- glottis

- buccal cavity
- mucosal space
- digastric | buccal cavity |
Production of the vowel /i/ as in "heat" can be described as having:
- A high/front tongue position with the oral cavity more expanded than the pharynx
- A high/front tongue position with the oral cavity more constricted than the pharynx
- A low/back tongue position with the oral cavity more constricted than the pharynx
- A low/front tongue position with the oral cavity more constricted than the pharynx
- A low/back tongue position with the oral cavity more expanded than the pharynx | A high/front tongue position with the oral cavity more constricted than the pharynx |
The term "coarticulation" refers to:
- The ability of ventriloquists to produce a /b/ sound without bringing the lips together
- The ability of the jaw to move the tongue superiorly and inferiorly in the oral cavity
- The ability to produce velar and alveolar consonants at the same time
- The production of portions of multiple phonetic elements simultaneously
- A measurement technique in which the movement of an articulator is forced to coincide with the activity of the muscle | The production of portions of multiple phonetic elements simultaneously |
Which of the following sets of three consonants would all be produced with the same place of constriction in the vocal tract?
/n/, /d/, /t/
/n/, /g/, /k/
/s/, /t/. /k/
/m/, /d/, /b/
/n/, /m/, /b/ | /n/, /d/, /t/ |
The buccinator is best described as:
- Between the inner surface of the mandible and the hyoid bone, lowering mandible
- Between the sides of the tongue and the midline of the soft palate, elevating the tongue
- Between the maxilla and the upper lip, raising the angle of the mouth up
- An oval ring of muscle, located within the lips, puckering the lips
- The deepest muscle of the face, principal muscle of the cheek, pulling mouth corners | The deepest muscle of the face, principal muscle of the cheek, pulling mouth corners |
Which pair of muscles could be contracted to lower the mandible?
Digastric and palatoglossus
Temporalis and geniohyoid
Mylohyoid and geniohyoid
Masseter and internal pterygoid
Medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid | Mylohyoid and geniohyoid |
The term "muscular hydrostat" means that the tongue:
- Is compressible, can increase or decrease in volume depending on which muscles contract
- Contains the only bones in the body that are filled with water
- Provides its own skeletal support
- Utilizes muscle contraction to regulate the amount of saliva produced in the oral cavity
- Is incompressible, maintains a constant volume when muscles contract, and provides its own skeletal support | Is incompressible, maintains a constant volume when muscles contract, and provides its own skeletal support |
Contraction of the transverse muscle of the tongue would have which effect:
Elevate the tongue tip
Narrow and elongate the tongue
Pull the tongue superiorly and posteriorly
Flatten and broaden the tongue
Lower the tongue tip
| Narrow and elongate the tongue |
For normal production of the consonant /t/, what must be true about the state of the velopharyngeal port?
It must be elevated
It must be depressed
It can be open or closed because the velopharyngeal port is not involved in production of /t/
It must be open
It must be closed | It must be closed |
The muscles of the palate are not innervated by which of the following cranial nerves?
Hypoglossal (CN XII)
Facial (CN VII)
Accessory (CN XI)
Trigeminal (CN V)
Vagus (CN X) | Facial (CN VII) |
Which of the following muscles is most involved in elevating the velum?
Salpingopharyngeus
Palatopharyngeus
Tensor veli palatini
Musculus uvulae
Levator veli palatini | Levator veli palatini |
The function of the tensor veli palatini is best described as
Opening the eustachian tube and tensing the velum
Lowering the velum
Palatizing the tensor
Opening the nostril
Elevating the velum | Opening the eustachian tube and tensing the velum |
At one time a chewing tobacco company advertised the use of one of its products as "just a pinch between your cheek and gums." What is the name of the cavity or space in which the tobacco would be placed according to this ad (if you did decide to do such a thing)?
Oral cavity
Digastric cavity
Buccal cavity
Glottis
Mucosal space | Buccal cavity |
During a smile, which muscle would definitely not be contracted:

The posterior faucial pillars are formed primarily by which muscle?
Palatopharyngeus
Hyoglossus
Faucial extensor posterioris
Palatoglossus
Styloglossus
| Palatopharyngeus |
If you wanted to move the tip of your tongue superiorly, you would contract the:
Superior longitudinal
Transverse

Inferior longitudinal | Superior longitudinal |
Which pair of intrinsic tongue muscles can work together to protrude the tongue?
Superior longitudinal and inferior longitudinal
Transverse and genioglossus
Superior longitudinal and transverse
Transverse and vertical
Vertical and genioglossus | Transverse and vertical |
If you wanted to depress the velum, you would contract the:
All of the above
Stylopharyngeus
Nasalis
Musculus uvulae
Palatoglossus | Palatoglossus |
Which muscle widens the cross section of the pharynx and elevates the pharynx
Stylopharyngeus
Middle constrictor
Thyroarytenoid
Levator pharyngeus
Buccinators
| Stylopharyngeus |
Secondary to some strange infection, a man lost the neural innervation to the posterior part of the genioglossus. Based on your knowledge of muscle activation and tongue position, production of which vowel will now become most problematic for this man:
Vowel production would not be affected.
/i/ as in "heat"
/a/ as in "hot"
/u/ as in "hoot"
/æ/ as in "hat" | /i/ as in "heat" |
