Human brains much bigger than other animals: bro(cid:272)a"s area speech production, wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s area written/spoken language comprehension, arcuate fasciculus bu(cid:374)dle of a(cid:454)o(cid:374)s that (cid:272)o(cid:374)(cid:374)e(cid:272)t wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s a(cid:374)d bro(cid:272)a"s area. When contracts you bring in air because it causes chest cavity to get bigger (lungs expand). Intercostal muscles: also used to regulate breathing: trachea: air comes up through trachea and through the vocal cords to create sound, need vocal cords to push and have bowel movements.

Inspiration/expiration cycles are even: breathing for speech, short inspiration/prolonged expiration, when talking take in breath then talk for a while before taking next breath. Clearing throat is bad because it also strain vocal cords.
