Topic 3Introductory Anatomy and
Physiology of the Speech, Voice and Auditory System
The Respiratory System
Anatomical Terms
Anterior toward the front Posterior/Dorsal toward the back
Superior upper Inferior lowerExternal toward the outside Internal toward the insideMedial toward or near the midline Lateral toward the sideDeep away from the surface Superficial toward the
surface
Anatomical Terms Relating to Musculature
Origin a muscle’s point of attachment that’s relatively fixed
Insertion a muscle’s point of attachment that’s relatively movable
Action the movement of a structure that occurs during muscle contraction. Usually occurs at the insertion point
Respiratory Systemprimary biological function of the
respiratory system is to supply oxygen to the blood and remove excess carbon dioxide from the body
Supplying the power source for speech is a secondary function
Structural Framework of the Respiratory System
1. Vertebral column2. Thorax3. Pectoral girdle4. Pelvic girdle
Vertebral Column
Comprised of 32 separate bony vertebrae joined together by ligaments or fibrous connective tissue
Vertebrae
Body Spinal processes
Vertebral Column
Cervical (7) Sacral (5) Thoracic (12) Coccygeal
(5) Lumbar (5)
Thorax
12 thoracic vertebrae
Sternum 12 pairs of ribs
Thorax
True Ribs Costal
cartilages Sternum False ribs Floating ribs
Pectoral Girdle
Clavicle Scapula
Pelvic Girdle
Ilium Ischiu
m Pubis
Pulmonary System
Trachea Lungs
Trachea
Cartilaginous and membranous tube
20 horseshoe-shaped rings of cartilage that extends downward from the larynx
Pulmonary System
Musculature
1. Muscles of inhalation• Above the diaphragm
2. Muscles of exhalation• Below the diaphragm
3. Paired
Muscles of InhalationDiaphragm
A thin, dome-shaped structure composed of muscle fibers and a broad tendon on its superior surface.
As the diaphragm contracts, it pulls the lungs downward increasing lung volume
Other Muscles of Inhalation
external intercostals
11 pairs of muscles located in the
spaces between the ribs
assist in increasing the size of the thoracic cavity during inhalation
Other Muscles of Inhalation
internal intercostals
paired with the externals and lie just deep to them.
help control the descent of the rib cage during exhalation
Pectoralis Major and MinorMajor is the upper
view; minor is the lower view
Both assist in elevation of the ribs and in thoracic expansion during inhalation
Levatores Costarum 12 pairs located on the
posterior aspect of the rib cage
serve to elevate the ribs and expand the thorax during inhalation.
Sternocleidomastoid and Scalene Muscles
Found primarily in the neck
Pull up on the sternum and first 2 ribs during inhalation
Muscles of Exhalation
External Obliques
Muscles of Exhalation
Internal Obliques
Muscles of Exhalation
Transverse Adominis
Muscles of Exhalation
Rectus Abdominis
Physiology for Respiration and Breathing for Speech
Tidal Breathing Rate and depth depends on the
body’s oxygen needs and amount of CO2 in the blood
Physiology for Respiration and Breathing for Speech
Inhalation Rib cage elevates, causing the lungs to
expandExhalation
Thorax decreases, reducing lung volume
Air pressure in the lungs increases Air rushes out Passive recoil forces
Speech BreathingRespiration during speech differs from quiet,
tidal, breathing in a number of ways:
1. during speech breathing, inhalations occur only at major linguistic boundaries like between phrases and sentences
2. during speech breathing, the time spent inhaling is shortened greatly and the time spent exhaling is greatly increased
3. during quiet breathing, the air exchange during one respiratory cycle is about 1/2 liter whereas one may inhale as much as 2 liters of air during speech breathing, depending on the utterance
4. speech breathing frequently requires active muscle contraction during exhalation
Life-Span Issues Regarding Respiration
