Articulatory Anatomy
The alveolar ridge is also referred to as the alveolar process. This inferiority directed ridge of the maxilla houses the upper teeth.
The soft palate is also referred to as the velum. This musculotendinous structure extends posteriorly from the hard palate and acts to modify the comunication between the oral cavity below and the nasal cavity above.
The teeth are embedded in the alveolar process of the maxilla and mandible.
The lips form the oriffice of the mouth and are comprised of muscle fibers from a number of different facial muscles.
The oral cavity is also referred to as the mouth. It is a resonating chamber whose shape is modified by the articulators to produce the various oral and nasal speech sounds.
The epiglottis is a leaf shaped cartilaginous structure located behind the hyold bone and roof of the tongue.
The paired vocal folds are located in the larynx, coursing from the thyroid cartilage anteriorly to the arytenoids cartilages posteriorly. The vocal folds vibrate to create sounds for vowels and voiced consonants.
The pharynx is a resonating cavity or chamber lying above the larynx and posterior to the oral cavity.
The nasal cavity is a resonating chamber lying above the hard and soft palate.
Also known as the lower jaw, the mandible houses the lower teeth. The tongue and lowe lip also ride on the mandible.
Along with the soft palate, the hard palate forms the roof of the mouth.
The blade is the part of the tongue lying just below the upper alveolar ridge.
The tongue back is that part of the tongue lying below the soft palate.
The tongue tip is that part of the tongue lying closest to the front teeth.
