Aerodynamic Myoelastic Theory: vibration of the vocal folds is the product of air flow and pressure through a constricted tube interacting with the elastic component of muscle tissue in absence of repetitive muscular contraction
Bernoulli Principle: given a constant volume flow of air or fluid, at a point of constriction there will be decrease in air pressure perpendicular to the flow and an increase in velocity of the flow
Phases:
Opening
Open
Closing
Closed
Sustained Phonation: The interaction of subglottal pressure, tissue elasticity, and constriction as long as pressure flow and vocal fold approximation are maintained

The arytenoid cartilages sit on the superior surface of the cricoid. The cricoarytenoid joint permits rotation, rocking, and gliding.
Hyoid Bone: Only bone in the body that is not attached to other bone
Supra hyoid: laryngeal elevators Infra hyoid: laryngeal depressors
Cricothyroid Joint: contraction of the cricothyroid muscle, the effect is to tense the vocal folds
Articular facet of the arytenoid cartilage permits inward rocking, ap gliding, and rotation.
