Hearing01:31

Hearing

48.0K
When we hear a sound, our nervous system is detecting sound waves—pressure waves of mechanical energy traveling through a medium. The frequency of the wave is perceived as pitch, while the amplitude is perceived as loudness.

Breathing01:05

Breathing

50.4K
The process of breathing, inhaling and exhaling, involves the coordinated movement of the chest wall, the lungs, and the muscles that move them. Two muscle groups with important roles in breathing are the diaphragm, located directly below the lungs, and the intercostal muscles, which lie between the ribs. When the diaphragm contracts, it moves downward, increasing the volume of the thoracic cavity and creating more room for the lungs to expand. When the intercostal muscles contract, the ribs...

Pharynx01:20

Pharynx

9.7K
The pharynx, a tubular structure framed by skeletal muscle and lined with mucous membrane, extends continuously from the nasal cavities. It is segmented into three major areas: the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and laryngopharynx.
Nasopharynx
The nasopharynx, bordered by the conchae of the nasal cavity, serves exclusively as an air conduit. In its superior region, the pharyngeal tonsils or adenoids are located. These tonsils are clusters of lymphoid reticular tissue akin to a lymph node. The precise...

Larynx01:21

Larynx

6.4K
The human larynx, often referred to as the voice box, is an intricate organ located in the neck. It serves as a pathway for air to enter the lungs during respiration and is an essential component of voice production.
Anatomy of the Larynx
The larynx consists of various components, including cartilage, muscles, and vocal cords. Its structure includes three large unpaired cartilages—the thyroid, cricoid, and epiglottis—and three smaller paired cartilages—the arytenoids,...

Physical Assessment of the Respiratory Tract IV: Auscultation

3.8K
Auscultation is a crucial component of the physical assessment of the respiratory tract. It offers valuable insights into airflow through the bronchial tree and potential lung obstructions. This process involves careful listening to breath, voice, and adventitious sounds, which can reveal a wealth of information about a patient's respiratory health.
Breath Sounds
Breath sounds are categorized into vesicular, bronchovesicular, and bronchial.

Air-entraining Agents01:27

Air-entraining Agents

400
Air-entraining agents improve the durability and workability of concrete in climates with frequent freezing and thawing. These agents prevent cracks by introducing small air bubbles into the mix, creating spaces accommodating water expansion when temperatures drop. The air-entraining agents lower the surface tension of water, forming stable, small air bubbles. This method is more effective than having accidental large voids, as the intentional, smaller, and evenly distributed air voids improve...

Summary

Adolescent voice changes involve larynx growth and vocal shifts, particularly affecting singing during the second phase. Adapted vocal techniques can help young singers navigate this transformative period.

Area of Science:

  • Vocal pedagogy
  • Adolescent physiology
  • Singing voice development

Context:

  • Adolescence brings significant physiological changes to the phonatory apparatus.
  • Voice breaking involves larynx growth and vocal type alterations.
  • Singing voice modifications occur distinctly during the second phase of voice breaking.

Purpose:

  • To describe the physiological changes during adolescent voice breaking.
  • To explain the two-phase nature of voice breaking and its impact on singing.
  • To advocate for adapted vocal techniques to support young singers.

Summary:

  • The adolescent phonatory apparatus undergoes significant modifications, including larynx lowering and growth, leading to voice type changes.
  • Voice breaking occurs in two phases, with the singing voice primarily affected in the second phase, showing a temporal delay relative to the speaking voice.

  • While ceasing singing is an option, developing an adapted vocal technique is recommended to assist young singers through this transitional period.

    • Impact:

    • Provides guidance for educators and vocal coaches working with adolescent singers.
    • Contributes to understanding the physiological and pedagogical aspects of voice development.
    • Supports the continuation of vocal training during a critical developmental stage.
