernasal quality to the voice may have a velum that only partially closes. The actress Fran Drescher is a good example of hypernasality.
