Document Summary
Transverse (straight across, one side to another) and oblique arytenoid. One and only muscles that will actively abduct the vocal cords. We only have one because you do not want your vocal cords to have something that is not a gas penetrate the laryngeal space. Lengthening and tensing the vocal folds will change the sound of your voice. Vocal folds adduct and seal off the air, air pressure builds below the folds, Folds drawn back by negative air pressure as air moves through. Folds move laterally from bottom to top. Return to midline from bottom to top. Structures prevent foreign stuff from entering the lungs. Abnormal lung sounds such as crackles, rhonchi. Slp will exam with temperature, texture, and delivery system options. There may be things you can eat if there is an informed view of all of these things. We make no assumptions about what a patient can handle. Some can only hand thick liquids because they move slower.
