name four vocal organs of speech that are used in the production of speech
Vocal organs of speech that are used in the production of speech include:
The lungs: they are the spongy respiratory organs located inside the ribcage and provide the energy source for the airflow, initiating production of speech.
The larynx (voice box) and vocal folds: it is the box-like small structure located in front of the throat and is formed of cartilages and muscles which house the trachea and vocal folds. This is where phonation takes place. The vocal folds convert the air delivered by the lungs to audible sound.
The nasal cavity: this is the empty space in the nose through which the air passes.
The oral cavity (articulators): the articulators include the tongue, upper lip, lower lip, upper teeth, upper gum ridge, the hard palate, the velum, the uvula, the pharyngeal wall and he glottis. They give shape to the sound produced by the human.
