Supralaryngeal Anatomy
Vocal Tract
• Articulation: a joining of structures loosely
to allow movement
– For speech: modification of the airstream into
the various sound of speech
– Airstream is either set into vibration at the
larynx (voiced sound) or flows through open
glottis unimpeded (voiceless)
– Modification occurs in vocal tract
• Throat, mouth, nose
Vocal Tract
• Sounds are formed in three ways:
–Exploding the airstream with
bursts of pressure
–Constricting it to generate
turbulence
–Resonating it to shape different
qualities of tone
Articulators
• Articulators or vocal tract include:
–Tongue
–Lips
–Jaw
–Velopharynx
–Pharyngeal cavities
Development of Vocal Tract
• Right angle formed by the
cranialvertebral junction (angle of upper
throat where spine joins skull)
• Orientation of head & neck- vertical
• Base of cranium & vocal tract are bent
sharply relative to axis
• Bend is unique to humans
Development of Vocal Tract
• What does the shape of vocal tract preserve?
– Horizontal orientation of the special sense
organs (sight, smell, hearing) & feeding
apparatus
– Straight continuity between the brain stem and
the spinal cord
• Advantages:
– Completely close the nasal cavity while
maintaining an open oropharyngeal tract
• Human infants cannot close nasal tract
Development of Vocal Tract
• Neonatal:
– Born with nonhuman oropharyngeal anatomy
• Epiglottis high in the pharynx (touches soft palate)
• Larynx is positioned high
– Changes that occur:
• Larynx moves inferiorly, away from tongue and soft palate
• Epiglottis moves inferiorly
– Advantages of early oropharyngeal anatomy
• Allows respiration and feeding to occur simultaneously

Cavities
• Major subdivisions of the vocal tract
that participate in articulation:
– Pharyngeal Cavity (throat)
– Nasal Cavity (nose)
– Oral Cavity (mouth)
Oral Cavity
• Extends from the oral opening, or mouth, in front
to the faucial pillars in back
• Oral opening involved in articulation
• Hard palate= hard roof or your mouth
– Rugae- prominent ridges running laterally (formation
of bolus)
– Median raphe- divided hard palate in half
• Soft Palate or Velum= Soft portion running behind
the hard palate
– Uvulus terminates soft palate
Oral Cavity
• Velum= movable muscle mass; separates oral &
nasal cavities
– Attached in front to the palatine bone
• Anterior & Posterior Faucial Pillars
– either side of soft palate, mark posterior margin of the
oral cavity
– Teeth and alveolar ridge of maxillae make up lateral
margins
• Palatine tonsils
– Between the Ant. & Post. faucial pillars

Pharyngeal Cavity
• Pharynx (3 regions)
– 12 cm in length
– Extends from the vocal folds blow to the region
behind the nasal cavities, above
– Tube is lined with muscle capable of
constricting to facilitate deglutition (also closes
velopharyngeal port)
• Velopharyngeal port- Opening between the
oropharynx and nasopharynx
Pharyngeal Cavity
• 3 regions:
– Oropharynx
• Portion of pharynx posterior to fauces, bounded above by
velum
• Lower boundary is the hyoid bone
– Laryngopharynx
• Bounded anteriorly by the epiglottis
• Inferiorly by the esophagus
– Nasopharynx
• Space above soft palate
• Bounded posteriorly by the protuberance of occipital bone
• lateral wall contains the orifice of Eustachian tube
Pharyngeal Muscles
• 3 large, thin muscles wrap around the
sides and back wall of the pharynx
– Inferior Constrictor
– Cricopharyngeus
– Middle Constrictor
– Stylopharyngeus
– Salpingopharyngeus
– Superior Constructor
Pharyngeal Muscles
Functions:
Superior
Constrictor
Middle
Constrictor
Inferior
Constrictor
1. NonspeechSwallowing-Mash food
-Major function to
shoot food into
esophagus
2. SpeechNarrowing pharynx,
Velopharyngeal
closure
Constrictor Pharyngis Inferior
* Level of laryngopharynx
* Origin: Sides of cricoid cartilage
anterior & lateral arch, fibers run
in a semi-circle
* Insertion: Dorsal pharyngeal midline raphe
Constrictor Pharyngis Medius
* Level of oropharynx
* Origin: Portion of hyoid
bone, wraps around
* Insertion: Midline raphe
Constrictor Pharyngis Superior
* Level of nasopharynx
*Origin: Very complex,
lots of bones of skull,
mandible, sides of tongue
* Insertion: Midline raphe
Stylopharyngeus
* Function: Will pull pharynx upward
& outward, expands pharynx
* Origin: Styloid process of temporal
bone, runs down
* Insertion: Fibers of the medial &
superior constrictors
Salpingopharyngeus
Origin: Eustachian tube (communication between pharynx
& middle ear)
Eustachian Tube
Salpingopharyngeus
Insertion: Pharyngeal walls
Function: thought to be involved in VP closure
Salpingopharyngeus
Salpingopharyngeus
Nasal Cavity
• Produced by paired maxillae, palatine
and nasal bones
• Divided by the nasal septum
• Made up of vomer bone, perpendicular
plate of ethmoid and cartilaginous
septum
• Nasal cavities & turbinates are covered
by mucous membrane
Nasal Cavity
• Air entering nasal cavity is warmed &
humidified to protect lungs
• Fine nasal hairs prevent particulate matter
from entering the lower respiratory
passageway
• Epithelia propel pollutants toward
nasopharynx where they are swallowed into
the esophagus
Nasal Cavity
• Nares or nostrils mark anterior
boundaries of the nasal cavities
• Nasal choanae are posterior portals
connecting the nasopharynx & nasal
cavities
• Floor of nasal cavity is the hard
palate
