ABductor (spasmodic dysphonia) - answer-_increased opening of the VF
-voice: breathy, pitch breaks
ABductor Muscle (intrinsic)
(open the glottis & separate VFs) - answer--posterior cricoarytenoids (PCA)
Acoustic - answer--frequency/ amplitude/ duration

together)

Cricoarytenoid Joints - answer--attach to base of arytenoids & superior surface of
cricoid.
