SLP Praxis Practice Test | Questions with 100% Correct Answers | Verified | 74 Pages| Latest Update 2024 Three structures key to adequate respiration Correct Answer lungs, bronchi, trachea, sternum, spinal column Lungs in respiration Correct Answer right lung is broader than left. Lungs full with air when you inhale due to decreased pressure. healthy lungs are soft, spongy, porous, elastic and pink at rest. Lungs are inflated to about 40% of their total lung capacity. Bronchi in respiration Correct Answer Extend from the lungs upward to the trachea. Composed of cartilaginous rings bound together by fibroelastic tissue. Subdivide into bronchioles. As they divide they become less cartilaginous and more muscular. Communicate with alveolar ducts that open into tiny air sacs in the lungs. Trachea in respiration Correct Answer When one inhales, the air goes through the larynx to the trachea to the lungs, then the air goes upward again. The trachea is composed of about 20 rings of cartilage that are incomplete in the back. This is where the trachea meets the esophagus. The trachea extends from the larynx. Describe /m/ in terms of place-voice-manner of articulation Correct Answer bilabial, voiced, lower the velum to keep the velopharyngeal port open. Manner= nasal. (The open velopharyngeal port allows the sound produced by the vibrating vocal folds to pass through the nasal cavity. The vocal tract is lengthened, and there is an overall increase in the area for resonance. ) Describe /m/ in terms of distinctive features Correct Answer +voiced +consonantal +high +back +nasal Describe /s/ in terms of place-voice-manner of articulation Correct Answer place= lingua-alveolar; voiceless; manner= fricative Describe /s/ in terms of distinctive features Correct Answer +consonantal +anterior +coronal +continuant +strident Myoelastic-aerodynamic theory Correct Answer States the vocal folds vibrate because of the forces and pressure of air and the elasticity of the vocal folds. Bernoulli Effect Correct Answer Caused by the speed of air passing between the vocal folds, is the "sucking" motion of the vocal folds toward one another. Pharyngeal Muscles Correct Answer Salpingopharyngeus (elevates lateral pharyngeal wall) Stylopharyngeus (elevates and opens pharynx)
