Study Notes
Structures of Speech Production
- The vocal tract includes the nasal cavity, palate, oral cavity, lips, jaw, tongue, pharynx, epiglottis, larynx, and esophagus.
- The tongue shapes the sounds of speech.
- The larynx, epiglottis, and pharynx are parts of the throat.
- The vocal tract and the airflow from the lungs produce speech.
- The larynx is the voice box.
- The epiglottis covers the airway to the lungs during swallowing.
- The pharynx is a part of the throat that helps with swallowing and speech.
- The esophagus is a tube that connects the pharynx to the stomach.
Degrees of Oral Cavity Opening
