Review the following statements about the several different classifications of occlusion, and then sort the questions by True or False:
True: In a Class II malocclusion visually presents as a receding chin

With oral phonemes, the air escapes from the oral cavity, and with nasal phonemes, it escapes from the nasal cavity.
Correct answer:True
False
True

TrueCorrect answer:False
False
Review the following statements about resonance, and then sort the questions by True or False:
True
Hypernasal speech is a result of the nasal tract not closing sufficiently.
All the vowels in English are produced with the oral tract open.
False
To produce nasal sounds (e.g /m/, /n/), the levator veli palatini and muscular uvulae close the nasal tract.

- Tongue muscles are classified as either extrinsic or intrinsic.

The opening between the oral cavity and the oropharynx is called the:
vestibule

The tongue is considered a muscular hydrostat because it:
Contains cartilage instead of bone
Is composed entirely of smooth muscle
Contains only intrinsic muscles
Has no skeletal support but can move in many directions

When you have good velar closure during swallowing
it keeps one from having nasal regurgitation
it keeps post-nasal mucus from entering the airway
it provides a seal for the positive pressure of swallowing
