-
-
Functions

pharynx is constricted, the vocal tract will be smaller and the pitch of the air will be higher.
pharynx is open (or not-constricted like for swallowing), the vocal tract will be larger
SOFT PALATE
Characteristics
-
-

Functions
-
If it lowers, acoustic information is dampened by the wet nasal cavity resonator.
LARYNX
Characteristics
series of cartilages that sits on top of the trachea, or the windpipe
-
-
Functions
larynx is pulled up (as for swallowing) the vocal tract becomes shorter, hence creates a higher pitch of the air.
