Study Notes
Vocal Fold Movement
- Vocal folds move between abducted and adducted positions for breathing and phonation respectively
- Abducted position facilitates breathing
- Adducted position facilitates phonation
Vocal Fold Mucosa
- Vocal fold mucosa is the main vibrating component during phonation
- Vocal fold mucosa consists of epithelium and superficial layer of the lamina propria (Reinke’s potential space)
Supporting Research
- A canine study placed metal pellets at varying depths within the vocal fold
- Study used radiographic stroboscopy to monitor coronal plane trajectories
- Results showed that mucosal pellet trajectories were wider than those of the ligament or the muscle during vibration
- Findings suggest that vocal fold mucosa is the primary component responsible for sound production
