CSD 444 final exam Questions
and Answers 100% PASS
False VF - CORRECT ANSWER-ventricular folds; located above true VF and
may vibrate during disordered phonation
where do VF attach - CORRECT ANSWER-anteriorly to the thyroid cartilage,
posteriorly to the vocal processes of the arytenoid cartilages
how can you tell anterior vs posterior - CORRECT ANSWER-together anteriorly;
apart posteroirly
how do you make your voice higher (which muscle) - CORRECT ANSWER-
cricothyroid to stretch and thin VF
how do you open VF for breathing (which muscle) - CORRECT ANSWER-
posterior cricothyroid
how many layers are VF - CORRECT ANSWER-five layers
what comprises body of VF - CORRECT ANSWER-thyroarytenoid/vocalis
muscle
what layer vibrates the most during phonation - CORRECT ANSWER-superficial
layer of lamina propia
,glottis - CORRECT ANSWER-air space between open VF through which air
flows to and from lungs
goal in voice assessment - CORRECT ANSWER-establish a relationship between
how the voice sounds and what the speech mechanism is doing to create that
sound
fundamental frequency - CORRECT ANSWER-pitch
intensity - CORRECT ANSWER-loudness (acoustic power)
regularity of acoustic voice source - CORRECT ANSWER-quality
perceptual qualities of voice - CORRECT ANSWER-pitch, loudness, quality
pitch - CORRECT ANSWER-sensation resulting from perception of fundamental
frequency--number of VF vibrations per second
things that may affect pitch - CORRECT ANSWER-higher pitch when nervous or
anxious, because VF has more tension
loudness - CORRECT ANSWER-measured as sound pressure level; associated
with degree of adduction of vocal folds in combination with sublottal pressure
vocal quality - CORRECT ANSWER-having characteristics such as breathiness,
hoarseness, tremor; associated with vibratory instability and adduction

,what can cause vibratory instability - CORRECT ANSWER-breath support
(irregular breathing patterns, can't take deep breath in, disease/disorder of lungs)
issues at level of larynx (bump/growth/mass/lesion in laryngeal system)
long term vs short term in vibratory instability - CORRECT ANSWER-long term
is vocal tremor
short term is hoarseness
voice disorders occur when - CORRECT ANSWER-individual's vocal quality is in
some way impaired
range of severity of voice disorders - CORRECT ANSWER-can be mild/transient
and require no treatment
or can be severe and persistent and require ongoing treatment
or can be so severe larynx must be removed
MALE voice changes with age - CORRECT ANSWER-larynx grows in teenage
years; lowering in pitch
18--voice is adultlike
60--age related deterioration begins; voice goes up in pitch bc atrophy
FEMALE voice changes with age - CORRECT ANSWER-some go down with
advanced age bc thickening of VF due to hormonal changes
some go up regarding VF atrophy
, MALE AND FEMALE voice changes with age - CORRECT ANSWER-hoarse
and tremulous
muscle atrophy
age related deterioration in neurological control of larynx
good physical condition: fewer age related changes
are voice disorders personal - CORRECT ANSWER-yes--what is small and
irrelevant for one person may be a big deal for someone else
how many school age children have a voice disorder and why - CORRECT
ANSWER-8-24%; they yell, scream, vocal play, cry
how many adults have a voice disorder - CORRECT ANSWER-5-7%
how many Americans have a voice disorder - CORRECT ANSWER-3-10%
dysphonia - CORRECT ANSWER-any disturbance in normal vocal function; the
range is broad (professional voice user having subtle breakdown; vocal nodule,
surgical removal of larynx)
the degree of communication impairment resulting from a voice disorder relates to
both: - CORRECT ANSWER-severity and impact on voice user
severity of the disorder - CORRECT ANSWER-size, extent, impact on voice
