Across
- 4. growths that form on the vocal folds
- 8. the enlargement or dilation of capillaries on the surface of the vocal cords.
- 10. how long the VF close and stay closed in a cycle, held tightly and builds up of subglottic pressure and blow apart
- 11. makes it hard to breathe or talk
- 17. factors patient has more control over
- 18. swelling
- 20. muscles attach to the vocal process of the arytenoid cartilage
- 22. ratio .9-1
- 23. wart-like growth caused by HPV. Present with hoarseness and voice changes, but when large can cause shortness of breath
- 24. disorder caused by insufficient or improper use of vocal mechanisms without any anatomic and neurological abnormalities
- 25. (or connection of the tissue) forms due to two mucosal linings being close together
- 27. loundness
- 28. ratio(HNR) measure of voice signal relative to the noise within the signal
- 29. sound is muffled, and consonants are indistinct due to blockage at the exit of the nasal, oral, or pharyngeal cavity
- 30. associated with an aging larynx
- 31. raw sores on the mucous membrane of the arytenoid vocal processes
- 32. a groove or furrow that can stretch the entire length of the vocal fold
Down
- 1. the involuntary tendency of speakers (or singers) to increase their vocal effort when speaking in loud environments
- 2. disorder result from problems with the central or peripheral nervous system innervation to the larynx
- 3. Damage to pharyngeal branch causes hypernasality and possible nasal regurgitation
- 5. vocal register are the vocal folds tightly adducted at the vocal processes of the arytenoids
- 6. time maximum amount of time a person can sustain phonation of "ah" is timed
- 7. red, have feeding blood vessels, and are usually asymmetric
- 9. measures vocal fold vibration in cycles per second or Hz
- 12. factors patient has less control over
- 13. surgery involves removing the front of the larynx and shorten vocal folds
- 14. variations in the lengths of adjacent pitch periods of voiced speech
- 15. an abnormal dilation and lengthening of a vein [tortuosity] on the surface of the VF
- 16. tend to grow over contact ulcers until cause of irritation is addressed
- 19. the voice box
- 21. growths that have a sac around a fluid-filled or semisolid center
- 26. disorder a result of physical changes in the voice mechanism such as edema, vocal nodules, due to alteration in vocal fold tissues and age-related structural changes in the larynx
