Term
Step 1
Definition
Vocal folds are adducted and subglottal pressure begins to increase from respiratory flow
Term
Step 2
Definition
Subglottal pressure beings to separate the inferior surface of the vocal folds as pressure continues to build
Term
Step 3
Definition
The superior aspect of the vocal folds begin to open; the mass of high pressure air begins to develop modulations as it is affected by the waves in the mucosa
Term
Step 4
Definition
The vocal folds are blown open, the air flow between the folds increases and the pressure at the folds decreases; transglottal flow
Term
Step 5
Definition
Decrease pressure and elasticity bring the vocal folds back to midline; bernoulli effect
Term
Step 6
Definition
The vocal folds make contact inferiorly
Term
Step 7
Definition
After the air wave passes the vocal folds close completely and the cycle is complete
