Physiology of Phonation

1. the subjective correlate to frequency
4. the guy that made the principle that helps describe how air causes our vocal folds to vibrate
5. the 2nd, 3rd and 4th layers of the vocal folds
7. a measurement of a wave's amplitude
8. the fancy medical term for swelling
9. general term for a growth on the vocal folds, can be cancerous or benign
10. difficulties producing normal vocal intensity, pitches and vibration
15. the unit we use to measure "loudness" or intensity
16. the common name for a Cardiovascular Accident, which can result in many speech or language issues
18. the rate at which something (such as VFs) vibrates
19. progressive loss and weakening of muscle mass and strength
21. the disruption of a normal process (in this case, vocal fold vibration)
22. the subjective correlate to intensity
23. the outermost layer of the vocal folds, able to regenerate itself
24. the process through which our cartilage hardens and becomes bony

1. a type of growth on the vocal folds due to vocal abuse, typically bilateral
2. the type of fibers you would expect to see more of in the DLLP
3. a contact ulcer caused by irritation to the vocal folds, often seen in GERD
6. a natural age related condition that weakens and thins the vocal folds, makes them less elastic
11. a type of growth on the vocal folds due to vocal abuse, typically bilateral
12. the muscle that forms the bulk of your vocal folds
13. the guy that (presumably)made a theory about how our vocal folds sustain oscillation
14. the type of fibers you would expect to see more of in the ILLP
17. the unit we use to measure frequency (cycles of vibration per second)
20. the underlying cause or factors of a disease or condition
