USU COMD 5070 - Exam 2Speech Aerodynamics 
-mmnts of pressure, flow, resistance as related to speech prod 
-air pressure & air flow in resistance created by larynx change in dynamic fashion during speech 
 
 
Speech and Air Pressure 
-driving force of speech comes from lungs as produce air pressure there 
-as reduce size of lungs, increase pressure within them - air flow from high to low pressure region (atmos pressure), air flows along pressure gradient from inside to outside 
-When produce spe...
COMD 5070 Final Exam Study GuideWhat is Science? - correct answer 1. Empirical: Based on data 
2. Deterministic: Obeys physical laws of cause and effect (not random) 
3. Predictive: if you do this...then that will happen; it can influence another one 
4. Parsimonious: use simplest explanation possible rather than make unnecessarily complicated - boil it down to its essence, without dumbing down.
